- "We're at war, Commander. Reach has fallen. Our backs are against the wall. Extreme measures are necessary to ensure our survival."
- — Rebecca[1]
Rebecca is a UNSC "smart" AI and the shipboard artificial intelligence of the UNSC Red Horse, an ONI prowler.[2]
Background
Mission to Soell
- Main article: Skirmish on Mona Lisa
In October 2552, Rebecca was commissioned by the Office of Naval Intelligence to monitor the Red Horse during a top-secret mission around the ruins of Installation 04. She replaced the Red Horse's former shipboard AI, Chauncey. As a Pelican full of marines was sent to investigate the prisoner transport Mona Lisa, Rebecca refused to give away any information on the ship's nature, even to Commander Tobias Foucault, saying "We have our orders, Commander."[3] After communications with the Marines aboard the Mona Lisa had been cut off, Rebecca insisted the Red Horse destroy the ship, again deferring to their orders.[4] Foucault was hesitant to do so, having grown increasingly frustrated about Rebecca's secrecy, but eventually gave the order after Rebecca showed him what had compromised the Mona Lisa: an alien parasite known as the Flood.[5]
Appearance
She is one of two known AIs to have an avatar with two different, interchangeable appearances. Her first appearance is described as "half-Athena, half-Ares" with a feathered Greek headdress and ancient armor.[2] She could change her appearance to a flabby, middle-aged Mediterranean woman in a flower dress.[6]
During the mission in Halo's debris field, Commander Foucault insisted that Rebecca use her "warrior" avatar, viewing it as disrespectful of her to appear on the bridge as a "dumpy Italian woman" due to his rigorous sense of decorum, though he also disliked her other appearance because it would cause him to underestimate her.[4]
Trivia
Though she alternates between two appearances in the Halo: Evolutions story, she is only seen using her "warrior" avatar in the motion comic adaptation of The Mona Lisa, likely to avoid confusion.
