“But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God..."
Even with their Mark VI armor, they still lack the 'normal' agility of Elena and her descendants. So, something must have happened. I wonder what?
Uhm, Cortana/Siren. We will leave that one just rest.
Aside from some rampant speculation, I would venture two guesses:
- Gene mutilation through direct or indirect alteration or muddling (ie: having babies with someone who botches up the gene)* *which according to the current story, may not be possible.
- The Spartans of "today" are (GASP) not direct decendants of Elena or her Grandmother. Perhaps another lesser line of gene pool from shall we say, lilith's Seed or John is an Archangel as you refer to them. Only thing is, I do not have the facts on where each "family tree" is rooted from.
*Now* back to the rampant speculation stuff, If the latter were true, then it is quite possible through either extrapulation of John's DNA or through information posessed in the Forerunner A.I., that a "Super Spartan" could be birthed. It is completely possible that the true bloodline already runs thick in some yet-unknown character. Besides the fact that Dr. Hasley has been off tinkering with things for a while now.
While the circumstances are unclear, it seems both yourself, Soulgaurd, and Mr. Clark have come to the same conclusions regarding the original Spartans, both pre and initially post Halo firing. I do not find it a cooincedence that this is the case.
Love the Mystery and thick plot. Please feel free to take us on an even deeper whirlwind of twists and false truths. Despite our curiousity, keep your kitties.
Thanks SG, once again.
