I voted for "gets more SPARTANs"because there are still the three SPARTANs that were unable to fight at the battle of Reach. It said in FoR that they were just too far away to join the fight with the other SPARTANs.

As for the SPARATN IIIs, I think that they are being trained by Mendez on Earth. Maybe because all Human colonies have been glassed by the Covenent.

If you read "First Strike", there are hints in the book that show that whatever Dr. Halsley and Kelly are up to, it is related to the crystal they found in the underground facility on Reach. In one part of the book, Dr. Halsley converses with Cortana about the crystal and discovers that the artifact bends not only space, but time as well, which explains the anomaly in the dates the events took place. Dr. Halsley must know this is important to the preservation of the human race, so she erases Cortana's memory of the conversation regarding the artifact.

Dr. Halsley's mission with Kelly seems to be important because she states that once she starts with the "mission", there would be no turning back. She also refers to the fact that she will do anything in her power to save every human being, instead of sacrificing the few to preserve the whole human race, which is evident because of her guilt towards the creation of the SPARTAN 2/MJOLNIR project. I have no idea how this relates to her kidnapping Kelly, though.

Also, at the end of the book, Tartarus(sp?), a Brute, speaks with a Prophet about their plans to destroy the human race. At one point, Tartarus shows the Prophet the glass shards of the alien artifact that bent space and time. Though destroyed by Corporal Locklear, the artifact still had the capability to distort gravity. Also, the Prophet tells Tartarus that the remaining pieces of glass may be enough to serve their initial purpose, which is why the Covenant didn't completely glass reach when they obviously won the battle. This is probably what Dr. Halsley and Kelly are up to: To find the rest of the crystals and destroy them before the Covenant gains control over them. Either that, or they went to some secluded planet to retrieve the Mark VI armor.

Your guess is as good as mine, just shedding some light on information on the books leading up to Halo 2. If i missed something, or there is more interesting information, please, post it.

Well, if you read the book very thoroughly, Ackerson says he pays respect to his predecessor Dr. Halsey for the SPARTAN training. Well, that means he has been working on a spartan project, as he is the doctor's apprentice. So Halsey went to check on his project. (Most of this was written by Alexis. You can contact him here: [email]phoenix155@mac.com[email] This is not my own work, I tried to find his original post in the HBO forums, but it wasn't found.

You also have to take into consideration that Ackerson wants Dr. Halsley and her SPARTANS dead. He clearly empasizes this in the ending of one of the chapters. Maybe he cannot get the greenlight to start his own SPARTAN III project because ONI regards the SPARTAN II project a success and do not want to risk the loss of more children to the harsh training conditions and augmentations they would inevitably endure. Also, I have come up with a theory that Ackerson is infact a traitor and has been dealing with the Covenant for some time now, which would explain the Covenant A.I., and their sudden change in battle tactics (the Elite's use of campsites near the battlefield, the Covenant forces retreating after losing a battle, etc.).

Those are just my thoughts
