oh yeah I should mention there(were) are 2 other ais(Cortana and Auntie Dot), so even if one ai fell the other 2 could trigger the destruction sequence
And as for Cortana…she’s a Smart AI(an Ai directly cloned off a human brain, Cathrine Halsey to be specific), which means most if not all regular forms of hacking are gonna be halted and maybe turned against(keep in mind Cortana is highly intelligent) them
Auntie Dot is basically ChatGPT except it’s in charge of military forces and functions independently
343 guilty spark is technically a forerunner monitor team earth salvaged from the ruins of installation 04(in this timeline he hadn’t escaped), then they convinced him to leave it all behind
And the firewall itself? State of the art(at the time of before team earth being disbanded), requiring advanced, living biometric tissue technology to access even base systems, which means even if they did board, they’re basically locked out if they don’t use explosive charges
I never actually wrote any lore on the team earth capital ship(it’s called the Retribution in Infinite Warfare) until now, so I might make a whole essay detailing every in and out, as well as map the whole ship
