-:'''AI-CORTANA'''> I had a discussion with [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] about the similarities between a [[Spartan-II|Spartan]] and an AI.

 :'''AI-CORTANA'''> I agree to a point, but I feel, philosophically, that we have, tremendous advantages over the Spartans. The Spartans live a pared-down, difficult and often cruel existence. Their loyalty is bred into them, not chosen.

 ==Trivia==
-* It was never confirmed what gender Solipsil was.
+*Solipsil's gender has never been specified.
+*Solipsil's name is probably derived from the concept of [[wikipedia:Solipsism|solipsism]]; the philosophical notion that "My mind is the only thing that I know exists." Rather appropriate, given its nature as an AI.
