After John awakened, Halsey explained to him that the neural implant would make Cortana always available to him and he reluctantly agreed to meet her. Cortana introduced herself to John who noted that Cortana looked like Halsey herself and cut off Cortana's explanation of her role. Halsey explained that, due the system having a hollow particle exciter, Cortana could appear to him in any environment and John questioned if he commanded Cortana and where she went when he wasn't deployed, repeatedly referring to Cortana as "it." Cortana called their relationship more of a partnership and realized that John must not know what she was capable of. Halsey cut off Cortana's explanation of her abilities and Cortana awkwardly departed. John remained uncomfortable with the idea despite Halsey's reassurances that Cortana would enhance his abilities a hundred fold.{{Ref/Reuse|Emergence}} | After John awakened, Halsey explained to him that the neural implant would make Cortana always available to him and he reluctantly agreed to meet her.

Cortana was taken aboard [[Arbiter]] [[Var 'Gatanai]]'s [[ | Cortana was taken aboard [[Arbiter]] [[Var 'Gatanai]]'s [[flagship]] where she sarcastically offered [[Makee]] advice on how to properly summon her. Cortana admitted that she and [[John-117/Silver|John]] worked together after a moment of hesitation and revealed that she had John's memories. Makee demanded for Cortana to show her what John remembered of [[Halo Array|Halo]], but Cortana told Makee that it didn't belong to her and, in [[Sangheili (language)/Silver|Sangheili]], that she didn't belong to Makee either. Makee warned Cortana that if the AI ceased to be useful to her, Makee would cease to be useful to the Hierarchs and they both knew what happened to unuseful things. | ||
Var attempted to take them to [[High Charity]], planning to give Cortana over to the Hierarchs as a token to make up for his failure. As Var was about to strike Makee down for suggesting that they go against the Hierarchs, Cortana intervened by displaying John's memory of Halo for them. Var agreed to break away from the Covenant to seek out Halo on their own, and Makee and Cortana exchanged a silent nod.{{Ref/Reuse|Aleria}} | Var attempted to take them to [[High Charity]], planning to give Cortana over to the Hierarchs as a token to make up for his failure.
