Yeah, keep thinking she would be the sidekick. It's nice to have aspirations.
Cortana's fond of her holo avatar, but it's a courtesy to humans, like picking an icon to use in a comments section. Presumably it suits you, but you don't go around everywhere with a picture of it on your shirt, y'know? She does pop up for a few seconds to test that the repairs work, looking herself up and down for emphasis, then winks at Babbage as the hologram dissolves into particles and disappears again.
"How is it that there's a whole planet of us, anyway? I'd think humans would have tried to stop that cold." The human species where she's from needs smart AIs to run its war machine, but if it looked for one second like their digital majordomos were gearing up to form a political power bloc, there would be mass AI murder as a few thousand failsafe routines were triggered.
