I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.
I created the Moa XING avatar pic.
Also I earned the All Star nameplate with this submission to Week 14 All Stars http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline11/bwu_0415/art/likea boss.jpg
Over the years several S-IIs have been introduced that makes the number of S-IIs to survive the augmentations grow larger (of course this could just be simple ret-con.)
In the original print of The Fall of Reach, 33 survived, 12 were crippled, and 30 were dead.
Over time though, that 33 has received an additional 23 Spartans, making it 56.
In Halsey's Journal, she states it is possible that some of the Spartans that died during augmentation could be revived and "fixed." The same applies for the washouts like Fhajad.
I don't have Halsey's Journal on me right now but if anybody could figure out when she possibly stated that (like between 2545-2551), it would help.
Several of these "new" Spartans have been in the universe for quite some time. 11 Beta Red, 3 Delta Red, and 3 who died when they jumped out of the Pelican. We have no idea who these Spartans are. Beta Red has a side story in Reach (radio conversations) but no actual names are given. Red-15 could be Spartan-015.
Anyway, could it be possible that Spartans like Jorge, Solomon, and Team Black are all washouts or the ones who died and were later revived?
If this is true, then 7 Spartans are still dead or crippled, possibly beyond repair.
