There was an '''unnamed Covenant [[Associated Intelligence]]''' construct used by the [[Covenant]] which was stationed on the Covenant [[Assault Carrier|flagship]] ''[[Ascendant Justice]]''<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], page 64</ref> however it never identified itself with a name. When [[Cortana]] infiltrated the ''Ascendant Justice'' the Covenant AI tried to stop her, but it was mostly unsuccessful as she eventually caught it and decompiled it. The Covenant AI hated that Cortana was able to improve upon Covenant technology, believing it to be heresy,<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], page 86</ref> and managed to send a message over the [[Battlenet]] before it was caught, both warning of the capture of the ship and sending the calculations for a sub-atmospheric [[Slipspace]] jump.<ref name="infidel">[[Halo: First Strike]], page 170</ref>
 
The AI  demonstrated "fractured" thinking, as though it were suffering from the errors of being copied extensively. Cortana also stated that its algorithms looked very familiar leading Cortana to the possibility that a [[human]]-made [[UNSC]] AI had been captured and copied.<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], page 195</ref> When the AI faced its death from Cortana, it screamed a fractured statement: "Do what you will-wil-willwill. I go to finally to my heaven reward paradise final-finalfinalinfinityinfinityinfini-AT NONCOPYSTATE."<ref name="infidel"/> This perhaps indicates that it saw death as salvation from fractured life induced from repeated copying.
 
It is this unnamed AI's code that allowed Cortana to copy the code-breaking part of her logic into another Cortana, sent with Blue Team. They effectively used this fracture of Cortana to break into and eventually destroy The [[Unyielding Hierophant]], a Covenant Command Platform, and its resident fleet.
 
==Trivia==
 
The most likely reason of this unnamed [[Covenant]] [[AI]]'s disgust at [[Cortana]]'s improvements upon [[Covenant]] technology, is that the technology was handed down to the [[Covenant]] by the [[Forerunners]] and that technology was considered extremely sacred by the [[Covenant]], only allowed to be altered by the ever wise [[San 'Shyuum]].
