Where'd that picture come from? Spartan 144 "Nicholas"

It looks like Jonners made it. --Dragonclaws 06:44, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I found it and put it there. User:Joshua 029

You know, and maybe it's just me, but doesn't she make you think of Sniper Wolf from Metal Gear Solid? Loner, female with exceptional praise from men on her team, snipes like a painter. Just Another Face 17:49, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

The connection can definetly be made, although Wolf doesn't seem to get the same level of praise from her teammates (Liquid seemingly holds her in a degree of contempt and Ocelot, at least in the remake, seemingly finds her 'kinky'). Meh. Wolf is a far more developed character at least (lynched).--Hawki 12:54, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Picture

Is this picture sourced? I can't find any sourcing for this picture. --Elite Emperor 18:26, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

It's fanart but it's been approved. Arby116

That may be so, but where is the canonical mentioning of a scar running down the right side of Linda's face? 134.50.3.202 23:08, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Linda dies in "the Babysitter".

IS that linda who dies she is the sniper of all the spartans so I think so.

no its Cal-141--Charliekrad 11:05, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

Hmm...

Could it be possible Linda's the one reloading the sniper rifle in the trailer for Reach?

No on two accounts:

1. Linda was fighting in the space op at the time
2. Unless Linda is secretly a man, it cannot be her.

Dead at the Fall of Reach

Was Linda dead by the end of Halo: The Fall of Reach? I mean like dead dead dead. Totally and 100% dead? And with the advanced technology of the 26th century they were able to bring her back to life in Halo: First Strike? Or was she on the verge of death? Because I thought it was the latter, but after reading a couple talk pages, I'm starting to think some people thought differently. Vegerot (talk) 11:21, 31 July 2011 (EDT)!!!

The latter. She was clinically dead; her heart had stopped, but she was in a position to be revived if given immediate medical attention. As she was unable to receive immediate medical attention, John stuck her in cryo until such a time came. - Halo-343 (Talk) 11:27, 31 July 2011 (EDT)

Scanned

Was that girl who got called right before augmentations Linda? Yoonhyuk-740 09:24PM, 19 November 2012 (EST)

Don't know, there's no identification on her, the tattoo of her SPARTAN tag isn't visible, so we can only guess for now. Col. Snipes450 21:35, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

The intercom calls out an ID number, but it sounds more like it's saying "018" (which is Kirk - a man). It's possible that it actually says "058" (Linda) - it's really difficult to hear it clearly. It's also possible that they meant to say Linda's number but made a mistake. The woman who steps forward matches Linda's description, which would support it being her.-- Rusty - 112 22:29, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

After listening to the trailer with my headphones I'm certain that the moderator calls for "Zero-Five-Eight". It's definitely her. --Courage never dies. 23:04, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

Is She Player Two in Halo 1 and 2?

Since in the beginning of Halo CE Player Two emerges from the second tank, are they playing as Linda? Irockz 23:06, 2 November 2012 (EDT)

No, Linda never went to the surface of Installation 04, as canonically she was clinically dead and in cryostasis. The cooperative aspect of the Campaign is just for gameplay and isn't canon.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 23:10, 2 November 2012 (EDT)

And the second player also sounds and grunts like a man, because he's also the Chief.--Ender the Xenocide 00:18, 3 November 2012 (EDT)

Homeworld

Okay, so her homeworld has been established less than 24 hours, and I'm forced to call "fail" on 343's part. According to Halo Wars, Verent was colonized by the UNSC Spirit of Fire in 2520. Linda, however, was born in 2511, nine years before the planet was colonized. This could easily be explained that her parents were colonists who traveled on the Spirit of Fire and she grew up on Verent. However, she was abducted in 2517, three years before Verent was colonized in 2520. -- SFH (talk) 15:52, 10 November 2014 (EST)

"20 July 2520

Captain Alexander, the last civilian captain of the Spirit of Fire, retires from active duty at the conclusion of the Verent mission. The ship is requisitioned by the UNSC and scheduled for refit."

While I also thought it was an error at first, Halo Wars doesn't explicitly say that Verent was originally colonized by Spirit of Fire. Though that was obviously Ensemble's intention, the phrasing is ambiguous enough for its meaning to be retconned quite easily. Maybe Spirit was sent there for disaster relief or something of the sort. Granted, I'm not excusing the obvious error, but at least there's a bit of canonical wiggle room. --Our vengeance is at hand. (Talk to me.) 16:50, 10 November 2014 (EST)

I agree with Braidenvl. "Verent mission" could mean any number of things. A colony ship could perform a number of tasks beyond establishing colonies, such as emergency relief, or assisting in an existing colony's expansion and growth.-- Rusty-112 Admin ^comm 18:35, 10 November 2014 (EST)
