Ascendant Justice's AI
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
- "Sneaky little bastard."
- — Cortana, of the AI
There was an unnamed Covenant AI Associated Intelligence construct used by the Covenant which was stationed on the Covenant flagship Ascendant Justice[1] however it never identified itself with a name. When Cortana infiltrated the Ascendant Justice the Covenant AI tried to stop her, but it was mostly unsuccessful as she eventually caught it and decompiled it. The Covenant AI hated that Cortana was able to improve upon Covenant technology, believing it to be heresy,[2] and managed to send a message over the Battlenet before it was caught, both warning of the capture of the ship and sending the calculations for a sub-atmospheric Slipspace jump.[3]
The AI demonstrated "fractured" thinking, as though it were suffering from the errors of being copied extensively. Cortana also stated that its algorithms looked very familiar leading Cortana to the possibility that a human-made UNSC AI had been captured and copied.[4]
