But are you considering Halsey? The doctor repeatedly put her reputation, career, and life on the line vouching for the SPARTAN programs. Kat-B320 was barely considered combat effective by the board's analysis after the reconstructive surgery and robotic arm implementation.
Now she was increasing an inter-colony debt constantly, having affairs with half of her team and pregnant with a child that would be seriously defective due to the chemical alteration processes her and Jun both went through. Halsey could have easily been dishonorably discharged from the UNSC if this ever got out to command.
The solution would be simple, using the translation software near completion from her new A.I. Cortana, Halsey would hail the Covenant and offer them the blueprinted infrastructure of ONI Sword Base in return for the execution of Kat-032. Using the excuse of an "Armor-Software Service Update" Halsey switched the helmet with one with a soft backing and a receiver for shield termination via remote control. A brilliant mind like Dr. Halsey's is the only one capable of Kat's murder.
I must say I'm quite intrigued by your hypothesis. Kat would definitly pose a threat to doctor Halsey and her future with the UNSC. It is probable that Kat was to much of a liability. Halsey you are a clever one.
