'''Aine''' ([[AI Serial Number]]: '''ANE 3567-7''') was an [[artificial intelligence]] construct built by the [[United Nations Space Command]].<ref name="ttw53">'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 53''</ref> She was the original shipboard AI of the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} before her destruction during the [[Battle of Requiem]].{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}}

==Biography==
Aine's role was to prepare newly constructed ships for deployment, with her latest assignment being the ''Infinity''. She was to be the temporary AI of ''Infinity'', until [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Andrew Del Rio]] picked a permanent AI.{{Ref/Reuse|ttw53}} 

===Rebel incursion on ''Infinity''===
{{Main|Raid on UNSC Infinity}}
Aine was onboard ''Infinity'' when [[Insurrectionist]]s belonging to [[Mattius Drake]]'s "[[New Colonial Alliance]]" boarded the ship. When the rebels entered the [[bridge]], she instantly recognized [[Ilsa Zane]] and was immediately taken offline.<ref name="initiation2">'''[[Halo: Initiation]]''', ''Issue #2''</ref> The attack was repelled due to the efforts of the [[SPARTAN-IV Program|SPARTAN-IVs]] and Commander [[Lasky]]. As Spartans [[Sarah Palmer]] and [[Edward Davis]] cleared the bridge of rebels, Zane engaged Palmer in hand-to-hand combat. In the ensuing fight, Del Rio brought Aine back online, who then activated the ships containment doors which allowed Palmer to knock Zane out into space.{{Ref/Reuse|initiation3}}

===Trial deployment===
In March of [[2553]], Aine was present aboard ''Infinity'' during [[Terrence Hood|Fleet Admiral Lord Hood]] and [[Margaret Parangosky|Admiral Parangosky]]'s inspection of the ship. She was bothered by the recently assigned [[Huragok]], since they didn't document the modifications they made to the ship, leaving her unaware of what they were doing.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 230''</ref> She participated in the subsequent trial deployment on [[Sanghelios]] to test the ship's capabilities in the guise of assisting the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] and his forces in the ongoing [[Blooding Years]].

===Requiem===

Despite her being originally intended as a temporary AI to oversee the ship's construction and shakedown,{{Ref/Reuse|ttw53}} Aine continued to serve as the ''Infinity'''s AI for four years until [[2557]]. When the ''Infinity'' was hacked by the [[Forerunner]] known as [[Ur-Didact|the Didact]] and the ship crashed inside [[Requiem]], Aine was severely damaged by the impact. During the battle, [[Cortana]] asked Aine to let her help the ship's crew, but Aine, noticing Cortana's [[rampancy]] and the deactivation of her central power core at Cortana's hands, threatened her with locking the AI and [[John-117]] on the ship. In response, Cortana broke down Aine's matrix, killing her.<ref>'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''' ''- [[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop 7]]'' - "Aine... Aine? Damn it! You should have let us help while you had the chance.", Cortana</ref> The conversation was recorded as the "Cyroraeth Dialogue", and the story of her death was hidden to the majority of the ship's crew, believing Aine was terminated upon the ''Infinity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s impact on Requiem.<ref name="DD7">'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''' ''- [[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop 7]]''</ref>

Five months later, she was replaced by [[Roland (AI)|Roland]].{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}}

==Description==
Like a number of other AIs, Aine was known to alter her holographic [[avatar]] on occasion. During the rebel takeover of the ship, she appeared in an elaborate, partially translucent dress with flowers in her hair, matching [[wikipedia:Áine|her namesake]] from Celtic mythology.{{Ref/Reuse|initiation2}} Later, when preparing the ''Infinity'' for its first trials, she appeared as a "thirty-something" woman wearing baggy white overalls, with safety goggles on her head.{{Ref/Reuse|avatar}}
