: I'll be really diplomatic and say you're both right.
: He can take off his suit and take a shower, as he did in Halo: First Strike,
: there has just never been a screenshot, or even an image, of the MC
: without the helmet.
: But he very well might be a cyborg; it's been so long since I read the first
: Halo book that I don't remember the exact details, but there would need to
: be some sort of interface to act between the suit/Cortana. That itself
: might be surgically implanted. Even though that itself doesn't warrant the
: term 'cyborg', it's a bit more interesting with the presence of Cortana;
: in many places in the books the presence of Cortana in the suit is felt by
: John-117 in his mind, and the presence of an AI also affects/improves the
: reaction time of the individual using the suit.
: So the question is: if you have any part of machinery assisting your mind,
: does that make you a cyborg in the same way that having a piece of
: machinery assist in your arm/leg/other limb? I'd love to hear other
: peoples thoughts on this as I just came up with it and it's not really
: thought through...
Ok then its not what I had in mind, thats all I needed to know if it says it in the book.
