John-117/Relationships: Difference between revisions

Line 44:

After being made aware of her potential survival the Chief again disobeyed an order to return to the UNSC and sought to investigate the situation himself. After witnessing firsthand the terrible aftermath of Cortana's awakening of the Guardians, he refrained from making any premature conclusions about her involvement until reestablishing contact with the AI. However once arriving at the Forerunner world of [[Genesis]] and having several evasive conversations with her, the Master Chief grew suspicious of Cortana's motives, to the point of having to verbally call her out on attempting to use their past friendship as a means to manipulate him. When Cortana eventually divulged her plans to use the Guardians as a forceful instrument against those who will oppose her rule, John made one final attempt to talk her into standing down peacefully and return home. His efforts proved unsuccessful, and he was forcibly locked into a Cryptum along with the rest of Blue Team by Cortana; ultimately being rescued by [[Fireteam Osiris]] shortly after.

In the Infinite audio logs, when the mission to eventually trap Cortana and secure her transportation back to the Infinity for deletion was discussed, John had his reservations about the end goal of destroying someone he considered so important to him. That said, when Dr. Halsey floated the idea that Spartan Locke was more suited for the task, he affirmably disagreed with that need. This may perhaps be due to John's guilt about failing to keep Cortana from becoming a threat to the galaxy, thus wanting to be the one to end her, not a stranger.
