*Sigh*

Hasn't anyone the decency to tell this kid the truth? But fine, if you liars really are so determined, I guess I'll just let you poisen the kids mind. Happy?

Master Chief was a kid named John that lived in the Eridanus System on planet Epsilon Eridanus Two (I hope that's right, I don't have my Fall of Reach book right now). Anyway, he was taken by ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence) at the age of about six and a half. They selected him and 74 other children with higher mental and physical abilities than normal children. They were taken to Reach and introduced into the Spartan program, where they trained and became stronger and mentally alert for combat situations. At the age of nine, the spartans were on a training mission on Reach where they were stranded in the wilderness. John gathered the Spartans together and completed the mission and was promoted to squad leader. Soon by the age of 14 they were finally put out on a real mission (back in those days the UNSC was fighting against rebels and not the covenant). John and his select team were sent to a rebel asteroid base and captured the leader. After a few months of cleaning up rebel activity, the UNSC was introduced to the covenant, after the destruction of Harvest colony. The year is 2525 when this occurs and Master Chief and his spartans go to Chi Ceti 4 to obtain their MJOLNIR armor. They get their armor and are sent back to the ship in space, however, the covenant ship assumed to have destroyed harvest is in range. The human battleship cannot destroy it so Master Chief and his team attempt to land on it by using thruster packs. John, Kelly, and Sam (Master Chief's best friends at the time) are the only ones who make it to the hole in the covenant ship created by a MAC round. They enter the ship and see two jackals. Sam gets shot and Master Chief and Kelly have to leave him behind while he sets off the nukes inside the covenant ship. The first spartan who dies. The story then goes to the events leading up to Reach.


Pretty good summary. The name of the city that he grew up in was Elysium City, before being kidnapped. Also, you forgot about all of the body upgrades the Spartans had to get in order to wear the armor without dying.

Yeah, some were left paralyzed or blind after the enhancement surgeries. I think the one that was paralyzed went on to work within the Intelligence department or something like that.

I'm awesome.

My mom says so.

Question: I've heard a lot about how the kids were replaced with clones...why didn't they just use the clones?

At the time, cloning technology wasn't far along enough to make long term clones. The flash clones they made lived for only a couple months to a few years. They made those so the parents wouldn't know that their real children were kidnapped.

thanks. I knew there was a logical explanation but it was getting really annoying...to be honest, the SPARTAN project makes me sad...*tear*

Don't follow in my footsteps; I walk into walls
my 360s blog

To settle this here is some HBO timeline ownage:
2160-2200 This period in human history was marked by a series of brutal conflicts between various governments and factions in our Solar System. Conflicts of particular historical importance included the Jovian Moons Campaign, The Rain Forest Wars, and a series of clashes on Mars.

As overpopulation and political unrest on Earth increased, a number of new political movements formed. The most noteworthy dissident movements of the period were the "Koslovics" and the "Frieden" movement. The Koslovics—supporters of neo-Communist hardliner Vladimir Koslov—sought a return to the glory days of Communism and the elimination of corporate and capitalist influence, particularly in orbital facilities and offworld colonies.

The Frieden movement was a resurgence of fascism, springing from anti-Koslovic sentiment that had taken root in the Jovian colonies (largely backed by Unified German Republic corporations, frequent targets of Koslovic "workers' crusades"). "Frieden" literally means "peace"-in this case, they believed that peace could be achieved only once the "oppressors on Terra Firma" were eliminated.
2160 March-June: The Jovian Moons Campaign began. Jovian secessionist attacks on United Nations Colonial Advisors on the moon Io led to three months of fighting between the Earth military and Jovian "Frieden" forces. Though this was not the first armed conflict in our Solar System, it was easily one of the bloodiest, and is generally considered to be the spark of increased friction and militarization that followed.

The Jovian Moons Campaign escalated tensions, as Earth's national governments-many of which sponsored colonies within the system-began fighting proxy wars off-planet. As these proxy wars continued, tensions on Earth mounted, leading to a number of armed conflicts on Earth itself.
2162 The Rain Forest Wars: Armed conflict ripped through South America, as Koslovic, Frieden, and UN forces all clashed over ideological differences, sparking additional conflicts off-planet.
2163 December: In a conflict that stemmed from the Rain Forest Wars, the three primary Earth factions clashed again, this time on Mars. A series of lightning strikes against Koslovic forces near the Argyre Planitia marked the first extra-terrestrial deployment of Marines. The campaign was an unqualified success. As a result, future military doctrine favored large contingents of Marines for ground assaults and ship-boarding actions.
2164 UN-sponsored military forces begin a pattern of massive buildups, culminating in the first real interplanetary war. After the successful Marine deployment on Mars, recruitment drives and propaganda tactics strongly bolster UNSC (UN Space Command) forces. UN forces defeat Koslovic (supporters of rabid Communist hard-liner Vladimir Koslov) and Frieden (a resurgence of fascism) forces on Earth, then begin a systematic and dedicated drive to crush their remnants on the various planets they hold throughout the system. At the conclusion, Frieden and Koslovic forces are defeated, in the face of a massive, unified and very powerful UN military.
2170 A unified Earth government was formed in the wake of the conflicts of 216. Now, the victors were forced to deal with a less obvious but equally serious threat: overpopulation and a massive military that had no enemy to fight.

In the postwar period there were massive population surges and the overpopulation, coupled with the destruction and famine bred by the Rain Forest Wars, threatened to destabilize the economy.
2291 A team of researchers, physicists, and mathematicians working in secret developed the Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine, a practical means of propelling spacecraft across vast interstellar distances. This new engine allowed ships to tunnel into "the Slipstream" (also called "Slipspace"). Slipspace is a domain with alternate physical laws, allowing faster-than-light travel without relativistic side-effects. Faster-than-light travel is not instantaneous; "short" jumps routinely take up to two months, and "long" jumps can last six months or more.

The SFTE generated a resonance field, which when coupled with the unusual physics of the Slipstream, allowed for dramatically shorter transit times between stars; however, scientists noted an odd "flexibility" to temporal flow while inside the Slipstream. Though no human scientist is sure why travel time between stars is not constant, many theorize that there are "eddies" or "currents" within the Slipstream-there is generally a five to ten percent variance in travel times between stars. This temporal inconsistency has given military tacticians and strategists fits-hampering many coordinated attacks.
2310 The Earth government unveils the first in a line of colony ships; given conditions on Earth are deteriorating in the face of overpopulation, hitching a ride out to a colony becomes a highly attractive option. Additionally, the Earth government plans to attach military personnel to each colony, to help better utilize the massive (and expensive) standing fleets. Because FTL travel is still fairly new and expensive, colonists and military personnel face a stringent regimen of physical and mental testing. In theory, only the best-qualified citizens and soldiers are allowed to colonize "nearby" worlds. This is the birth of the Inner Colonies; typically Inner Colonials are-later in the timeline-considered the elite, the best and brightest.
2362
Jan 1 The Odyssey is launched. The lead ship in the colony vessels, the Odyssey-laden with troops and terra forming gear-spearheads the colonization of a new world. This sparked the first wave of human expansion beyond the confines of the Solar System.
2390 The colonization of the Inner Colonies was fully underway. There were 210 human-occupied worlds in various stages of terraforming, and the population burden across human-controlled space was largely stabilized.
2490 Expansion continued at a rapid pace, and by 2490 human space encompassed more than 800 worlds throughout the Orion Arm of the Milky Way (ranging from fairly well-tamed planetary strongholds to tiny hinterland settlements). Outward expansion continued, and the Inner Colonies become a political and economic stronghold, though they relied heavily on raw materials supplied by the Outer Colonies.

During this period, the planet Reach (orbiting Epsilon Eridani, right on Earth's metaphorical doorstep) became the UNSC's primary Naval yard and training academy. Reach was a major producer of warships and colony vessels, as well as a training ground for covert operatives and Special Forces.
2494 First rebel insurrection in Eridanus system.
2496 The Eridanus insurrection is defeated by UNSC forces.
2510 The structural system for the Pillar of Autumn is designed by Dr. Robert McLees at the Reyes-McLees Shipyards over Mars.
2512 A geological survey team on Sigma Octanus IV finds rocks with odd compositions - these were introduced from meteor impacts roughly 60,000 years ago.
2513 Second rebel insurrection in Eridanus system, led by Colonel Robert Watts, is suppressed by the UNSC in operation TREBUCHET. Watts is driven into the local asteroid belt.
2517
Aug 17 Dr. Halsey and Lieutenant Keyes meet 6-year-old John on a playground in Elysium City, Eridanus-2.
2517
Sep 23 Project SPARTAN II begins on Reach with 75 conscripts. Project SPARTAN is an attempt to develop an effective, surgical military team to relieve political tensions and circumvent civil war.
2519
Jul 12 John makes squad leader.
2523
Jul 14 Spartan Training exercise: Capture the Flag against Tango Company.
2525
Feb 3 Contact with Harvest, an outer colony, is lost shortly after the colony itself had made contact with an unknown object. The Colonial Military Administration sends the scout ship Argo to investigate.
2525
Apr 20 The Argo arrives in-system and makes one confirmation transmission. No further reports are received.
2525
Mar 9 The Spartans undergo a radical series of biological, neurological, and physiological alterations. 30 die, 12 are permanently disabled, and 33 successfully adapt.
2525
Sep 12 The Spartans first "official" mission, to infiltrate the rebel base on Eridanus to capture the rebel leader, Colonel Robert Watts, is successful.
This covers the chief to the age of 15
