===Fateful Meeting===
===Fateful Meeting===
Cortana first met the Master Chief prior to the [[Battle of Reach]], when she was integrated into his new [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor#MJOLNIR Mark V|MJOLNIR Mark V armor]]. Together, Cortana and the Chief passed a test that was devised (Dr. Halsey would have called it "''sabotaged''") by [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]]. The test included armed [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]], [[LOTUS Anti-Tank Mine|anti-tank mines]], automatic turrets in the razor field, and even a [[SkyHawk]] for an air strike. After the test, Cortana was installed into the ''Pillar of Autumn'' to run the ship's shakedown and oversee the refit. Afterwards it was planned that she would be replaced with the ''Pillar of Autumn's'' true AI, but she was forced to take up this duty herself ultimately. While aboard, she took her revenge on Colonel Ackerson by hacking into his system and blackmailing him, hoping that this would send him back to the front lines. She also developed a deep personal loyalty to John-117 that would only grow stronger over their adventures together.

Cortana's primary mission was to aid the [[SPARTAN-II|SPARTANs]] in the infiltration of a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] vessel and the capturing of a Covenant [[Prophet]]. The UNSC would then try to bargain with the Covenant for a peace treaty.
