 * Does it look like the two spartans are wearing Mark V and Mark VI armor, or are they both wearing the same type? -ED 01:43, 15 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I dont know...but that third one...do you think thats a marine or Semi-Powered Infiltration Armor?--JohnSpartan117 06:09, 6 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, that is Mark V and Mark VI armor. Look at the hands as well as helmet designs. And yes, I believe that is SPI. NeoExelor 16:58, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Deduction
We never really identified the Spartans on this cover. Kelly was obvious because she was the only character still wearing the Mark V armor during the events of the novel, but the other two Spartans remained a mystery. We still can't guess who is wearing the SPI armor (there are too many who did, including Kurt). For the Mark VI, we were never able to distinguish between Fred, Linda and Will, since we had always assumed they all got the same basic armor as John did. But... since Fred and Linda got those new fancy armors, that only leaves Will-043 as the wearer of the basic Mark VI armor. Shall we establish it as such and use it as his main image?
