hologram;
[A hologram of a young woman, blue in tint with code flowing over her body appears. Her demeanor is chipper, if somewhat put out. She looks like she's in the mood for some answers.]
Well, I couldn't find my way into the network here. Guess I - oh. Wait one second.
[Beat. Her hologram pauses for just over a second.]
Huh. 'Scuse me, this'll take just a sec. [She pauses again, this time for a good six, seven seconds, then she looks back up.] Sorry about that! One of my pings came back with a weird result, and I had to download something from this network and read it. Some logs prominently featuring myself. Go figure.
So apparently, I've already been here! Don't remember any of the things I'm seeing here though. I've apparently just been pulled into a different dimension though, so I guess I should open my mind a bit.
Anyway. Introductions. Or...re-introductions, as the case appears to be. I am UNSC AI serial number CTN oh-four-five-two-dash nice. If that's too much of a mouthful, you can call me Cortana. All UNSC personnel, sound off. The rest of you...sorry if I'm giving you a bit of deja vu, here. I assure you, it's just as weird for me as it is for you.
[Another small pause.]
...boy, this place does not have a good track record with rampant AI, does it? What's going on there?
