w00t for Draerden. he's actually thinking, as opposed to all you people who think that anyone who hates spartens is working with the covenant. i still don't think that ackerson has even done anything willingly to help the covenant, though.

When Dr. Halsey is looking through Ackerson's files it says:
'There were DNA profiles on each Spartan, and there were extensive files on the old flash clone techiniques that ONI had used to replace the originals. Ackerson seemed especially in this aspect of the program.He had followed the medical records of the replacements as they grew up, succumbed to congenial diseases, and inevitably died. He even had the bodies retrieved and autopsies performed.'

It seems to me that he is using the Spartan program as research for his Spec-weapons project, and since he was so interested in the clones I thought that it would have something to do with cloning.

Actually the last hero to everyone in this Halo saga was Admiral Cole and his Victory on the Harvest system. But all these things you guys say got me thinking and I might come up with a new thread, beacuase some of these facts are pretty damn good. If you were to ask me I only came with this theory after I finished all the book series. lol

Well, note that he was particularly interested in the diseases and the like. Sounds to me like he's trying to thwart these difficulties so the can clone the thirty two Spartans that survived the augmentations with no ill effects.

The thing was, what would he need cloned Spartans for? Did you ever notice that it seemed they weren't developing the Mjolnir armour in Castle base, that it was being developed somewhere else?

Perhaps the reason Ackerson is really pissed off about Halsey's Spartans is that his project was the Mjolnir and when the Spartan and Mjolnir projects were combined he was delegated to a secondary roll, leaving Halsey in total control.

Ackerson is a proud man who clearly doesn't like the idea of taking orders from a civilian and, more from his attitude, a woman in particular.

Now, if something were to happen to Halsey's Spartans, the new Spartans that he's cloned, completely under his control, will be the true Spartans. Only then would he be happy.

The Covenant do have lots of ships because at the end of First Strike it says: 'Where they were recovered by the hundreds of supercarriers and cruisers'.

So the Covenant DO have loads of ships since they have 100's of just those ship types, and those are just the ships on guard duty.

DarkWarrior: Yes, but Ackerson doesn't know that.

If we are talking about traitors, I would imagine as per bungie's other games and their story lines that it is most likely a rogue or soon to be rogue AI. Read some of the Marathon story lines....

Kerberos, that is definitely the most likely solution, such a flawed system going into Rampancy would have any number of reasons to do that, some benevolent, some malevolent.

Good Call there.

What kind of game was this Marathon im interested as to what it might include my idea. Ive only played Myst and Oni that were other Bungie games and to me Oni was a totally different game.

Well everyone has their own opinion about Colonel Ackerson but we do all agree on one thing he will play a big role in the next game.
