The '''terminals''' in ''[[Halo 3]]'' are [[Forerunner]] [[terminal]]s that provide insight into the history of the Forerunners, primarily the [[Forerunner-Flood war]]. The terminals are a continuation of the ''[[Iris]]'' alternate reality game used as viral marketing for ''Halo 3''. They clarify a great deal of the ''Iris'' story line by naming the authors of different messages and by explaining the circumstances of the [[Great Purification|original firing]] of the [[Halo Array]]. The terminals follow the stories of the [[Librarian]] and the [[IsoDidact|Didact]], Forerunner logs of [[Flood]] attacks, and [[Mendicant Bias]]' progression into [[rampancy]]. | The '''terminals''' in ''[[Halo 3]]'' are [[Forerunner]] [[terminal]]s that provide insight into the history of the Forerunners, primarily the [[Forerunner-Flood war]].

The Cortana terminal is an [[Easter egg]] located in the basement room of the [[Halo 3 skulls#Tilt|Tilt Skull]]'s location, where the [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]] is found. This Terminal does not count towards the ''Marathon Man'' achievement but instead plays a secret Cortana moment. This terminal references a scene in ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'' where [[John-117]] unwittingly ensures his conscription into the [[SPARTAN-II program]] by correctly guessing several coin tosses in a row. Audio of [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Halsey]] enticing him to play Heads or Tails with her can be heard as the player approaches the terminal's location. | The Cortana terminal is an [[Easter egg]] located in the basement room of the [[Halo 3 skulls#Tilt|Tilt Skull]]'s location, where the [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]] is found.
