"We're at war, Commander. Reach has fallen. Our backs are against the wall. Extreme measures are necessary to ensure our survival."
— Rebecca [1]

Rebecca is a UNSC "smart" AI and the shipboard artificial intelligence of the UNSC Red Horse, an ONI prowler.[2]

Background

Rebecca was commissioned by the Office of Naval Intelligence to monitor the Red Horse during a top-secret mission around the ruins of Installation 04. She replaced the Red Horse's former shipboard AI, Chauncey. As a Pelican full of troops was sent to investigate the prisoner transport Mona Lisa, Rebecca refused to give away any information, even to Commander Tobias Foucault, saying "We have our orders, Commander."[3] After communications with the Marines aboard the Mona Lisa had been cut off, Rebecca insisted the Red Horse destroy the ship, again deferring to their orders.[4] Foucault was hesitant to do so, having grown increasingly frustrated about Rebecca's secrecy, but eventually gave the order after Rebecca showed him what had compromised the Mona Lisa; an alien parasite known as the Flood.[5]

Appearance

She is one of two known AIs to have an avatar with two different, interchangeable appearances. Her first appearance is described as "half-Athena, half-Ares" with a feathered Greek headdress and ancient armor.[2] She could change her appearance to a flabby, middle-aged Mediterranean woman in a flower dress.[6]
