- "This exceeds expectations."
- — Auntie Dot
Auntie Dot (UNSC Artificial Intelligence serial number: ADT 6849-9) was a UNSC "dumb" AI active in 2552.[1][2] Specializing in operative military intelligence, she served as intelligent support and liaison between Colonel Urban Holland and Noble Team.[2]
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. Characteristic of "dumb" military intelligence support AIs, Dot typically speaks in a calm, dry, articulate voice, displaying little emotion compared to AIs like Cortana.[2]
Operational history
Fall of Reach
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.[2]
