Throughout her hacking, the Weapon was observed by another presence and it was only on the fourth beacon that she realized that it was actually The [[Harbinger]]. The Weapon realized that it was a trap with the Harbinger trying to break the deadlock on starting the Spires by combining the Weapon's routines with [[117649 Despondent Pyre|the Monitor's]]. The Master Chief suggested stopping and creating a stalemate, but the Weapon warned him that the Harbinger is close and that she would eventually find a way. With no other choice, the Master Chief allowed the Weapon to proceed, but he discreetly activated a deletion protocol for the AI just in case. When nothing happened to her, the Weapon suggested that she was just being paranoid and the Master Chief dodged her question about what he was saying while activating her deletion protocol.{{Ref/Level|Hi|[[The Sequence]]}} | ||

Later, while interfacing with Halo in the [[Nexus (location)|Nexus]], the Weapon was trapped in the system by the Harbinger. The Weapon begged the Master Chief for help, but, worrying that the AI had been compromised, he went through the authentication to manually delete the Weapon instead. However, the Weapon managed to break free of the Harbinger's clutches and override the deletion protocol. The Weapon was livid that the Master Chief was willing to turn on her so quickly rather than trust in her to break free herself while he was furious that she had stopped him and put them all at risk. The Weapon confirmed that the Reformation has begun, but reveals that she had managed to steal Pyre's [[encephalon]] from the Harbinger, reminding the Master Chief that she was an infiltration program. The Master Chief continued to argue that she broke protocol, causing the Weapon to demand what was wrong with him as she was only trying to help them and it was worth the risk before activating a [[gravity lift]].{{Ref/Level|Hi|[[Nexus]]}} | Later, while interfacing with Halo in the [[Nexus (location)|Nexus]], the Weapon was trapped in the system by the Harbinger.

Maybe even another Cortana model if Halsey lets them. It won't be me, you know that, right?" In her final message to the Master Chief, Cortana jokingly echoes this statement to him. | ||
