+An '''armored matrix''', also called a '''memory matrix''',<ref>'''[[Halo: The Great Journey: The Art of Building Worlds]]''', ''page 113''</ref> is a reinforced housing used by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] to securely transport an [[artificial intelligence]] construct. An armored matrix may be used when a [[holotank]] is not available, such as on a battlefield. Though the AI contained within can communicate verbally, there is no hologram emitter for it to manifest a body; hence, the AI can talk, but it cannot see.<ref name="Flood">'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 317''</ref>
-== Background ==
+Class-C Military AIs serving under [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODST]] commanding officers are carried in armored matrices aboard the officers' [[drop pod]]s. In this manner they may ride into a combat zone intact and be further operated when a [[Military base|firebase]] or other operational command post is put into place.{{Ref/Reuse|Flood}}
-An '''Armored Matrix''' is a form of complex, armored, storage devices that the [[UNSC]] uses for the storage and transportation of [[Artificial Intelligence]] constructs. The Armored matrix is used when there is a lack of a [[Holotank]] technology, such as on the battlefield. The Matrix is reinforced to make it difficult to destroy, though not impossible. Though the AI contained in it can communicate verbally, there is no hologram emitter for it to manifest a body; hence, the AI can talk, but it cannot see, depended on its humans' visualizations.
-The Class-C Military [[AIs]] of the [[ODST]] Command [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|Human Entry Vehicle]]s are carried in Armored Matrixes so that they may ride to a combat zone intact and be further operated when a [[Firebase]] or other operational command post is put into place.
+An armored matrix was used to house the AI [[Cortana]] while she was transferred by [[Spartan-III]] [[Noble Team]] to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} during the [[Fall of Reach]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Package]]''</ref> During an unspecified battle, [[Admiral]] [[Kovalic]] was protecting the armored matrix of an unknown AI from [[Covenant]] forces. With the help of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|Shock Trooper]] [[Sarah Palmer]], Kovalic and the AI made it safely off the planet.<ref>'''[[Halo: Initiation]]''', ''[[Halo: Initiation Issue 1|Issue #1]]''</ref>
