As the Spirit of Fire was too far away from UNSC territory and traveling without a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]], it is unlikely that Serina was deleted.

Serina was an artificial intelligence (AI) construct that was assigned to the UNSC Spirit of Fire, a modified Phoenix-class Colony Ship.

Description

Little is known about Serina other than the fact that she acts as a Military Advisory AI, which may or may not be her only function.[1] She is a smart AI,[2], which is usually a sign of advanced memory capacity, like Cortana. In contrast, other AI's known throughout the Halo Canon exhibit only minor aspects of personality. Her avatar is a young female with long hair, and her attire resembles a lab coat. She appears to speak in a generic, or Received Pronunciation, British accent. She seems to have a caring personality,[3] and she has a fascination with human relationships.[4] She often acts sarcastic, and on the outside, she seems not to care about anyone.

As the Spirit of Fire was too far away from UNSC territory and traveling without a Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine, it is unlikely that Serina was deleted.
