alright heres my theory Sierra 259 is a member of the spartan3 gamma company.

reasons supporting this theory
1 gamma company went active about a month before the attack on reach

2 gamma company had more than 300 spartans that makes it possible more there to be a sierra "spartan" 259

3 gamma company had left onyx a little bit before the attack on reach.

these are some reasons that show that my theory is wrong

1 its possible gamma company didn't go to reach

2 sierra doesn't neccesarily mean spartan. it could be someone's name beginning with the letter S.

This world sucks. Socialism rocks. 4chan and /b/ aren't bad. The Flood has lost it's shininess. The Internet is still the same. The Halo 3 Forum has drastically changed, for the better, since Halo 3/2007. And still I'm one depressed Mother-blam!-.

Damn, that is a really good possibility. Why haven't other people thought of that?

It's not. Spartan IIIs never were shown to the public, not even the other Spartans knew about them. They don't do missions in tens they do them in hundreds. If they were on Reach they would have no doubt assisted the Spartan IIs on protecting the MAC generators on the surface.


edit: he is a spartan by the way. "Sir you got spartans on the ground, {we're] not going anywhere."
This also goes along with the fact that they weren't going to retreat from the MAC generators.

When I say 'hehe' that's bad. If you insult me I'll give you a stern talking then wag my finger at you, that'll show ya.

Probably because the SIII's are top secret

The Spartan-III's have A, B, or G in front of their name so that they do not get confused with Spartan II's who many have the same number as. Tom-B092 would be mistaken for Jerome-092 if they did not say the B for Tom. So I find it highly doubtful that the 259 is a Spartan III.

Also, the Battle of Reach was in August 2552, the surviving Spartan-III's (Gamma Squad) were not selected until 2545, they would only be 13 at the time of the battle of Reach and would still not be done training. Also, not a single of the Spartan-III's left Onyx until shortly before the Battle of Onyx starting October 31 2552. No Spartan-III's were on Reach.

i knew i was forgetting something in my reasons for why my theory was wrong the lack of the G. also the Spartan3s were injected with hormones to make them age a little faster so by the time of the battle of onyx they were 13 years old with the bodies of 18 year olds
