Weren't many of the failed Spartan IIs (both those who dropped out during training and crippled by the augmentation process) swallowed up by other parts of the military? Since it seems Dare is part of ONI Section 1, isn't it possible she is also a former Spartan? This could also explain why she is using Spartan armour.
Yep, they were. However, I don't see how she would be getting into combat if she failed the Spartan II program. Perhaps she's the daughter of someone who was in the ORION project? (A Spartan 1.1?) She'll still have the same physical augmentations as her parents did, but she'll still be young and she'll still be in physical shape for combat.I made a slight mistake in my post. I meant there were Spartan IIs who were forced out after being crippled due to complications in the augmentation process, but also those who simply dropped out of the program. They would still be highly capable soldiers... just not Spartans. I was speculating that Dare could belong to the latter category.
Either way, I think we can all agree the possibility of Dare being some kind of former Spartan is a viable theory.
