Cortana & Master Chiefs Relationship

Should 343 Industries develop more into Cortana’s and the MC relationship in the future games.
Me personally I think 343 should create a future halo game about MC and Cortana’s offspring … as in child as the main character of the new story line but make still in the halo universe so since Cortana is in the domain and now have a physical form she could take some of MC DNA and combine it with her physical form data to create an half breed of AI and human… Well that’s what I find interesting to have in the future games and books …
Please list what you think about this subject of thought and thank you for reading.

Master Chief and Cortana’s relationship was already fairly well-developed before she died in Halo 4 only to be resurrected and ultimately turned into a toxic one-sided deal in Halo 5 where Cortana seems to care more about the idea of protecting Chief rather than acknowledging what he wants and merely seeing her killing of innocents as a disagreement. I’d have to say I’m firmly against Chief and Cortana having children, that just reeks of bad fan-fiction. I’ve never got the idea that these two are in love. They are very close, I mean Cortana was in Chief’s head. But even if they did share love, can you really see things going back to normal and them becoming romantic after she murdered innocent people, tried imprisoning him, and threatens death to anyone who opposes her?

There are just //so many// things wrong with what you said…but let me see if I get the gist of this:

You want a story where the Master Chief’s obsessive, abusive, stalker-mom-AI creates some sort of inhuman abomination from his DNA without his consent?

…simply put, that is quite possibly one of the worst ideas I’ve ever heard in my life.

Sorry, Cobra, but I gotta pick on you for this simply because it really bugs me to see people misrepresent how Cortana interacted with the Chief through his armor. Cortana could connect to the Chief’s neural implants through MJOLNIR’s systems to boost the armor’s output in tandem with his reflexes, conduct calculations and interpret tactical data, and read his biosigns. But they never directly shared thoughts or emotions, let alone physical experiences. In fact there is even a system in place that limits what Cortana has access to so she can’t ever take total control. This is all in ‘Fall of Reach’. So while working with an AI is definitely, as the Chief himself put it, “unique” - it is hardly the type of “cosmic bond” //fans// have built it up to be.

Even ignoring Halo 5, that sounds like awful fan fiction.

Cool Guys thanks for your comment I am really happy that it got noticed and somebody actually responded to my idea also thankyou for your opinion in this matter this matter has been in my head for a while thank you

also if not with Cortana who do you guys think the MC should have a child with and also should he have a offspring at all these comments you guys have typed have really interest me

How about… No. Why does the Chief need to have a child just for the sake of having a child? What narrative purpose would this serve? Why does the Chief need to have some sort of romantic relationship with a character besides just cause?

Again, this should awfully like bad fan fiction as opposed to a compelling narrative.

That’s pretty judge-y, especially coming from a person who, let’s say, played a key role in a morally questionable spartan program.

I don’t really think John can even HAVE children. But that aside, John isn’t a normal human. He has been bred, since he was six, to be a killing machine. All he knows how to do is kill the enemy and protect the UNSC. It would be weird, uncomfortable, and uneccesary for him to become a family man. Have you ever seen the (awesome) 1997 Sci-Fi movie Soldier, starring Kurt Russell? In it, he tries to adjust to civilian life, but fails at it. He is visibly uncomfortable and the only time he appears comfortable is when he is killing the bad guy soldiers. That is how I feel John would act in civilian life.

If you want them to have kids then Halsey can put her in the Halsey clones that Halsey made. it says it in the journal of Dr. Halsey.

Or how about cutting out the middle-man and just have Dr. Halsey screw the Chief herself? Because there really is no difference seeing as how Cortana is just her virtual clone.

Seriously, the fact that people try to ignore this just makes my skin crawl…

It’s still true though. Did Cortana not kill people? Did she not imprison Chief and Blue Team? Did she not threaten death on those who oppose her? Halsey doing bad things doesn’t make what Cortana did any less heinous.

No… just no…IF master chief were to have a relationship… it SHOULD be with either Kelly, Linda, his childhood reporter friend, or that 1 marine female that used to know him and in that order.

Now if cortona had magical gotten a human body at the end of halo 4 after her emotional death via magical vampire space fairy’s then MAYBE it would have been plausible. But that didn’t happen. Now she’s a psychopath. albeit a psychopath with “good” intentions (Breaking Bad anyone?). So any chance of a romantic relationship is kittens without serious plot ignorance, magical vampire space fairy hand-wave, or straige up rewrites.

Now your theory is refreshingly new, and very very weird. Could you please explain how Cortona in a hard-light body could get the DNA for starters and Use the DNA to MAKE a hard-light copy in her and john’s image. The BEST thing she could do is use a brain scan of Halsey’s brain and Chief’s brain and create a AI… or if technology progresses she MIGHT even be able to put a AI “imprint” onto a baby or something. But their is no way Cortona could make a hard-light “Something” with human DNA. It’s like trying to make me and a computer put our “traits” onto a metal wall and cause it to become alive.

Although as i said before it’s nice to see a new theory. Keep theorizing… We need to brains on this crap for good or ill.

Hm, a game studying domestic violence… interesting.

Why are so many people obsessed with the relationship between Chief and Cortana? There’s not really much. They worked together for a while, became friends, Cortana died, and Chief got sad. Then Cortana is somehow alive and Chief is irritated with what she’s doing.

Update MC & Cortana’s Relationship

To put my idea in new form scrap the relationship between them both. Now since john 117 is the luckiest Spartan and seems more of an bad -Yoink-( since he is the main character in the game and he has more history then the others ). Cortana should steal some DNA from him and create not a son but instead a clone with the Ai traits to hunt down and kill john 177 if he can not be … turn over to her side for example
So anyway this clone of john 117 has his luck and his physical traits as well as the Ai trait Cortana has put into him.

So what I am trying to get at john 117 does not have a child with anyone but instead Cortana creates a clone to fight him or who ever in halo 6 while her Guardians take control of the galaxy please list your opinions and ideas on this new subject of thought

Yeah, I think we can all agree that committing mass-murder is pretty reprehensible.

I just find it interesting how Cortana, who was created from Dr. Halsey’s cloned brain, justfies her actions as necessary for the ‘greater good’ in much the same way Halsey does, or at least did, for the S-II project. But in H5, neither Halsey or Cortana can accept the others motivations, which are both, supposedly, to serve the greater good of humanity; Consequently calling one another “monster” and “threat”.

To me, it seems like they’re swimming in their own hypocrisy.

That’s if you see their actions as 1:1 the same. They aren’t. Halsey’s actions, though ethically and morally wrong, are still small in scale. It’s like comparing Mengele and -Yoink!-, as cliche as -Yoink!- comparisons go. Mengele was a monster, but he was still a cog in the massive murderous machine -Yoink!- was running. You remove Mengele, that’s great, but you still have -Yoink!-. Remove -Yoink!-, then you have an organization that may crumble as a whole. Likewise, Halsey was a cog while Cortana is an authority all to herself.

It’s easy to just say they are both hypocrites for doing bad things and not seeing withers point. However, it’s important to note that an act of mass murder by rebels that killed and maimed millions is what caused Halsey to make the S-IIs, Cortana just seems that as something disagreeable when she does it.

Yeah, well, I guess you made a pretty good point (even if you had to use a worn-out -Yoink!- comparison to get it across).

I still think an individual who willingly experiments on kids, whether to advance their academic career or fight insurgents (or freedom fighters, depending on your perspective), has little to no moral high ground to critize anyone. Even -Yoink!-. But I digress …
