- — Auntie Dot
Auntie Dot was a UNSC Artificial Intelligence construct at the time of the Fall of Reach.[1][2] She monitored and assisted Noble Team during the battle, and kept the team's members connected while they were embarking on separate missions. She observed the team through security cameras and satellites over Reach, but her actual 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.
Rather than personifying herself in the form of a humanoid avatar, Dot's personal representation is a grid of glowing, constantly changing blue lights.
Auntie Dot typically speaks in a calm, dry, articulate voice, displaying little emotion compared to AIs like Cortana. As such, she may be classified as a "Dumb" AI.
Trivia
- She was voiced by Carole Ruggler.[3]
- Auntie Dot's voice is usable in Halo: Reach's Firefight mode.[1]
- Auntie Dot has a humorous twitter account.[4] However, it does not appear to be officially sanctioned nor sponsored by Bungie or Microsoft.
- Auntie Dot's grid is displayed as Halo: Reach's loading screen.
- One of Auntie Dot's loading screen images could be a reference to the Superintendent AI, as it appears to be a circle-like shape with two eyes in the center.
- Dot's grid accompanies the credits sequence to Reach, and at the very end, just before it fades completely into darkness, it displays a Seven.
