"Dear Bungie.net, we regret being stubborn bastards, we regret coming to this forum, and we most definitely regret that Darth Kooky blew up our raggedy-ass opinion!"

In the Halo Evolutions short story, Palace Hotel by Robt McLees, we find out that John-117 knew a little girl not long before he was conscripted into the military. In childhood love, John had told little Parisa Palmer that they were going to be married some day. The story is set loosely in the Outskirts and Metropolis levels of Halo 2's campaign (Well that's my interpretation). Now, my question is this: Who do you decide to be this Parisa Palmer?

My first choice would be the female Marine with the Shotgun in the first tunnel of Metropolis after the bridge section.

Your idea of who she might be?

Signatures are for squares.

I feel that story was the worst of the book, and considering Bungie's always said, "Game canon>Book canon" and this story doesn't fit into any place in the Halo universe without conflicting with Halo 2 canon, I just disregarded the story.

In either event, this belongs in the Universe forum, but yea. I'd agree the only marine that it could be is the marine with a shotgun in the underground highway.

Spartans are from Venus and Elites are from Uranus

I don't accept that story as canon. It drastically rewrites part of Halo 2's story and while working that story in and ignoring the part it replaces wouldn't create any plot holes I refuse to put a Halo novel's story's importance above that of a game.
