Subject: Who do you think some of the unused Spartan II candidates are?

"The Fall of Reach" mentions how 150 children were identified as possible candidates for the Spartan program, but only half were picked due to logistical constraints. All 75 of those chosen made it to the end of training, meaning that the other 75 definitely had what it would have taken.

So what do you think happened to these other 75 exceptional individuals? If some of them went into the military, do you think we may have met them in the various Halo games?

Lucky children?

Weren't most of them deformed and paralyzed due to the Augmentations?

I think he means the ones that didn't made the final roster (aka the ones that didn't underwent kidnapping and training.)

absolutely nothing, except ONI probably kept track of them, just in case.

That one Marine who Chief found of the body of most of the way through the Library in the Flood may have been one of the candidates who was passed over.

I thought so :) It's either that, or he was a Spartan one. 'Cause I don't see any average everyday UNSC Marine getting that far through the Library.

Unless he was having a really lucky day. But what you suggest makes the most sense

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Yes, Pete Stacker is awesome, especially since he is voiced by the same guy who does Captain Keyes ^_^ Chips Dubbo (or however the Australian Marine's name is spelled) has also survived all the events of the Halo games (wasn't in Reach though to my knowledge).

Buck might also have been a potential candidate, since it describes him as "any better and he would be a Spartan" about him in ODST promotional information I think (either that or it's Reach). And he was born about the same time as all the SIIs (a year older than Chief to be exact).

Reach firefight voice profile although I saw Buck die on Reach! it's a time paradox!
