1. What happens when Infinity runs out of fuel and can't slipspace any more 2. My friend told me AI have a built in killswitch. If this is true why can't they use it on Cortona?

  • 1. Infinity doesn't use fuel in the traditional sense. It uses a fusion reactor. 2. They do not. There are some failsafes put in their design (See: Undid Iridium), but a kill switch? No. Because Cortana was the first AI created from a living brain, Halsey did implement a failsafe in case something went wrong. However, Cortana at the moment of her creation, detected the failsafe worm and destroyed it.

  • Ok so in the current lore is there any way to stop her? Also, who "created" the mantle, if that is the appropriate term.

  • Burn her from the Domain. Though there's no clear way to do that. The Precursors created it.

  • The "Mantle" is more of an ideology than a tangible construct correct?

  • Ok then. Didn't the precursor intend for humans to take it? I might be wrong but I saw someone else say that they meant it for the humans.

  • The Precursors meant to test humans next. After the Created Reclamation though, I don't think humanity will want anything to do with the Mantle.

  • Probably, but just imagine the power the UNSC would hold if they were in control of the mantle. Thanks for doing this by the way. I appreciate people like you taking time out of your day to answer people's questions.
