Wow!! 343 Industries could use your ideas...but still I wish the original Cortana will be recovered. She told Masterchief that most of her got left in the Didact ship & that she only gathered enough to teleport Masterchief out. She only said she will not be coming back with John-117. She knows the meaning of death. She may be artificially created but she evolved beyond just being an AI.She's showing signs of life & fear of death. She was sad because they will be separated permanently...

Cortana definitely gives contrast to the somewhat stoic personality,fairly common to lone warrior types. She has been a very important character in MasterChief's life. Maybe somehow the parts of Cortana that may have been trapped or left will be reintegrated via the new Cortana AI that will possibly be partnered with John 117. Maybe Dr.Halsey will put a sub routine in the new Cortana to gather parts of Cortana. From what I have gathered,Dr.Halsey observed that Cortana is unusual in such a way that she thinks she may go beyond the 7 year lifespan of AI's. Dr. Halsey May even be instrumental to possible evolution of Cortana further into another lifeform having the knowledge & abilities of the Cortana we know & love plus possibly having a new body. The Didact was able to detect that Cortana was an evolved ancilla.Her return should not be so sudden or too early in the story but I hope the circumstances that 343 Industries will be able to device for the beloved Cortana's return would be earthshaking.I also hope that out of shear desperation to save an important part of his Life, Masterchief will somehow go out of his way to Rescue/recover Cortana,He made a promise to her remember? Will 343 let Masterchief break his promise?
