UNSC Spirit of Fire AI Construct

 

Serina was an artificial intelligence (AI) construct that was assigned to the UNSC Spirit of Fire, a modified Phoenix-class Colony Ship.

Description

Little is known about Serina other than the fact that she acts as a Military Advisory AI, which may or may not be her only function.[1] She is a smart AI,[2], which is usually a sign of advanced memory capacity, like Cortana. In contrast, other AI's known throughout the Halo Canon exhibit only minor aspects of personality. Her avatar is a young female with long hair, and her attire resembles a lab coat. She appears to speak in a generic, or Received Pronunciation, British accent. She seems to have a caring personality,[3] and she has a fascination with human relationships.[4] She often acts sarcastic, and on the outside, she seems not to care about anyone.

As the Spirit of Fire was too far away from UNSC territory and traveling without a Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine, it is unlikely that Serina was deleted.

Quotes

  • "Recalling surface squads so we can all die together. Aye, sir!"[5]
  • "Well, this is new...and scary." (Upon seeing the Flood)[1]
  • "The MAC is online and primed. Payback time!"[1]
  • "Expecting trouble, Captain?"
  • "Standard orbit achieved, all systems normal."
  • "So...nothing too difficult, then?"
  • "Here are some reinforcements, play nice."
  • "So...we left a note saying we're leaving, right?"
  • "Well, it'll be pretty obvious if he succeeds."
  • "Aye sir. Crazy mystery trip to Arcadia plotted in, spinning up FTL drive."
  • "Threading a needle while accelerating around an exploding star inside a planet that's falling apart? Sure, why not?"
  • "So...am I the only one freaked out by the fact that we're inside the planet?"
  • "Closing your eyes might help, too."
  • "Captain, wake up. Something has happened."

Trivia

  • Serina seems to have a theoretical interest in chocolate.
  • "Spinning up FTL drive" may be a reference to the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, which uses this phrase frequently when the Fleet jumps.
  • Serina, knowing the crew of the Spirit of Fire may be on a one-way trip, manufactured and delivered fake emails from family members to the crew celebrating Valentine's Day. No one ever suspected her of this deception. [6]
  • She has a very sarcastic and detached nature. She frequently seems to disregard the lives of others, even her own ship's crew - such as when the Spirit of Fire is slowly being pulled inside the Shield World - almost always responding to their peril with some curious remark or dark joke.
  • She was voiced by Courtenay Taylor.
  • Her name "Serina" means "Serine", "Calm".
  • Serina's only human memory is "kissing a boy".
  • After completing the game on Legendary, Serina will say "Captain, wake up; something has happened." After that, she will repeat that quote if the last level is completed.
