| '''Posttraumatic vocal disarticulation''' is a psychological condition involving a [[Human|human being]]'s ability to speak. After experiencing extreme stress or trauma, a person diagnosed with this condition is rendered completely unable to speak, even if there is no physical injury to their vocal chords.<ref name="goo27">'''Halo: Ghost of Onyx''', ''page 27''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''pages 144-145''</ref> After extended periods of silence an individual suffering from posttraumatic vocal disarticulation may experience significant difficulty speaking coherently even if they overcome the condition on a psychological level.<ref name="glass">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 329''</ref> | | '''Post-traumatic vocal disarticulation''' is a [[human]] condition involving the vocal chords of a human being. After a period of extreme stress or trauma, a person diagnosed with this condition is rendered completely unable to speak, even if there is no catastrophic injury to their actual vocal chords. It is unclear if this condition is physical, or if it is merely psychological caused by very traumatic events. However, the words "post-traumatic" may point to it being psychological, as [[Lucy-B091]] was one of the two other surviving [[SPARTAN-III Program|SPARTAN-III]] personnel in [[Beta Company|her company]] of 300 after [[Operation: TORPEDO]]. The other 298 were all killed in a huge explosion, which shook her terribly.<ref>'''Halo: Ghost of Onyx''', ''page 27''</ref> |

| [[SPARTAN-III program|Spartan-III]] supersoldier [[Lucy-B091]] was diagnosed with this condition at age 12 after [[Beta Company|her company]] was killed in [[Operation: TORPEDO]], leaving her and [[Tom-B292]] as the only survivors out of 300. This shook her terribly and she would remain silent for years afterward.{{Ref/Reuse|goo27}} Lucy later overcame the condition as a result of an intense fit of rage, restoring her ability to speak, though she would remain relatively quiet.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''page 330'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | |
