:I would assume Intrepid Eye being able to mimic neural impulses via the neural implant. We do know that Forerunner Ancillas are far more advanced then Human AIs (I dare say even Cortana) and it would not be hard for them to find a work around.

Having not read ''Last Light'' yet, I don't know enough about the situation to answer conclusively. But I do think we don't know if enough about Cortana's restrictions on controlling the armor itself that we can't conclusively say it's impossible for every AI, especially ones that are two Tech Tiers more advanced. Is the restriction a direct programming law or a hardware inability? Cortana's found creative ways around her own programming restrictions that Halsey's wrote, and there have been parts where she's taken brief control of part of John's suit systems like his shields to make an EMP or zap an infection form. There's also prior examples of more advanced beings doing big things with old hardware, such as Gravemind repurposing ''In Amber Clad'''s slipspace engine to get it precisely into ''High Charity''. For a human AI controlling Mjolinir might be indeed impossible, but for a Forerunner AI they have a lot more programming potential to work with.

The "replicating neural impulses" was just a guess, but there are indeed ways to mimic it even today, such as [[Wikipedia:Electroconvulsive therapy|electroconvulsive therapy]], which can make your limbs move involuntarily.
