A lime a day keeps teh scurvy at bay.
Very interesting update. If Ackerson's on mars, wheres the Point of No Return, or the PoNR, as I call it? GARRR! And the balance of Spartan-IIIs?

SPOILER-ish
Also, Master Chief's in his cool armour; isn't that fireproof (like, come on, it can withstand space! )?
Space is a vacuum, not a substance. His suit holds him together in space, it doesn't protect him from it. Only things it protects against are incoming projectiles/plasma and space-bourne radicals from, say, stars. So, minus his shielding, what could his suit do against fire? Even taking into account certain passages from the books where Spartan-IIs (Kelly in particular) theoretically could jump into a planet's atmosphere without the suit taking heavy damage on reentry, it was said that the body would be unable to survive the heat through the suit or the hard landing. I'm guessing continuous exposure to heat from that weapon and others would eventually cook the hydrostatic gel layers and thus boil our Spartans alive. Which is totally sweet.
