| '''Auntie Dot''' ([[AI Serial Number]]: ADT 6849-9) also known simply as '''Dot''', was a [[Dumb AI|"dumb"]] [[Artificial Intelligence|AI]] active in the service of the [[UNSC Army]] between the years of [[2541]] and [[2552]].{{Ref/Reuse|vis}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Specializing in operative military intelligence, she notably served as intelligent support and liaison between [[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland]] and [[Noble Team]] during the [[Fall of Reach]].{{Ref/Reuse|vis}} | | '''Auntie Dot''' was a [[UNSC]] [[Artificial Intelligence]] construct at the time of the [[Fall of Reach]].<ref name="IGN">[http://ie.xbox360.ign.com/articles/110/1106694p1.html '''IGN''': ''Why is Master Chief in Halo: Reach?'']</ref> She will keep the player connected to the rest of Noble Team while they are embarking on separate missions, and will play a similar role in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' to the role [[Cortana]] played in the original trilogy.<ref name="Campaign">[http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/110/1109806p1.html '''IGN''': ''Deep Into the Halo: Reach Campaign'']</ref> Rather than personifying herself in the form of a humanoid avatar, Dot's personal representation is a grid of glowing, constantly changing blue lights; Dot's grid is displayed as ''Halo: Reach''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s loading screen. |
| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
| Auntie Dot's primary precepts included tactics and intelligence analysis; she was primarily created to serve as an overwatch adjunct during [[United Nations Space Command]] field operations, and worked as a direct liasion between teams deployed in the field and their [[commanding officer]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
| |
| | |
| Rather than personifying herself in the form of a humanoid [[avatar]] like the majority of AIs, Dot's personal representation is a grid of glowing, constantly changing blue lights. Characteristic of "dumb" military intelligence support AIs, Dot typically speaks in a calm, dry, articulate voice, displaying little emotion compared to [[Smart AI]]s like [[Cortana]].{{Ref/Reuse|vis}}

| ==Operational history==
| |
| ===Human-Covenant War===
| |
| Auntie Dot was activated on [[2541#May|May 9, 2541]].{{Ref/Reuse|vis}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} She served between that year and the [[Covenant]] [[Fall of Reach|attack]] on [[Reach]] in late [[2552]]. During the Fall of Reach, Dot worked alongside Colonel Holland and several [[UNSC Special Forces]] units including [[Noble Team]] to provide observation and intelligence where possible through security cameras and satellites orbiting the planet connected to the [[UNSC battle network]]. She directed Noble Team during the [[Battle of Sword Base]] in late July 2552{{Ref/Level|HR|ONI: Sword Base}}, alongside the [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge]]{{Ref/Level|HR|Nightfall}}{{Ref/Level|HR|Tip of the Spear}}, [[Operation: UPPER CUT]]{{Ref/Level|HR|Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace}}, the [[Siege of New Alexandria]]{{Ref/Level|HR|Exodus}}{{Ref/Level|HR|New Alexandria}} and the campaign's closing engagements [[Operation: WHITE GLOVE|again at Sword Base]]{{Ref/Level|HR|The Package}} and finally the [[Battle of Asźod]].{{Ref/Level|HR|The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn}}

| | |
| During the campaign on Reach, Auntie Dot herself was housed in a [[Reach super-AI network|suite of physical servers]] located somewhere on Reach. The fate of the servers - and thus Dot's survival - is unknown{{Ref/Reuse|vis}}, though the chances they survived the planet's [[glassing]] are unlikely.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

| ==In-game information==

| ==Production notes==
| |
| Auntie Dot was introduced in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' as the AI companion to assist Noble Team throughout the game's [[campaign]]. She appears in almost every level of the game and is unlockable for use in the game's [[Firefight (Halo: Reach)|Firefight]] mode. Additionally, she appears throughout the game as the loading screen animation between missions. In-game, she was voiced by actress [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0749442/ Carole Ruggier].{{Ref/Game|HR|Halo: Reach credits|credits}}

| In the first week of [[Bungie]]'s "All-Star" contest in [[2011|January 2011]], the task was to produce an image of what a humanoid representation of Auntie Dot might look like.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=news&cid=30283|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie All Stars - Week Uno|D=15|M=01|Y=2021}} The winner depicted Dot as an elderly woman knitting a blanket with her characteristic grid pattern sewn into it.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=30329|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie Weekly Update: 01/14/2011|D=07|M=02|Y=2021}}

| Dot's grid accompanies the [[Halo: Reach credits|credits sequence]] to ''Reach'', and at the very end, just before it fades completely into darkness, it displays a [[seven]]. | |
