He has a genetic compulsion to kick ass.

remember how in Halo: The Flood, Master cheif instinctivle knew how to work Forerunner machines? could it be that this was the result of a geas left over from when the librarian indexed the early humans?
for those of you who didnt read Halo: Cryptum, a geas is a mental command implanted in someones genetic code that allows them to be born with knowledge of something, or a compulsion to do something given the correct conditions.
It seems that the other humans have this same ability, as they often work Forerunner equipment too, such as in Halo 2 when Johnson and Miranda activate the gondala leading to the library, and in Halo Wars with the map. Im thinking that the humans in Halo have a geas that has stayed with them since being indexed by the librarian that allows them to work Forerunner machines with no prior training or understanding of the tech
It is not just the MC but the whole human race. But I theorize that MC and Spartans like him have a greater susceptibility to unlocking their geas due to the circumstances surrounding their development, from a very early age, as humanity's greatest fighters, with all their form mutations (similar to the way Forerunners mutated their bodies) and their extensive wearing of armor (like the Forerunners did on a day-to-day basis).
I think that all of these are right.
But I also think that Spartans are more susceptible to it because they are trained to be more instinctual than other humans. They are highly intelligent and taught a number of complex subject,s yes, but they are also trained to see a situation and react just given their reflexes, where a normal human would have to think about it.
