| :::Melissa was the original AI. When the artifact was activated, she broke up into three parts, which have been termed the Operator (or the Queen), the Sleeping Princess, and Durga. The Operator is Melissa's nickname, but when I use it I specifically refer to the fragment on the ilovebees site. Melissa was corrupted by the Seeker and encouraged McKaskill to do stuff with the artifact, leading to the initial activation. However, as the Seeker was sent back in time with the other fragments, I don't believe Durga suffered from its influence. The Chawla Base mission was definitely for the purpose of deactivating the countdown, and whether or not the Seeker motivated it is fairly irrelevant to the case of the artifact's potential danger as it was implied that the artifact could activate the Halo. While certainly the Covenant is a cause for concern, the Forerunner danger was quite legitimate.

| :::As for the issue of canon, ILB is kind of grey. At one point, Bungie said that the makers of ILB pretty much did their own thing and not to consider it Bungie canon. Later, however, [[Frankie]] said that they were embracing ILB stuff as canon. The depth of this is not known, although the Herzog and Standish characters are referred to in the graphic novel. Alternatively, there is some stuff about Shaw and Fujikawa that was mentioned in ILB that has since been contradicted in Contact Harvest. My stance is to consider ILB canon until directly contradicted elsewhere. --<b>[[User:Dragonclaws|<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c</font>laws</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Dragonclaws|<font color="#4D56B1">talk</font>]])</sup></b> 08:41, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
