"I would kill to get a killionaire... 10 times... digitally."

Okay, so maybe that was a lie. Anyone with any common sense can tell for all intensive purposes, that Six was killed off for dramatic/canon purposes. But you never actually see him die, which leaves a lot to the imagination. So have some fun and come up with a way he could have survived.

Noble Six was believed to have been one of the many countless deaths during and immediately following the Battle of Reach. A probe launched into Covenant territory by ONI intercepted several Covenant transmissions, revealing surprising information.

Noble Six was found to have been actively seeked out during the Battle of Reach by Operatives from within the Covenant Spec Ops hierarchy. The purpose of this group was to track down and capture Human technology judged to be of use to the Covenant. Due to the Prophets public declination of Human technology, the existense of this group is believed to be highly classified, with only several high ranking prophets and Elite Field Marshalls knowing of its existence. The group was charged with the capture of Noble Six due to the Covenants belief that Six possessed several genetic and armor upgrades previously unknown to them.

They are believed to have secretly sent a squad onto Reach to track and capture Spartan B312. Reports of Elites with upgraded Golden Ranger Class armor were reported during the Battle of Reach, but were mostly dismissed to be a trick of the light or a soldiers imagintion. These are now believed to be members of this secretive organization.

As previously mentioned, Noble Six was believed to have perished in battle just after manning a Mass driver in a successful attempt to protect the UNSC Pillar of Autumn as it launched, but is now known to have survived this engagment. After killing many skilled Sangheili warriors, Six was near fatally stabbed through the abdomen with a Type 1 Energy Sword.

Six is now known to have been taken from the battlefield and to have been brought back to health in an attempt to extract knowledge from him. Upon gaining consiousness, he immediately broke out of his restraints, found his armor, and hijacked a Seraph. How he did this is unknown.

His last known location was inside a Slipspace opening heading to an unknown part of the Universe. Due to the sudden and unexpected actions of Spartan B312, the Covenant were unable to track and follow him to his destination. Noble 6's current status and whereabouts are unknown at this time, but is believed to be in hiding. All search efforts have been abandoned at this time due to lack of funding. He is officially marked as MIA.


So, think you can beat that? Flex your creative muscles and see what you can come up with to explain how Noble 6 could have survived Reach.

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

Six wasn't almsot fatally stabbed by a sword, it was an energy dagger dummie.



A Pelican flies overhead, Jun hanging out the back. Sniping the Elite about to stab Six, his Pelican get's shot down and crashes into the remaining Elites. With Jun dead, Six harvests his armor to repair and rebuild the Pelican. Flying to CASTLE Base, Six sees a UNSC frigate crashed into a hillside. Boarding he uses the remains of it's FTL drive to create a strong radio signal over an encrypted signal. He manages to camp out for the rest of the invasion and gets picked up during the Battle of Earth. He arrives in 2553 on Earth and is declared a hero.

5 years and counting on Bungie. I feel old and worthless.

They should remake Halo 1 AGAIN, but this time throw in a big "what-if", Emile doesn't die, and Noble Six goes to Halo. Imagine him and the Master Chief fighting through the Library, or Cortana choosing another man. Could be some serious soap opera -blam!-, d'you know what i'm sayin?

Interesting idea. But how does he survive Reach? Write down your idea on how canon could be changed. It's always good to get your daily dose of creativity in. And yes, I d'know wat ur sayin.

I've been creatively writing as a hobby for over 6 years. Being creative doesn't involve ignoring canonical events to tell your own contrived and convoluted story, it involves working within the barriers of an existing universe to create something that could be seen as a 'realistic' continuation of a set story and adhering to the principles and themes of what you're continuing.

In this case, you can't continue the story of Noble Team because they're all dead. That was the main theme of Reach, as Buingie said, Spartans giving it their all and going down with the planet.

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

I 100% agree. Which is also why I'm now quite confused. Cause previously, you've seemed very much aboard with how Halo 4 was unravelling. At least that was my impresion from a thread a week or so, ago. That said, I'm still a bit unclear of what your opinions are on: the ship Infinity, the concept of in atmosphere, a hovering cryptum, the discription of the Composer, the choice to call the synthetic beings "Prometheans", the ONIs new agenda and capacity, the Spartan IVs, and the reimagined design of almost everything? ...
EDIT: oh, and universe vs galaxy.
Quite a lot of things I don't see as similar to the Halo that once was.

But I guess that belongs in another thread... :P

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

the ship Infinity

I'm relatively apathetic about it right now, I like how they're integrating it into the whole game with multiplayer and Spartan Ops so it should be quite a cool addition. Good to know that we're not going to finish Halo 4 by blowing it up to destroy requiem too since Spartan Ops takes place 6 months after Halo 4 so there's a lot of room for originality there.

the concept of in atmosphere

I'm not really sure what you mean here. PoA on Reach? I do not approve of it, if that's what you're asking.

a hovering cryptum

Makes sense to me. In Ghosts of Onyx, the Slipspace Field Pods seem to have a pretty similar/exactly the same function as a Cryptum and Halsey says that they were designed to be moved about. Seems quite interesting to me.

the discription of the Composer

The Composer opens up a lot of interesting possibilities, I hope they go into further detail about exactly who/what the Composer is.

the choice to call the synthetic beings "Prometheans"

They're constructs of the Promethean Warrior-Servants so it makes sense to do so.

the ONIs new agenda and capacity

I dislike.

the Spartan IVs

I really dislike. Mainly because Gamma Company has been totally ignored and instead this whole new contrived class of Spartans gets the Stormtrooper treatment.

and the reimagined design of almost everything?

I love it. John's new armour looks much better than it did in Halo 3, Cortana's new look allows us to relate to her more and juxtaposing her impending rampancy with the younger, more vulnerable appearance was a good move.

The Covenant look a lot more barbaric and run down now, which I suppose reflects their current state. I'm not as keen on the new Minor helmet, but the Spec-Ops looks pretty intimidating.

The Sniper looks a bit iffy, but other than that the weapons (from what I've seen) look great. I like how they've changed the paint job of some Covenant vehicles to feature more green and blue now.

@ ajw34307: I find it wierd that even if I clearly don't have the same taste as you surrounding the reimagined design (I like that these are blue instead of purple though), I'm somewhat ok with the rest. :)

What I meant with the concept of in atmosphere, was that, from what I have gathered, it has always made out to be quite a big deal whether a ship was capable of withstanding the current gravitational pull, etc, without bendin asunder. But it has never lead to anything. All that emphasis, all that suspense, nothing. No consequences whatsoever. And now with the Infinity, they've made even less a deal of it.

If you look at the ship in the live action teaser, it is hovering at skyscrapers level, and it seems perfectly capale of traveling in and out of various planetiods atmospheres. Even crashing on one, just to rise without a scratch.

I bet it'll all be explained with reverse engineering, but I feel they have pushed it too far. Requiem might even be heavier than earth. Have they completely removed the concept, idk?

When it comes to the Cryptum, aren't those things meant to be static, designed to exile, remain where they were when one entered? I though that was the point of it. In Cryptum (the book), the Didacts only why of being conscious, was through the domain. It was not described as something one navigated with ease; more like a navigating a dream (or have I got that wrong?). He woke up weary as blam. So how come whoever is in it, is fully capale of steering it around, from within the domain? Unless it is possible to be in it without going into Cryptum, if so, why not find another, more capale means of transportation? Either way, doesn't mobility kind of defeat its purpose? Unless it's hijacked. But then again, why would it be capable of moving, at all?

I'm having more or less the same problems understanding the rest, but I guess I'll find a more suitable thread for them.

Oh, and thanks for taking your time with my questions.

Forerunners are capable of generating artificial atmospheres, I'm sure something along those lines will be a suitable explanation.

We only see the actual Cryptum for about a chapter and we're not told of its full capabilities so I wouldn't rule out the mobility factor. It would have to have been moved to get to Earth, along with the War Sphinxes guarding it and it seemed to have some kind of Ancilla controlling its functions so perhaps that was what moves it while the occupant is 'sleeping'.

I do however ask you to ignore the canon and write some fanfic for the fun of it. I csn continue the story because I'm using my imagination. The point of this was to expand beyond the confines of canon.

Cool story bro.

  • user homepage:

Six is a Kryptonian. Six exhibited unusual durability in that battle, even for a Spartan III.

"their bodies are able to absorb and process so much energy that it eventually manifests as vast superhuman powers"

That's how he took all those plasma shots. That's how his AR bursts managed to drain Elite shields so quickly. It wasn't will power (because that's just bs). It was superhuman power.

No man but John 117 can have the title of hyper lethal. So it was decreed. Six ain't human.

Man is born free but everywhere he is in chains.

Well first, Reach's story is supposed to be tragic. The campaign level Exodus should make this painfully obvious. If Noble 6, your personal Spartan, survived then it wouldn't be as dramatic. He's/She's/YOU are supposed to follow Jorge, Kat, Carter, and Emile in dying to save what little bits of Reach's humanity that they can.

To be directly on topic...

Upon gaining consiousness, he immediately broke out of his restraints, found his armor, and hijacked a Seraph. How he did this is unknown.

That's quite a cop out if this thread is supposed to be about coming up with ways that Noble Six survived.

I don't think you took in a word of what I said... -_-

From this, what you're asking is for people to ignore facts and invent some deus ex machina excuse for why Six doesn't die. Nothing you could possibly come up with can make any sense at all. Ever.

Um, ... duh. It doesn't have to make sense. It doesn't have to be canon. You change around the story in such a way that he does survive FOR FUN. I never once said it has to be canon.
