When the operation was cancelled due to the surprise assault on Reach, she and her new partner, [[John-117]], were left to flee the burning planet to a randomized set of coordinates per the [[Cole Protocol]]. John-117 thought the coordinates were strangely familiar; Cortana scanned them and found out that the coordinates matched the symbols on a rock found on [[Sigma Octanus IV]] and the [[Covenant]] ship John-117 had boarded in [[2525]]. After emerging out of slipspace, they discovered a ring shaped world which was promptly named "[[Installation 04|Halo]]". However, Covenant ships followed, and began an assault. Controlling the [[Pillar of Autumn]]'s defenses, Cortana destroyed four [[Covenant]] targets over [[Installation 04]] before the ship's weapons were disabled. Under the [[Cole Protocol]], [[Captain Jacob Keyes]], the [[Pillar of Autumn]]'s commanding officer, prepared to abandon ship. Since the protocol forbids the capture or destruction of any A.I. construct, the [[Master Chief]] was charged with protecting Cortana from the Covenant. When the Master Chief arrived on Halo, Cortana helms the communications channels and helped to direct [[Foehammer]], a dropship pilot, to [[human]] survivors scattered across the ring and assisted the Master Chief in the rescue of [[Captain Keyes]] from the [[Covenant]] ship [[Truth and Reconciliation]].

Inserted into Halo's [[Control Room]], Cortana looked for a way to activate Halo to use as a weapon against the Covenant, but became visibly agitated and sent the Master Chief to find [[Captain Keyes]]. Cortana stayed in Halo's computer core as the Master Chief encountered the parasitic [[Flood]] and was conscripted by the [[Forerunner]] construct [[343 Guilty Spark]] to activate Halo's defenses.

===First Battle of Earth===
Cortana returns to Earth, where she is on the [[Earth]] defense platform [[Cairo]], at an awards ceremony for the survivors of the first Halo ring. When a [[Covenant Fleet]] arrives, Cortana takes control of the Cairo's [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] (or MAC) to repel the invaders, and successfully deactivates a bomb that would have destroyed the station. The same bomb is used by Spartan-117 to destroy a Covenant [[Assualt Carrier]].
