 * I would assume that there is a storage device to handle waste to be safely disgarded without the user taking apart the armour. Or, they just hold it in really long.--  Fore  run  ner '' 16:36, 14 February 2011 (EST)


 * Like Her Majesty The Queen and the rest of the British Royal Family, SPARTAN's do not possess the capability nor the need to spread disease.


 * Just like with astronauts today, it would simply stored to a container where later it could be thrown out. They wouldn't want to throw it it out right away, though, because that's genetic data the Covenant could easily use to trace them. Frankie also mentioned that the suit additionally possesses filters that allows any urine to become safely drinkable. The actual act? As Tony Stark once put it: "Just like that."

 * Actually, I recall reading a Game Informer (or some gaming magazine) that was interview Frank O'Connor. In the interview, Frank described different components of the MJOLNIR Mark VI. Apparently, it does have a storage system, but it also filters it into drinkable water for the user. Whether or not this was a tongue-in-cheek response or serious is debatable (everything else in the article seemed legit or already proven true). But there you have it.

It seemed plausible. We have machines today that can actually do that. Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 15:47, 15 February 2011 (EST)


 * Huh, you know what? I never noticed you said the same thing, Tuckerscreator. Didn't mean to rehash what you said. I never really doubted the idea. I just recall watching some program years ago where someone filtered their urine extensively to drinkable levels, and while nothing bad happened, he remarked that it was far from tasty.16:21, 15 February 2011 (EST)XRoadToDawnX

But how would they store fecal matter? There doesn't seem to be room for it unles the armor compacts it; and then there doesn't seem to be a device for that. --Felix-119 17:33, 15 February 2011 (EST)


 * Just what you said, compacted, then thrown away once back in a friendly area. It would be much better than leaving it lying around, where the Covenant could use it to trace them. Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 18:31, 15 February 2011 (EST)


 * Plus, the average person can last a pretty considerable amount of time without food, a supersoldier likely longer. Be pretty safe to assume they would limit how much food they would take in pre-mission to mitigate the issue. XRoadToDawnX 22:42, 15 February 2011 (EST)
