In Response To: Re: Also (Louis Wu)

: Does it SURPRISE you that they match up? Why WOULDN'T they label it something
: that fits with the overall universe (without needing it to actually be
: part of the storylines)?

: A better question would be 'why, if Reach is where the vast majority of
: Spartan training occurred, and Reach is where the major military center of
: the human space presence is, would a moon of MARS be used for training the
: Spartans? Why risk bringing the entire Spartan crew that close to the
: human homeworld if you don't HAVE to?'

If, as I suggested in the Chiron TL34 thread, Col. Ackerson is behind the Spartan CLONE Training Complex, then a moon/asteroid/base located in Mars' orbit, if that is where TL34 is located, would be a good location for Ackerson's "secret" project. Ackerson is told to be on the UNSC High Command, which is located in Sydney, Australia (Earth), on page 98 of FS. Being that he has a primary position of command, which is located on Earth, then why not have his "secret" project (Spartan Clones) located on Mars. If, indeed, Ackerson is behind a Spartan cloning program, then I believe Ackerson would see Reach as a bad location for the following reasons, among others: Reach is where Dr. Halsey, ONI, and the original Spartans II's are mainly located/train, and Ackerson’s own analysis (S-III file, p.130 FS) of the symbols found on the alien artifact from Cote d’ Azur, the same artifact that got off a partial transmission to a Covenant ship, gave the coordinates to the Epsilon Eridani system (REACH). For these reasons, I think Ackerson would see Reach as a last resort for his pet project.

: There's nothing in Halo, in Fall of Reach, in The Flood, in First Strike,
: that gives any credence whatsoever to a training center on a Mars
: satellite... so why WOULDN'T you think that it's just something come up
: with on the spur of the moment by one of the guys responsible for filling
: the multiplayer text boxes?

"Li was the team's zero-gee combat specialist. He had trained extensively with microgravity equipment and martial arts at the UNSC's estreme-conditions facility on Chiron in orbit arout Mars. (p.217, FS)"

This quote, taken from the FS, gives credit to there being a training center in Mars' orbit, and it adds to the argument that the MP maps (Chiron = Chiron TL34, possibly) are related to the storyline... in some way.

:I guess I'm done trying to convince you
: that you're basing your theory on some pretty weak evidence... I don't
: have anything concrete I can counter with, so I'll simply bow out.

I hope that statement isn't a blow to me, because I was rather enjoying our conversation:)
