Was a good read. Although I have issues with the cannon breaches Halo Reach brought about with the novels, I still enjoyed the reading.
Yes, I agree, the canon-breaking that Halo: Reach dealt out is very annoying. I just sought to offer a different take on the game's so-called lack of character depth.

Good read. Though the part with Carter protecting her may be another hint he and Kat might have had some sort of relationship in the past.
It is that too, a previous relationship between Carter and Kat was hinted at in the commentary on the Legendary Edition.
I like to think of Halo Reach like I do with some of the episodes in Halo Legends, an interesting fan story, not cannon, but not entirely meant to be forgotten either.
I was incredibly pissed off when I finished the Reach campaign and I saw the many inconsistencies within the canon. HOWEVER, as time passed by, I realized what every other person who is pissed off at the "broken canon" should realize. Halo is, or was up to that point, Bungie's baby. And Bungie, perhaps to assert their authority, rightfully retconned a few, almost insignificant, parts about the canon. After all, game canon should reign supreme over all other works pertaining to Halo.
But I have digressed too far off topic. On the Spartan's helmets, I find the OP's theory quite awesome. But I do think that, although Jorge showed a more Human side on many instances, all the other Spartan II's are very different to the Spartan III's in this manner. It's a nice detail that Bungie's writers worked in very nicely.
