[@DisturbedSpec] Well, the option is there for them to send someone over. In terms of understanding and reverse engineering technology, your ship's AI is probably one of the best assets we have, but it would be up to you if the Admiral would be willing to take that perceived risk. A UNSC AI having free reign to examine that kind of technology would have massive potential benefits for them, but it requires bringing it aboard a Sangheili ship. Falul would give no argument to them bringing it over with a Spartan escort, if they wanted to. 

It would probably also be a bit strange for them once they meet Dr. O'Connell. Might lend some veracity to Eri's claims, if nothing else.
