Subject: My New Theory About DARE - Why she must be a Spartan

Posted by: Radiant Eclipse
The reason the lieutenant got crushed by the armor was because he was wearing all of it. If she was wearing just the helmet then there wouldn't be anything to crush her would there?


Well.. there's the helmet

my thoughts are she failed at becoming a spartan and they had already did all the stuff to her head so she has to wear a spartan helmet and bungie felt she deserved recon

Well if you want her to be a spartan, as you all should know the spartans we know are the second generation spartans S2s so the S1could stand for the first spartan project and this is just a theory but because the first spartans were not all they could be, they might have faded away like the way the captain says that he "didn't think you S1 types ever left your caves" and DARE could have been taken into ONI because we know that she took over the squad so that they could protect an ONI project/base and in that regard she would be like the failed S2s and the helmet/suit (I can't tell if she has the suit) could come from a late attempt to reaugument the S1s and maybe she made it through and was able to get a suit/helmet because she works with ONI now.

Whew what a rant

My theory on the base/project Optican

Dare is part of ONI thus the Recon Helmet, the body and shoulders are ODST not MJOLNR or however you spell it.


Werent they going to name it Halo 3 Recon?but Bungie changed it to ODST maybe recon and ODST have something to do with each other right?

Why does every thread trying to discuss Dare turn into a troll session with these ridiculous post about her being an alien. Please post evidence to support your claims.

My theory:

Dare is ONI and is working to secure technology that is being housed inside of the ONI building. She is not big enough to be a Spartan evidence being that Kelley was the smallest of the Spartans, please read the books before you comment, and she was around 6 feet tall. That being said I believe we are looking at an ONI spook that is trying to secure the data centers that hold the location of Earth along with the remaining Human colonies. The exciting thing is that we might be seeing some new technology when the story line brings us into the ONI building. The captured covenant technology was brought here to be studied and reverse engineered. Cool.

maybe she failed to be a spartan because she is too little

Then she wouldn't had been selected from the start. The Spartans where carefully handpicked across the universe.

yeah i know but maybe she stopped growing up?

The game takes place on Earth, you are confusing this with Halo: Reach.

All Spartans use standard UNSC neural interfaces. There's nothing special about them.

You can't be a Spartan and part of ONI. S1 is Section one of ONI and notice how she is only wearing the helmet now? That's why.

If I remember correctly from the Fall of Reach, there were ex-spartans (failed ones) that are now in ONI.
Yes, but i believe they we're crippled.

Significantly so, yes.

They act all big and tough when their on camera with their friends and their guns. But when you break into their house in the middle of the night and stick a gun barrel in their face. They cry like babies and and piss their pants.

She is not a Spartan, by the time of the slipspace jump at New Mombasa there were NO Spartans on Earth. And certainly none of them were named Dare.

It is. I would say there's some merit in the theory, though I would believe in a different reason for securing the building, not NAV data. NAV data is on ships and such, and while that doesn't necessarily mean that it can't be in the ONI building, it's unlikely that it was forgotten.

We are talking about ONI here, after all. These guys don't run away scared, leaving important -blam!- behind.

She could very well be a Spartan I. There are no records available indicating the number or identity of those in the SI (a.k.a. the non-original-spartans-from-Greece program, for all of you nutbags out there.) program, other than Sgt. Avery God Dammed Johnson.

If you remember, the spartans were shown a video of a marine trying to operate a set of MJOLNIR armour and it didn't end well.


I still get goosebumps from that.

I really doubt it, and even if she WAS a Spartan 1 it wouldn't change the story at all.

blam! you are right! Sorry. New Mombasa is on Earth. The Prophet of Truth shows up to Earth but doesn't expect there to be any resistance i.e. he is looking for something that is forerunner in origin but find humans instead. What was he looking for and could the ONI have found it already?

What do you mean "it wouldn't change the story at all"? What story?

Fred, Will and Linda were at Earth at this time, actually, as far as we know at least.


Yes, but they did not fight at New Mombasa. And they left at a simmilar time to the cheif. And the only combat operations they participated in were in the Caribeans.

Good theory but she is actually a covenant alien.

Theory- She wears the recon helmet at big size because she actually is a covenant alien plotting against her fellow team.

- It seems she has human fingers but she is half human half alien, meaning her head is alien and is why she wears a big helmet.

I do hope you're joking. There's no way ONI would assign someone to S1 without ever seeing their face.

Yeah, also on E3 demo befor the drop you can see in the pod comm screen that DARE helmet it´s open (the orange part), you can see her eyes and part of her face. She´s human.
