While this is likely to be an oversight, it is possible that Deep Winter's nature as a fifth-generation smart AI, or some other, unspecified factor, allowed it to survive six years past the normal lifespan of a smart AI.}} | ||
Deep Winter was known to be very talkative. He seemed to enjoy the company of [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Kurt Ambrose]], [[Senior Chief Petty Officer|SCPO]] [[Franklin Mendez]] and the [[SPARTAN-III Program|Spartan-IIIs]] at [[Camp Currahee]]. Deep Winter also showed great concern for the young [[SPARTAN Program|Spartans]] and often acted in what he thought to be their best interest, even when not ordered to do so. He monitored the progress and actions of the [[SPARTAN-III Beta Company|Beta Company]] Spartans even after they graduated and then monitored the progress of the [[SPARTAN-III Gamma Company|Gamma Company]] Spartans as well. Deep Winter and Endless Summer were said to be roundabout opposites to themselves in both personalities and mannerisms, considering the adjacent seasons in the real world, both Summer ''and'' Winter. | Deep Winter was known to be very talkative.
