Controlling the ''Pillar of Autumn'' 's defenses, Cortana destroys three Covenant targets over [[Installation 04]] before the ship's weapons are disabled. Under the Cole Protocol, Captain Keyes, the Autumn's commanding officer, prepares to abandon ship. Since the protocol mandates the evacuation of any AI constructs, the Master Chief is charged with safeguarding Cortana from the Covenant. When the Master Chief arrives on Halo, Cortana helms the communications channels and helps to direct Foehammer, a dropship pilot, to human survivors scattered across the ring, and assists the Master Chief in the rescue of Captain Keyes from the Covenant ship Truth and Reconciliation. | Controlling the ''Pillar of Autumn'' 's defenses, Cortana destroys three Covenant targets over [[Installation 04]] before the ship's weapons are disabled.
