Happy Birthday
Past: Even though Carolina is now in a coma, the Director continues to make another AI...Epsilon.
Present: Carolina loses her patience with the Reds and Blues, and Church is following suit.
Tropes
- Even Evil Has Standards: As a big a dick he is, the Director comments that making Alpha think Tex died in the last mission is going too far.
- Mythology Gag: Project Freelancer's method of creating AI is revealed to be an alien creature that "fixes" the harvested fragments into working programs. Those knowledgable in Halo lore will recognize it as a Engineer/Huragok, a race compelled to fix everything they get their appendages on.
