(You have been active for eons to make sure that the Things you were meant to keep locked stay like that, but someone break into your containment outpost and took you with them; You're a Forerunner AI, built and programmed to manage a containment facility full with Flood samples. The aliens that captured you identified themselves as Covenant, a galactic empire of many different alien species that are very religious and speak about something called Great Journey. Many days passed where some Sangheilis asked you a lot of questions; but then the ship where you were kept got attacked by a group of super human soldiers known as Spartans, lead by the one the others called Master Chief; they took you with them to analyze you better, so now you're humans' property.)

Your digital eyes opened up to see your hands glitching a little; you have a body? No, it's just a projection, but how? You never had an avatar or anything similar, the humans must have done something to you.

By looking around you seem to be on an holographic table, then your attention is taken by some people on the background; They're gigantic, but maybe it's only because your stature is reduced by your holographic projection.

There was Master Chief, or John 117 and a woman with the name C. Halsey labeled on her white labcoat; they're looking at you before you hear a female voice calling you.

"Hello, Do you have a name?"

You look at the source of the voice and you see the Holographic projection of another AI, Her chosen avatar is a nude female human (albeit censored by geometric patterns over her body), roughly in her early twenties. She appears with purple/blue skin, shoulder length purple/blue hair cut shorter at the back, and blue symbols scrolling down her body.

She walked towards you when your form started to glitch a little, probably your system wasn't compatible with the Holographic table, and she noticed it.

"I'm Cortana and I'm here to ask you some questions."
