Wednesday 13 is the best vocalist ever. /fact, not opinion

i have stumbled upon the possible characters we'll play as in reach some info was taken from the full spartanII list topic
okay here we go:
Spartan-006 Jai (Grey Team Location unknown)
Spartan-008 Li (KIA 2552 Slipspace anomoly battle)
Spartan-029 Joshua (MIA presumed KIA 2552 last seen in a damaged Banshee on Reach)
Spartan-030 Vinh (MIA presumed KIA 2552 ONI Castle Base)
Spartan-034 Samuel (MIA presumed KIA 2525 Covenant ship)
Spartan-039 Isaac (MIA presumed KIA 2552 ONI Castle Base)
Spartan-042 Douglas (MIA Last seen onboard the Spirit of Fire 2531)
Spartan-043 William (KIA 2552 Killed in combat against a Hunter pair on Onyx)
Spartan-044 Anton (MIA presumed KIA 2552 Slipspace anomly battle)
Spartan-047 Keiichi (Last seen during the first battle for Arcadia)
Spartan-051 Kurt (KIA on Onyx 2552)
Spartan-058 Linda (Active in Shield World)
Spartan-059 Malcolm (KIA Reach 2552)
Spartan-062 Maria (Retired)
Spartan-084 Fhajad (Discharged after suffering from the augmentation)
Spartan-087 Kelly (Active in Shield World)
Spartan-092 Jerome (Last seen on board the Spirit of Fire 2531)
Spartan-093 Grace (KIA 2552 During combat against a Brute)
Spartan-104 Fred (Active in Shield World)
Spartan-111 Adriana (Grey Team location unknown)
Spartan-117 John ( Last seen in stasis onboard the Forward unto Dawn)
Spartan-130 Alice (Last seen 2531 onboard the Spirit of Fire)
Spartan-??? James (KIA 2552 Reach)
Spartan-??? Cassandra (Discharged but recovering from augmentation).
Spartan-??? Shiela (KIA 2544 during the battle for Miridem)
Spartan-??? Mike (Grey Team location unknown)
Spartan-??? Kirk (Discharged due to augmentation)
Spartan-??? Randall (MIA)
Spartan-??? Rene (Discharged due to augmentation)

So in summary:

75 Candidates
33 fully recover from augmentation
12 survive augmentation but are left crippled
30 die from augmentation
this means that 28 were still alive and gray team were behind enemy lines which leaves 25 to defend reach now 3 of those 25 were the spartans of the Spirit Of Fire which means somehow they returned to reach in-time for it's invasion so this leads to a possible game:
the game halo:reach may be returning to reach from jerome, douglas or alices point of view which leads to a game or:
the mysterious black team
The Halo Wars timeline states that at the time of the invasion of Reach there were 28 operational Spartans left. 3 of them were too far away to be recalled, as already mentioned, which were Grey Team from the Cole Protocol novel.

So, this means that there were 25 operational Spartan II's on or in orbit of Reach to aid the UNSC defence.
If we look at the current list it's obvious that somehow Alice, Douglas and Jerome made it back before the Fall of Reach took place along with the unusual and mysterious Black Team that we have yet to read about.

this also leads to the possibility of playing halo: reach from the view of black team
