I think it IS Noble one and not Nova One...also Noble one IS Sierra 259 (Spartan-259) who is obviously a second class Spartan II because the first class' numbers only went up to 150 (as far as i am aware) because there were 150 Spartans in that class so surely a Spartan-259 would be in a second class.

Oh and my proof that Noble One is Spartan-259 is that a Spartan wouldn't just randomly but into a conversation between a UNSC Officer and someone else and it would also have to be a secure line if the Officer is directly contacting one person (Noble One) otherwise the entire UNSC (and Covenant) could hear his broadcast...SO Spartan-259 wouldn't be able to listen into Noble One's conversation unless he WAS Noble One.

of course a Pelican named Nova-One or another shuttle (like the one in Fall of Reach that was carrying the Spartans, but was shot down) could easily be what they're referring too.

In Halo 3, Spartans -regardless of # - were called Sierra's, such as the Spartan calling himself Sierra-259 (MC's Sierra-117). Why give a spartan another name? Unless of course it's referring to a group of Spartans, in which case it would be Noble Ones, which it's not.

So let's go ahead and agree that either Noble One has nothing to do with Spartans - creating that sense of interruption that you thought wasn't probable, or agree that it's Nova One, the potential Pelican drop-ship transporting these Spartans.

Sound good?

Well no...many spartans are referred to as other things such as Blue-One being the leader of Blue Squad so Noble/Nova One would be the leader of Noble/Nova squad.

It could be that, or maybe "Noble One" was a ship that fled/got destroyed. And Sierra 259 is stepping up to take care of what they failed to do. He does say "We're not going anywhere" which could imply that "Noble One" somehow fled/got destroyed.

Yes but he also says "We've got Spartans on the ground" which could imply they are allready on the ground so not in a ship...i mean it could be that they are near a landed Pelican called Noble One which the Officer radioed and then the pilot passed it across to S-259 but i personally think Noble One is S-259

did you even read what I said?

The Pelican is known as Nova-One. The Spartans already have their own squad name, as you've said. Then the Spartans individually identify themselves as MC was S117.

...rebuttal...?

you just agreed with me! excluding the last sentence.

Read the Fall of Reach, it says the Spartan's Pelican got shot down by a Seraph... hence the pause and hesitation when the guy says "Nova-One... Nova-One do you read me...?" and then the squad leader identifies himself and the fact that they made it to the surface.

Giving a single Spartan the title of Noble One wouldn't make sense, because nobody ever identifies a Spartan as such, unless it's Master Chief, because of his rank.

Noble One and the Spartans are two seperate and distinct forces.

give an example from Fall of Reach, where a Spartan was called something different.

The military would identify a Pelican or other light shuttle using a personification, but never a single individual.

you seriously just flipped?

Good that we agree Spartans aren't Noble One or Nova-One. That can only leave a Pelican given the task of transporting these Spartans to the surface, or some UNSC ship that was either fled or destroyed (but i have my doubts because I do not recall any such ship -being that important- destroyed in FoR).

I'm pretty sure it's just a call sign (i.e. Red One, Rainbow Six, etc...)

It seemed you were arguing that Noble/Nova One WAS spartan259.

especially when you said "but i personally think Noble One is S-259" further up the page.

I was thinking that Noble One was someone that the Spartans were there to find or protect.

Edit: At the height of the radio chatter you can hear Noble one say "We'll hold this position as long as we can" Then after that you can hear the person calling out for Noble One.

Edit 2: Or perhaps it is the position that the Spartans are there to defend. Maybe Noble One got destroyed after their last transmission and right before the Spartans showed up, then the Spartans radioed in to say that they were joining the fight from where Noble One left off.


You have me confused with someone else.

This was my only other post on this topic.

I am pretty sure that he says "Number One" and not Noble.

it could be his codename, like John 117's was master chief

That's not a nickname, that's an actual Naval rank.

I was under the impression he said "Nova One", being the Spartan team heading down to Reach.


same

i know i was just trying to prove a point

Love your enemies...it pisses them off.

Here are my thoughts, but first I believe it was Nova one.\
there was the line "we're coming in hot hold on!!" that was fred who was with red team when they're pelicans pilot was killed due to seraph fighters and they had to crash land on reach. (first strike book)
did you guys hear the woman say this is sierra 3,2,0 prepped for combat insertion?
ok so for NOVA 1 like i said its a little out there but bear with me, so in the first strike book Admiral whitcomb was on Reach developing a new bomb called a NOVA (in reference to a star exploding) and he assembled teams to "deliver" those bombs right up the covenant's ass, but... those teams were killed, so Nova 1 could have been one of those teams and they needed them so they could obliterate the covenant.

so yeah its unlikely cuz its not exactly how it was in the books but y'never know

umm just sayin red team which was sent to the surface with fred was split up into different squads one was delta one so another could be nova 1 and each squad has different spartans in it

""Four of us," Blue-Two whispered over the link. "And a thousand of them? Piss-poor odds for the little guys."" Second page, about half way down in The Fall Of Reach...
