Dr. Catherine Halsey's Computer is a marketing website for the Halo: The Television Series Season One. The site is framed as Doctor Catherine Halsey's computer, and contains information on characters well as planets in the series.[1] ContentsOverview[edit]Site opening[edit]The site opens with the words "Connecting", and "Welcome, Dr. Halsey", before showing the "GOLSTENT TOUCH PAD V15" and having six symbols being entered into it. Main content[edit]The site is framed as Doctor Catherine Halsey's computer, and contains information on characters well as planets in the series. Videos[edit]The site also contained a touchpad where if a reader entered the correct password a video was shown.

Bypassed FLEETCOM security firewall. Secure datalink with Master Chief provided by CORTANA bypass.Makee
Subject recovered on Eridanus II, claiming to have escaped from Covenant captivity and made use of an insertion pod to reach the surface. She has demonstrated extensive familiarity with the artifacts recovered to date, but claims to have no information of strategic significance about the Covenant. Mechanism by which the subject is connected to the Madrigal artifact and Master Chief is unknown. Ma’am, I want to confirm that we are blinding the medical diagnostic results about this “Makee’s” cybernetic weapon implant. The device appears to be an extraordinarily compact plasma generator; analysis may prove useful in our own work. - ASVinsher Grath

Kwan Ha
Before his disappearance, Governor Vinsher confirmed Kwan Ha was present on Madrigal, and was moving to neutralize her. Destruction of Ha-family surface site and skypipe is assessed to be a result of possible sabotage by Kwan Ha, given her knowledge of the facility and its safety measures. Reassessment of threat level is recommended.Cortana
Makee
Vinsher Grath
Status is unconfirmed, but uncontrolled activity by business and political affiliates indicates high probability that Governor Vinsher has been eliminated, incarcerated, or otherwise removed from direct involvement in Madrigal affairs. Last known activity was a movement with personal guards to Ha-family deuterium extraction outpost. The facility was destroyed shortly after he was scheduled to arrive. ONI local assets are en-route to the site for independent damage assessment.Week 8 content[edit]Video[edit]Persons of Interest[edit]John-117
Reaction conditioning failure is imminent. High probability of negative response to implementation of Zed Protocol. Recommend disabling through Cortana neural bridge and temporary containment in cryostasis until arrival at fallback staging area.Riz-028
Zed Protocol initiated. Reaction conditioning is within acceptable parameters. C2I2 links re-routed and sanitized. Directed to recover artifact, S-117, and Makee for transit off Reach. Secondary directive to disable S-125 and render her tactically ineffective.Kai-125

Activity pattern is indicative of alertness but only superficial actions have been taken to impede our work. It is highly probable he suspects our relocation and evasion efforts, but has no knowledge of the plan to secure the artifact and its enablers.

The Admiral’s activities and monitoring priorities indicate she is not aware of our activities and plans. Disabling or eliminating Parangosky is outside the scope of our initial implementation of Zed Protocol overrides.Soren-066

Kwan Ha
Before his disappearance, Governor Vinsher confirmed Kwan Ha was present on Madrigal, and was moving to neutralize her. Destruction of Ha-family surface site and skypipe is assessed to be a result of possible sabotage by Kwan Ha, given her knowledge of the facility and its safety measures. Reassessment of threat level is recommended.Cortana
Cortana has been briefed on the extraction plan, and provided with the secondary and tertiary Zed Protocol reaction conditioning flags. Neural bridge connection is steady and ready for shutdown order. All connections are green. No notable SPDR counter-intrusion activity detected on the FLEETCOM network.Makee
Contact made with Makee, but persuasion results are inconclusive. Current plan of record is incapacitation and placement in cryostasis for detailed observation and experimentation. The orders to S-134 and S-028 are clear: incapacitate first, then prevent all contact between S-117, Makee, and the artifact. - ASVinsher Grath

Reach
Madrigal
The Rubble
High Charity
Mamore
Priority settlement target for second-wave exosolar development after development of the slipspace drive, drawing on volunteers from Jovian habitat clusters. Adaptation of terrestrial organisms proceeded well ahead of schedule, including test settlement of cetacean pods. Mamore was a collection and processing point for populations displaced during counter-Insurrection campaigns of Operation: TREBUCHET and evacuations from Sector One and Sector Two during initial Covenant incursion, leading to rapid expansion of arcology centers and orbital infrastructure. Anti-UEG sentiment has been a notable element of Mamore since establishment; the native “Freedom and Liberation Party” umbrella group has claimed responsibility for the Haven arcology bombing that killed two million citizens, among other crimes. UNSC peacekeeping operations and targeted Spartan strikes have significantly degraded rebel activity and influence in the arcology centers. An active and aggressive Insurrection presence is still present in ungoverned outer regions.Eridanus II
Production notes[edit]When the site was first launched, the image used for the Earth tab was an image of the planet Reach, shown below. This was corrected a short time after launch, and replaced with an image of Earth first created for use in Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo.
