| ==Overview==
| | In [[2552]], an A.I. contruct, [[Cortana]], wired a transfer of funds to the Gilgamesh brothel, masquerading as [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]]. This was her form of payback for his heavy-handed attempt to make sure that the [[MJOLNIR]] shield test failed. Since the brothel would send a confirmation of this action, she knew that this action would make his wife quite mad and in turn disrupt his life <ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 266-267</ref>. |
