*Carrying sensitive data, such as intelligence.

The other had this data omitted, in that if the complete report were to be found, [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery J. Johnson]] could be killed and dissected by [[ONI]], because of his being afflicted with the disease). | *Carrying sensitive data, such as intelligence.

The Data Crystal Chip was seen extensively throughout ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', as the [[Master Chief]] uses a data port on the back of his helmet ferry Cortana between his armor and other computer systems. However, it is not seen or mentioned at any point during ''[[Halo 2]]''. The Master Chief is instead seen directly downloading Cortana via physical contact with his new armor. | The Data Crystal Chip was seen extensively throughout ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', as the [[Master Chief]] uses a data port on the back of his helmet ferry Cortana between his armor and other computer systems.

In ''[[Halo 3]]'', the Data Crystal Chip is seen once again. However, unlike the transfer in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', which required physical contact with a system, an AI can now "jump" from chip to system and back, in addition to the physical transfer. This can most noticeably be seen on [[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]], the final level of the ''Halo 3'' [[campaign]]. A possible reason for this is that the the Data Crystal Chip was upgraded along with the Master Chief's new [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]]. | In ''[[Halo 3]]'', the Data Crystal Chip is seen once again.
