Subject: The Chief and Linda?

About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)

Anyone else getting the vibe that John thinks of Linda as more than just a teammate?
In several cases both in Fall of Reach and First Strike the Chief always seems to notice certain things about her.

When they are gearing up for the asteroid operation he makes special note of her sniper skills. When they are on the station destroying the Nav data he says he "felt every bolt that hit her as if they had hit him" and he held her in his arms.

Heck, when he got back to the Autumn he put her in cryo immediately, BEFORE he put out a call to look for James or ask for the the status of the rest of the Spartans. In First Strike he asks Halsey about her status, and notices the scars across her back.


I think that lil' Chief is in love...as wrong as that may sound. Anyone else agree?

Agreed, I love Linda's personality, she is also a lone wolf, just like John, the thing is, John needs to find the shield world where she was teleported to find her and carry her off her feet. She is my favorite character in the book, saved John's life, then in First Strike, when he carried her in the Banshee, she was on him, I can picture what she was thinking as she held on to him tightly.

Note: I know this is a random fact but Linda has the biggest feet of the Spartans, lol.

EDIT: I've made a few fan fictions with them talking closely, very interesting, not sharing, lol.

Not to ruin your ideas, but Chief put her in cryo immediately before calling a search for a few reasons.

A Spartan could be brought back, provided their body was in stasis.
The quicker body is placed in Stasis, more likely that they could be revived.
The Spartan armor holds 90 minutes of air.

Oh come on, why does everybody think that people are dating in Halo? First Kat and Carter now THIS?!?! I thought Keyes and Halsey was enough for you people! And I also thought Johnson in Contact: Harvest was TOO much, but now I think that you guys would only be happy if the next Halo book was a romance novel! Its a stinkin' FPS and it is also rated M for Blood, Gore, Violence, and Language!

  • 02.09.2011 8:47 PM PDT

Eeeeaaah, kinda, I felt the vibes a bit, but the books portay the personalities of the Spartans a little too vaguely to know anything for certain, it could be a highly likely possibility though.

I agree with Cmdr though on the putting her in cryo imediately thing though, quicker you get them less time decay has to set in, and James was almost a lost cause to look for, and Linda had a higher likelihood of being brought back so he concentrated on her first.

The thing is, Kat and Carter DID have past, stated by Bungie, With Keyes and Halsey I just don't understand, they have no connection what so ever! Contact Harvest was great.

Just because it has those thing does not exclude romance, granted it can, and has survived quite well without and could go on doing so, but just because something is a specific genre does not exclude romance sub-themes. And yes, shipping will crop up anywhere, it's part of human nature to do things like that and there's no stopping the fangirls, or sometime fanboys from doing it.

Actually, Keyes and Halsey spent a great deal of time together which was never mentioned.

That and people have referenced that Miranda and Cortana did look alike in Halo 2. (I personally never noticed.)

Well they did spend time together when they found John, and I'm sure they had plenty to talk in that time, and agreed, I never noticed Miranda looked like Cortana either, turned out they used an almost identical model, probably the hair or clothes.

Yeah, they were together through the entire prospecting recruits.

Honestly, if Bungie had that relationship planned from halo CE or 2, but only revealed now, who knows what other things they are handing to 343 that we don't know about?

Exactly, I want to know what's going to happen in the Dyson sphere, although they don't want to do a direct sequel, what garbage, what else is there to tell after Halo 3 that wasn't told? One thing, what happened to the rest of the team.

They do have a Ghosts of Onyx sequel announced last I heard.

Their PAST was fighting the Covenant and forming Noble team.

Halsey and Keyes knew each other for a very long time, go buy Halsey's Journal.

Forming Noble team AND a love affair, go watch the conferences Bungie have done during Comic Con, PAX, and several others like E3, they have stated that they did have a love past, although it's not mentioned in all of them.

Yes, but like I said, they do not want a direct sequel, they want something that just happens after Halo 3, not following the events of Linda, Kelly, Halsey and the others, I don't know why.

  • 02.09.2011 9:20 PM PDT

He also makes mental notes about all his Spartans constantly. Grace was commended for her explosives expertise, Kelly was constantly commented on about her speed. And she was in his immediate attention while Will was most likely dead even if they did find him. The only somewhat romantic vibes I've gotten off John is about Cortana and Kelly.

Somebody has beaten my Halo canon knowledge. I must go hide in Halopedia for a week.

  • 02.09.2011 9:21 PM PDT

Whens there's no one to turn to, just aim ahead

I would guess if anything it would be like a family love kinda thing. Spartans spent years and years with their squad mates, so it would be natural that they would develop relationships with each other, just like those formed by a family.

For the most part, yes. Though relationships between Spartan's isn't new.

Black team's leader and one of the guys in her squad had a relationship (one which caused Red team from Halo wars to take offense and beat her apparently.) And Carter and Kat having one.

That would mean buying a whole new game, something I'm pretty sure Mojeda doesn't want to do lol.

But uh...Keyes and Halsey had a relationship. Miranda is the product of that relationship. The journal confirms it.

Blew my mind when I first found out.

But John and Linda having a relationship...? Uh...well. Hmmm...

  • 02.09.2011 10:01 PM PDT

He had assumed that every single one of his friends and familiy had just died, and that resurrecting her was the last chance he had of having at least one family member survive.

Imagine if every one of your friends and familiy died, but one of them only got severely injured. How would you feel about saving that person?

Seriously Oak, Ive been doing this -blam!- for 16 years, gimmie my Friggen starter Pokemon and dont call me till im the champion! ¬_¬

Couldn't be more obvious a love interest, issue is that they're killing machines, they were taken away from their parents at an early age, isolated, and barely understood the concept of "Friendship", Love is not something they understand so well - unless you take Halseys' mothering instinct into account

lol Master Chief is a virgin. The biggest badass in the galaxy has never known the warm embrace of a woman.

New virginity comeback = "It's okay that I'm a virgin, the Master Chief is! And he pretty much saved the universe from the Covenant and some zombies"
