| Re: Okay, so I have a question | |

In Response To: Re: Okay, so I have a question (Frankie) : Yes, there will be. Or more accurately, there is one, there has been for ages : and we'll roll it out in the piece of fiction it's necessarily attached : to. But it will get worse before it gets better. ;-) Interesting. If you don't mind me asking, what piece of the fiction might that be? This is one area that the franchise has been weak in terms of consistency, and I'm glad that you and your colleagues at 343 Industries not only have an answer, but it will eventually be made public. Well done. As for the dead SPARTAN-IIs' in Legends, there was Solomon, Arthur, Cal, Daisy, Ralph, and those two unnamed ones who committed suicide. That gives a total of 4 proper SPARTAN-IIs', plus Ralph, who is some kind of wash-out, as was alluded to in another thread, and the undetermined 2 young SPARTANs'. Were they also wash-outs in the same vein as Ralph, or would they have been proper Spartans? If there were subjects being rejected from the program due to similar reasons that Ralph was, plus escapes and suicides, how did Dr. Halsey address the problem? Was Class-I larger than we have been told, or were dead and/or rejected members like we see in Homecoming replaced with other, undisclosed subjects? In other words, was there a kind of "back-up" group of SPARTAN-IIs' whose purpose was to compensate for escapees, early deaths, and KIAs'/MIAs' during the war? Just going by all the characters introduced to the present that reached active duty, there are 35, not 33, and going by the fact that there were 75 subjects out of 150, and a total of 42 were lost from the augmentation process, that still leaves 33 Spartans, not 35. Have these numbers been revised, or were some of the "rejects/wash-outs" somehow resuscitated, brought back, or were some them not truly rejects that were labelled as such for as-yet unspecified purposes, and separated from the main group for similar purposes? The only explanation I can think of is that some of these earlier numbers are only rough, initial ideas, substitutes for the real information, which has yet to be released. Going further, my conclusion is that the numbers of Spartans that made it through to active duty is greater than 33, despite what has been said. I just can't imagine how else the problem can be resolved. I look forward to seeing this information when it is released. It will really help the consistency of the information.
