She was heavily damaged when a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Covenant Special Operations|Special Operations]] [[Naval boarding|boarding party]] attacked the ''Heart of Midlothian''. [[Huragok]] brought onboard separated Mo Ye from her core, leaving just a chunk of her connected, which was watching over a surgery. Unable to self-destruct, the AI told the only survivor on the ship, an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] [[Sergeant]] named [[Michael Baird]], to make his way to the control room and instigate an attraction coordinate. After Baird was severely hurt by a [[Sangheili]] wielding an [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy sword]], Mo Ye gave Baird a Waverly augmenter, used by the [[Insurrectionist]]s to fight [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartans-IIs]], which would keep him alive for one or two hours. Mo Ye couldn't help Baird to go on without being connected. Mo Ye was then reconnected by Baird, who was surrounded by Covenant, with the intention of "giving the Covenant the coordinates of [[Earth]]". Baird, aware that she couldn't destroy the ship with any human alive, punched the Sangheili commander as hard as he could, breaking his hand. Baird began to taunt the Sangheili until it recovered from the impact and beheaded Baird. Mo Ye started the countdown. While the boarding party left, Mo Ye and the Sangheili glanced at each other until she said "Just kidding. There's no need for countdown whatsoever." Mo Ye was destroyed when she put the ship into self-destruct, leaving nothing but the midnight of space.<ref name="evolutions">'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian]]"</ref>

==Production notes==
The author of ''[[Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian]]'' [[Frank O'Connor]] wanted to have an AI character with similar values of strength, devotion and dignity as [[Cortana]], with a similar theme around a legendary sword but with origins in an Asian culture. He consulted with his mother-in-law, a Chinese folk tales enthusiast, who suggested the story of  [[Wikipedia:Gan Jiang and Mo Ye|Mo Ye]], a swordsmith who sacrificed herself in order to successfully forge a sword that was named after her.<ref>Foreword to the compiled edition of [[Halo Warfleet]] and [[Halo Mythos]] in China (〈光环〉典藏全书) by [[Frank O'Connor]]</ref>

==Trivia==
*Her name is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Gan Jiang and Mo Ye|Mo Ye]], a swordsmith from a Chinese folk tale who sacrificed herself in order to successfully forge a sword that was also named after her. This may be a nod to both [[Cortana]] and [[marathongame:Durandal (AI)|Durandal]], one of the three major AIs from the [[Marathon|''Marathon'' trilogy]], as they are both named after folkloric swords.
*In the motion comic adaptation of ''Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian'', Mo Ye was voiced by [[Wikipedia:Mona Marshall|Mona Marshall]].<ref>''Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian'' motion comic, credits</ref>
