Mentioned in the games or books ? In the books there are 24 counting the injured.
Anybody know when Eric Nylund is gonna finish next HALO book?

Depending on from where you're counting from, there are many figures for how many Spartans there are. At the end of First Strike, we have somewhere between 5 and 17: John, Fred, Kelly, WIll, and Linda are the main 5, then there is are up to 12 others from the group that survived augmentation but suffered side effects. We are never told how many of those are still surviving.

Well, I recounted and I got this - 5:Linda,John,Kelly,Fred, and Will.
3: other spartans not named too far away to help
1: Cassandra
12: severely injured during augmentation
So I got about 21 spartans

I read that letter too when I got Halo 2 and it puzzled me to no end. It sounds to me like this "Cassandra" might be in love with John.

Love interest for Master Chief in Halo 3 perhaps? Might be a fun story twist.


Spartans don't love... through all their surgeries and hormone injections they lose the sex drive... read the books man.

The side effects of the surgery are reduced sex drive It's not impossible. Also, has anyone considered that it could be one of the Spartans that survived the surgery, but were crippled? In the books, there are said to be a dozen of them still alive.

I never read the books but it seems like to me Cassandra was on the list to be a Spartan and knew Master Cheif before he wen't off to Halo 04. Maby having her "skin" taken off was part of the process of becoming a Spartan, and being reskined means that after the physical surgery of becoming a Spartan a person's skin is put back on and she is off to recovery. But as I've said I have never read the books. I love how someone speculates something on this site and it turns into a flame war. Thanks a lot Bungie. :p

THE SWORD OF DAMECLES SHALL FALLETH UPON THINESELF!

i never thought of that but there is one problem

the spartans were conscripted when they were 6 years old and that was in 2517 and now its about 2552 so theyre all in their forties about (the covenant attacked humanity in 2525)

there are only two possiblities

1.) Cassandra is one of the original spartan 2s' and was ony of those wounded that could not attend the spartan "convention/awards ceremony/capture covenant ship and kidnap prophet mission brief" in 2552

That said she was being treated but would not be fit enough to join said mission

2.) There is a slim to none chance that she was one of those new Spartan 3's which would explian why she greeted John by his number

Those are my ideas and i might have miscommunicated something

Cassandra has to be military.

She knows about Halo and the mark 4 suit. They would be classified no civilian would know.

I'm not sure about being "skinned again". Could it be a haircut? You know when you're put into active service you get a miltary haircut. *shrug*

I don't think she's a Spartan that failed the augmentation process as theres a large gap between then and the halo events.

It sounded to friendly to be a Spartan. The Spartons are close but I don't belive they'd word a letter that way, or even if they'd write letters. The Master Chief is also the leader of the Spartons so I'd've expected to see language reflecting that

It's a mystery to me who she is.

I doubt it's any relation but what was the name of the AI that was involved in teaching the Spartans pre-augmentation?

Today, humanity feels pale and thin with only ghosts to defend her heart. I feel much the same.

Ghosts of what?




Ghosts of Coral? The new book name? Connected? Could she be at Coral? Could Coral be under attack as well? Eh? EH?!

I want that book!

I wonder what time its set in?

If she knows about Spartans maybe she knows that most are dead but have been declaired MIA to keep moral up (don't know the logic in that) but maybe thats what she means by "only ghosts to defend her heart"

"117,

As you might imagine-though I know you won't- I've heard quite a bit of your recent adventures on the Halo. I'm glad you made it; I have to assume you always will. Recovery is going well and I am proceeding on to fourth-stage rehabilitation. It is significantly more painful than the previous stages, but I'm happy to be skinned once again.

I hear that you will be testing the new Mark VI. I will definately look for the reports on how it works out. The specs are obviously improved, but the choice to incorporate further Covenant technology somehow makes my skin crawl.

We miss you, John. I've asked Sergeant Johnson to let me know if you're ever near the M2SL Recovery Station and perhaps I'll be able to come see you. I'm hoping I'll have the chance soon. Today, humanity feels pale and thin with only ghosts to defend her heart. I feel much the same.

Ill write again.

-Cassandra"

JOHNSON IS ON HIGH CHARITY, HE LEFT WITH JOHN UPON THE IN AMBER CLAD... HE"S NOT ON EARTH WITH CASSANDRA, Gh0st ce whatever.

use logic before you post pleeeeeeease


johnson is not on high charity, he's on the Delta Halo with commander keyes, the arbiter and 343 guilty spark, high charity was taken over by gravemind remember, with cortana still onboard

as for cassandra its most likely she is a spartn that didnt make it through the entire process and shipped of to this "recovery station" where she can still serve the UNSC, however, the "recovery station" could be a staging area for fighting the convenant or simply a code name, she could still be an active spartan, who knows, unlikely bungie will explain until at least closer to release of halo 3

THE SWORD OF DAMECLES SHALL FALLETH UPON THINESELF!

ya guys cassandra is not mentioned in any books or anything

except that in the Fall Of Reach there are a few spartans who cant make it to the special briefing and a few who are too injured to return immediatly return to active duty

Cassandra must be one of these and the fact that she is at a recovery station must mean that she was injured
