Subject: John 117

I know that the master chief is number 117, but why in the fall of reach he is the first child that Dr Halsey observes with Keyes, and even then he is subject number 117.my question however is why he was given that number, was it randomly chosen for him or what?
anyone know?

One does not choose a destiny, his destiny is bestowed, shaped and formed, from the soul.

hes the 117 succesful spartan (thats a guess) or thats his like registartion number as in he may be the first halsey sees but other people that worked for ONI were still getting prospected children..i think thats why he is John 117

@accordingto343

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

Just because he was the first they saw doesn't mean he was the first candidate. Halsey and the other ONI agents didn't go to them in any particular order.
