so, I've wondered for a long time about the final lines in halo 3 "wake me, when you need me". I'm wondering if this is either a) the almost stereotypical legendary hero who will reappear miraculously to fight in times of crisis blah blah blah (aside from the fact he's lost in space) or b. is he asking cortana to wake him before she dies? or "wake me, when YOU need me"
Basically my question is this, there have been a lot of AIs in the halo universe and it's generally understood that human AI's live.. what is it? 9 years? something like that, before they "think themselves to death". On the other hand, Cortana has been exposed to a huge amount of forerunner tech, and its pretty obvious that forerunner AI can live for 100,000 as seen from the terminals in Halo 3. I havn't read the novels (I hate reading books, even good ones) but I love wasting time reading the sumaries of them.. in fact I've done it enough that I probably should just read the books, but regardless, anyone informed enough about the halo universe to answer this?
