Re: Ghosts of Onyx speculation

In Response To: Ghosts of Onyx speculation (58) : Nylund said that it would tie up a lot of loose ends--I take this to mean : that Halsey, Kelley, Linda, Fred, Will, and possibly the three : "Missing SPARTANs" will make appearances. The cover does nothing : to confirm nor deny these suspicions; there are three SPARTANs, no more : than the minimum number of survivors. : Studdying the cover, it seems as though the SPARTAN closest to the viewer and : the one with the odd armour have a new sort of rifle. I can easily see it : as being the artist's interpretation of the Battle Rifle, but I can also : easily see it as being a completely new weapon. : My conjecture on the odd armour is that it's the Mark IV system, the : unshielded variant used for the first twenty-seven years of conflict up : until the Battle of Reach. Alternatively, it could be a variant of any of : the three battlefield MJOLNIR types with prototype components. : I think that Onyx, perhaps, is the world to which Doctor Halsey departed with : Kelley near the conclusion of First Strike, and that whatever secret : operation that was mentioned on the tentative back-cover is Ackerson's : project. I still don't think the S-III Halsey found stands for : SPARTAN-III; I tend toward "Section III" because that's the : division Ackerson and Halsey were working in. Will, Fred, and Linda could : have been sent to Onyx after arriving on Earth by another O.N.I. member. : If those three don't make an appearance on Onyx(assuming that Onyx is, : indeed, Halsey's destination), then I'm expecting that their stories will : at least be either tied up or set up for Halo 3. My only problems with it being the Mark IV are: 1. Outdated, and 2. I figured it (the Mark IV) looked almost exactly like the Mark V but with minor modifications (such as a larger fusion pack) The reason I say that is because the only way the MC could tell them apart at first was that the Mark V wasnt his because it wasnt all beat up from years of combat.
