Deep Ocean

 

Product of Forerunner tech
Deep Ocean is a fourth-generation smart AI. It is not known at this time exactly how long her life expectancy is, due to only recent recovery and reverse engineering of Forerunner technology, but it is much longer than most AIs.

She was created around the core of a Forerunner AI and bolstered by programming from an older AI, Cortana. There is much that is unknown about how she will function. It has been seen that her personality is developing slower than most conventional AI, but her skills are more mutable, and prone to evolution.

This is held as evidence as to her appearance, which does not seem to have no set definition. It distorts constantly, but keeps a general female shape, and her color does not seem to follow emotion, like most AI.

Primary Function: Infiltration and Espionage
Deep Ocean primary function is the infiltration of databases. Her core programming for this is largely based off the Cortana model, with some new tools thrown in and some minor tweaks to core logic to improve efficiency.

Using these skills, Deep Ocean managed to discover much about the Graviton Cannon, a superweapon created by the Covenant.

Secondary Function: Battle Coordination
As Deep Ocean is assigned to Wings-D339, the XO of Spartan-III Delta Company, she has been programmed with logic used for battle coordination. She can almost instantly map ally and enemy positions and show likely routes and actions they will take.

Deep can also manipulate splispace, which come in to great effect here. Stationed on a station with an incredibly powerful power plant, she can open and close slipspace holes for ships engaged in battle that need to maneuver to a new position fast. This saves the commanders the trouble of charging their slipspace drives and plotting a carefully thought out course around the nearby planet or other gravitational body.
