The Package (data storage unit): Difference between revisions

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

("The Package" is Cortana. The cylindrical device containing her data crystal chip is just an armored matrix. Hence it's not a data storage unit at all, but a storage unit for a data storage unit. :))

'''The Package''' was the code name for a data storage unit used by [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] to store a fragment of the [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Cortana]]. During the [[Fall of Reach]], [[Noble Team]]'s final objective, and ultimately that of [[SPARTAN-B312]], was to get the Package, and the sensitive data it contained, off the planet on the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''[[The Package (level)|The Package]]''</ref>
 
The Package appeared to be a reinforced metal cylinder with a hollow section in the center, which contained a [[data crystal chip]]. The fragment of Cortana that was within the Package contained the "latchkey discovery" made by [[Laszlo Sorvad]] and the information decrypted from the [[Babd Catha Forerunner complex]]. Because Noble Six's [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V(B)|Mark V[B] armor]] lacked the [[SPARTAN neural interface|neural interface upgrades]] necessary to integrate an AI with the MJOLNIR's systems, Cortana must be carried via the Package.<ref>''''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]'''</ref>
 
==Trivia==
*In the level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]'', Noble Six hooks The Package to his/her back armor, much like an [[Armor Abilities|armor ability]].
