'''Auntie Dot''' ([[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[Artificial Intelligence]] serial number: ADT 6849-9) was a UNSC [[Dumb artificial intelligence|"dumb" AI]] in [[2552]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level, ''[[ONI: Sword Base]]''</ref><ref name="vis"/> Rather than personifying herself in the form of a humanoid [[avatar]], as the majority of AIs do, Dot's personal representation is a grid of glowing, constantly changing blue lights. Dot typically speaks in a calm, dry, articulate voice, displaying little emotion compared to AIs like [[Cortana]].
==Overview==

==Operational history==
==Operational history==
===Fall of Reach===
===Human-Covenant War===
During the [[Fall of Reach]], she monitored and assisted [[Noble Team]] and kept the team's members connected while they were embarking on separate missions. She observed the team and provided intel where possible through security cameras and satellites orbiting Reach, but her actual physical location during the battle is unknown. Similarly, it is not known if Dot survived the Fall of Reach, nor what her activities afterwards were if she did.<ref name="vis"/>
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}}

==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}}

*One of Auntie Dot's loading screen images could be a reference to the [[Superintendent]] AI, as it appears to be a circle-like shape with two eyes in the center.
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]].
