Subject: Why do you think The Rookie doesn't talk? Be creative.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Does he have PTVD caused by some horrifying experience in battle or even something involving family deaths? Or do you think he just prefers not to talk? If so, then why does he prefer not to talk? Anti-Social? Let's hear some possibilities. Be creative.

These are not the informations you are looking for. Unless you're looking for my informations.

He's secretly a machine built by the UNSC to further improve on the Spartan Project and isn't programmed to speak because he would sound like Microsoft Sam. Like Robocop but not from the 1900s.

Obviously.

Actually, I find that I'm more invincible without pants, which is why I am not wearing any at the moment.

His mic has been turned off and doesn't realize it.

ROFL. He was probably trying to chat with his teammates the whole time.

He saw Mickey and Dutch making -blam!- love and was shocked into not talking.

he has no lower jaw

Do, or do not. There is no try.

The rookie doesn't talk because bungie wanted you to shape the way the character is...if they made him talk they would have created a personality but instead to get people more into the game they made him speechless which makes you add a personality to him the way you play the game.....look at nintendo link is speechless, mario samus sometimes

I know that. I'm pretty sure we all know that. That's why I said, be creative. If you look at the above posts, this thread is obviously intended towards creating creative responses of why he doesn't talk. Not the real reason.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

He has taken a vow of silence.

Cookie for reference!

The DMR is a good weapon, not a sniper.
People overuse armour lock to much when getting killed.

He has decided that if he is silent then people will listen to each other more, meaning that he can work well with each other. Or going along with him never taking his helmet off, he got shot in the jaw and now cannot speak momentarily because his jaw is wired shut.

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

Dare did,
in one of the cutscenes of Datahive, Dare asks the Rookie: "What was your name again?".
But he didn't answer because Dare orderd him to come in after hearing a sound down the tunnel.

The cutscene:
