For honor, for glory... for the Seventh Column.

I was just reading around halopedia about Halo First Strike when I noticed something interesting. This was straight out of section 3 of the plot details from Halopedia.

Admiral Whitcomb asked why the Chief was here, instead of the mission with Captain Keyes deep in Covenant territory. The Chief told him about the events that happened on Halo, and while he was telling the story, Haverson and the others from the dropship arrived. Haverson asked Whitcomb how he was alive, and the Admiral told Haverson that while everyone was evacuating, he had stay behind because the U.N.S.C. was working on a new bomb called a NOVA. Whitcomb armed the NOVAs with fail safe tampering detonators and a countdown timer. Whitcomb had a team of Marines, Charlie Company, to help arm the NOVAs, but they were wiped out, but he then saw Red Team on coded COM and 'asked' to borrow a few Spartans, who armed the NOVAs and give the Covenant trouble with hit-and-run exercises.

Could this "marine team" have been Nova 1? Could the person on the radio in the Halo: Reach trailer who needed Nova 1 in the fight be Admiral Whitcomb? Maybe the person who said "You've got Spartans on the ground sir, we're not going anywhere" was a member of Red Team?

Just something that I thought was interesting that caught my eye.

I'm pretty sure wookie already posted this idea, along with a more elaborate theory.

Yup, here.

Yeah I'm quite sure this theory has already been published. But I still thought it was an interesting find.

no, its NOBLE-1. If you listen to the downloadable version its very clear. I think a lot of people are just looking at it on Youtube where the quality is bad and the sound is not clear.

I listened to it on the XBL marketplace, it sounds like NOVA to me. Would help a lot if bungie gave us a transcript.

I can't blame people for hearing Nova 1 instead of Noble 1 because I can't seem to hear Veronica as Dare's name in the trailer. I keep hearing Monica. However as everyone says its Veronica I accept it. But how when the guy says Noble 1 three times, once very clearly, can people not understand? However, OP, i do like your theory.
