Subject: Question about Halsey in REACH and Glasslands

Ok so i finished reading glasslands and well thats a whole different topic. Any way she states that she is surprised that pissed at the S3's (i read onyx but i cant remember her reaction in it). But in the game reach she doesnt even seem phased to see "other" spartans than her own.

Also how are S3's even able to wear MJOLNIR? throughout the cannon it clearly states that only those with ceramic bone replacement are strong enough to use the armor without killing themselves.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I could say something about this, but then people will b!tch and moan that I blindly hate Reach. Therefore, since my opinion isn't wanted and misconceived around these parts, I will say nothing.

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

You are allowed to say what you want about Reach, it's when you start making fun of people or "chuckling" when they say they liked Reach is when people get annoyed with you.

"What do you hear?"
"Nothing but the rain."
"Then grab your gun and bring in the cat."
"Boom, boom, boom!"

She didn't know that Noble (save for Jorge) were S-IIIs. All she knew was that they weren't hers. After finding Ackerson's files under CASTLE and meeting Gamma on Onyx did she start to put things together.

Also, the S-IIIs have the same augments as the S-IIs save for the thyroid implant.

that would be a impossibility, the novels clearly state that she know each of her spartans even in full armor face concealed. and by that default who else would be strong enough to wear MJOLNIR armor.

The S-III's were created more so by drugs then by surgery, tho in my effort in this issue I read on Halo wiki that it was a special variant of the mark V armor. To me I still dont believe they are capable for wearing it. The whole reason of the surgical implants was so their bones wont snap while in the suits.

The drugs did the exact same thing.

drugs are not going to change bone into cermaic plates. They would have increased blood flow, muscle mass, ect. You can not over look an integral part of becoming a true spartan.

Now if you were to say that a few S-III's with exception genetic markers were flagged and under went the same process as the S-II's that would be more believable, tho I would still call BS because of the cost and 50/50 chance they would not survive. That would go against the overall plan of cheap, high specialize, but expendable weapons.

"carbide ceramic ossification catalyst" drug- skeletons become virtually unbreakable, allowing survival in harder impacts.

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

Spartan III's are just as capable of wearing MJOLNIR as Spartan II's are, they have the augmentations, they have the training, they have the determination, etc... If it wasn't for the fact that Spartan III's are younger, then they could pass as Spartan II's and no one but Halsey and Mendez would know.

Halsey believed they were part of another Super-soldier project, like Project: JAVELIN. She didn't knew that Spartan III's existed until she found the schematic files under Mechanite mountain, then she went to Onyx and found the Gamma Company members that had stayed to compete for top honors and finally figured out who they where.
