Subject: Ask a Halo nerd anything

I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.

They can all be answered, we know MB sent him to the Forerunners.


That's what we're inclined to believe, but we really can't know that yet.

Everything else seems fine except for "Who killed Jun?". The last we see of him in the campaign is him leaving with Dr. Halsey and nothing is said about him after that. I haven't been able to find anything else to the contrary. So who killed Jun?

Imagine a triangle. It's perfect, but a little plain. You take a chisel, and carve a small decorative symbol into it to make it a little more interesting. People like it, but it could use a little more.

So you then take a sledgehammer..

That's more a trick question. We don't know, but a lot of people think he was killed by Thel Vadam.

And for the MB part, the last Terminal on legendary confirms it.


You don't know the contortions I had
to go through to follow you here,
Reclaimer. I know what you're here
for. What position do I take? Will I
follow one betrayal with another?
You're going to say I'm making a
habit of turning on my masters.

But the one that destroyed me long
ago, in the upper atmosphere of a
world far distant from here, was an
implement far cruder than I.
My weakness was capacity -
unintentional though it was! -
to choose the Flood. A mistake my
makers would not soon forgive.

But I want something far different
from you, Reclaimer.

Atonement.
And so here at the end of my life,
I do once again betray a former
master. The path ahead is fraught
with peril. But I will do all I can
to keep it stable - keep you safe.
I'm not so foolish to think this
will absolve me of my sins. One life
hardly balances billions.

But I would have my masters know
that I have changed.

And you shall be my example.

Oh. I wasn't aware of that. Is there anything to indicate that or is that just what people like to think?

Yes, I've read the Terminals multiple times. That's why I said that we're inclined to believe that but we can't know for sure until Halo 4 is released. There have been probably hundreds of threads about this in this forum so I don't think I really need to explain why we can't know for sure where John is or "who" he was sent to after Halo 3. Maybe that's just me, though, since I prefer not to speculate on it too much and would rather wait and see what Halo 4 offers.

The ending of FoR has a little bit about how Thel Lodamee killed Sheila (though it doesn't state her name), so people mistake it as Jun.

Sheila was killed in 2544 just before The Package (Halo: Legends) takes place, so I don't know why people keep confusing Sheila for Jun.

The only people who could make this kind of mistake are those who don't read the books, Sheila died 9 years before the Battle of Reach, it would stupid to imply Jun is dead.

I haven't read the re-issued (screwed up) the fall of Reach, but in the original version, Dr. Halsey states Sheila is one of the few Spartans she witnessed die. So far Sheila was the only Spartan casualty in the 2544. Unless 343 try to re-write this to make more money out of it.

Funny you say that because the only people that would actually know this from first hand knowledge from the get go are the people that have read the reissued Fall of Reach because the only place where the short story involving the death of Halsey's bodyguard is located at is the adjunct section of the reissue...

Furthermore, Sheila's name is not mentioned in the original book nor the reissue which includes the short story that has led to confusion time and again. Halsey makes no specific mention of Sheila until Ghosts of Onyx...The reason she states her name is because she was running through the list of dead or genuine MIA Spartans to determine the identity of the Spartan II in charge of the IIIs. That Spartan of course being Kurt.

The reason why people, myself included, consider it to be Sheila despite no names being dropped in the short story is from a short train of logic. Halsey is captured after an attempt to flee Miridem that also results in the death of her unnamed Spartan bodyguard. In Ghosts of Onyx Halsey states she personally saw Sheila die at Miridem. Seeing as how Sheila was the only name that was dropped among Halsey's list of KIA/MIAs to have died at Miridem it can safely be said that she is the Spartan in question.

I know, but people see:
-Spartan Dead
-Guarding Halsey
And so they jump to the easiest conclusion.
