Talk:Unnamed Covenant AI (Truth and Reconciliation)



It states in the article, that unknown construct is a Covenant design. I'm fairly sure it was originally Forerunner. It seems that it was charged with indexing the Covenant or at least 1 of the Covenant races. But may have become Rampant somewhere along the way, this is also hinted at in other cut-scenes featuring 343. What is clear is some of his speech directly correlates with the Covenant religion regarding "The Great Journey" and may have been the origin of the discrepancies and confusion. It appears this is a deliberate deception on it's part, it wants the Covenant to go on their great journey so he can be free. It is likely that this entity has interacted with the San'Shyuum at some point in history. But what form that meeting took is uncertain.

Although Unknown construct refers to 343 as Oracle, he does not seem to acknowlege him as his superior like you would imagine an AI constructed by the Covenant would. The San'Shyuum also for all their religeous preaching do not show 343 much respect and refer to him as an oracle as if they have encountered others before, or at least have knowledge of them. It is possible that Unknown Construct is the 1st Forerunner AI encountered by the Covenant and from him comes all their knowlege and philosophy regarding what has gone before. He is not an Oracle that is certain, but he could perhaps be the AI from a Forerunner ship.
