Melissa | '''Melissa''' is an [[artificial intelligence]] construct created from [[Yasmine Zaman]]'s brain. Yasmine "washed out' of the [[Spartans|Spartan-II training program]] at age fourteen, dying during augmentation. Melissa became the [[A.I.]] of the [[UNSC Apocalypso|ONI stealth ship Apocalypso]].<ref>[[Axon Clips Chapter 10]]</ref> The character is voiced by [[Kristen Rutherford]]. | ||

When the Deep-Space Artifact created a [[Slipspace]] explosion on return to Earth, she was blown apart, with some parts being transmitted to Earth of the present and others being thrown back in time to the Earth of the early 21st century. | ||

In 2004 some of the fragments infected the ilovebees.com website, a fitting coincidence as "Melissa" is Greek for "bee".<ref>http://www.behindthename.com/name/melissa</ref> Also brought along to 2004 was the Covenant [[Seeker]], who took the title of "The Pious Flea." [[System Peril Distributed Reflex]], aka SPDR or Spider, which was an emergency program that attempted to repair Melissa. [[The Operator]] or Op, is the AI/Spartan part of Melissa and is aggressive and fragmented. [[The Sleeping Princess]] is based on Young Yasmine's memories. She speaks in fairy tale language, calling The Operator "The Evil Queen" and the SPDR "The Widow." | |||
Melissa's SPDR began intense repairs and attempted to remove The Seeker's influence from her. Before succeeding, The Seeker successfully impersonated the SPDR and convinced The Operator to disable the true repair program. The Seeker corrupted her and began work on destroying both halves of Melissa's personality. However, The Sleeping Princess eventually allied with The Seeker, calling it "The Pious Flea." In exchange for education on human concepts like fear and humor, The Seeker protected The Sleeping Princess from The Operator. When "The Evil Queen" imprisoned and damaged the Princess, The Seeker absorbed her and recompiled the two split halves. | Melissa's SPDR began intense repairs and attempted to remove The Seeker's influence from her.

The SPDR then promptly killed The Seeker and prepared the ilovebees server to keep it functional for 500 years until October 9, 2552, at 06:07:00, until it could send itself and the information it had gathered to UNSC forces. | ||

Not all of Melissa was sent back in time, as another fragment somehow landed on the home PC of [[Jersey Morelli]] in New York City. Jersey names this fragment [[Durga]], and has her engage in espionage which unwittingly leads her to uncover the threads of what happened to the ''Apocalypso'' and even meet Yasmine's brother [[Kamal Zaman|Kamal]] in a lengthy series of real-world events that reveal the interconnection of the stories of the Zaman family, the UNSC, and the impending Covenant Attack on Earth. Through these events, several of Durga's human allies were imprisoned. | Not all of Melissa was sent back in time, as another fragment somehow landed on the home PC of [[Jersey Morelli]] in New York City.

Reports had just come in from the [[Pillar of Autumn]] about [[Halo]], and Melissa correctly suspected that the artifact was a remote control that fires the Halos. Though technically a rogue, she continued to help her friends reach safety before the Covenant attack. | ||
