Just before the blast could kill him, Cortana transported John off the ship and wrapped him in a bubble of hard light. Additionally, she projected her avatar as a human-sized hard light construct, allowing her to face John and touch him at last. Rather than distraught like before, Cortana was at peace again, glad of their victory and that she could meet him this way. However, too much of her data had been left in the Didact's ship, which was rapidly falling apart from the blast. She only had enough power left to take John out without harm. The normally stoic John protested this, insisted he could save her again and that they were supposed to go together. But Cortana only walked backwards out of the bubble as John continued to protest, smiling as she told him "Welcome home, John." In her last moments she preserved John's bubble while the Didact's ship collapsed around him. | Just before the blast could kill him, Cortana transported John off the ship and wrapped him in a bubble of hard light.
