Cleanup
God. Im going to take a couple hours after classes tomorrow and clean this article up. Starting with adding a link to her father, who is only mentioned in passing. --Vlad3163 16:55, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Age
Do we have a source for her year of birth? Since what Evil Otto said yesterday, the fact that she was a SPARTAN-II candidate (albeit not selected) puts her into conflict with fellow class-II SPARTAN Yasmine Zaman, who we judged (I can't remember exactly how) to have been born around 2531.--  Fore  run  ner '' 11:15, 20 April 2011 (EDT)


 * I think the only possible way we could reconcile the canon is that she wasn't a S-II candidate, but a S-III candidate. I haven't been through the ilb material for a while - how often does it specifically state SPARTAN-II? Given what we know now, I think it possible she was targeted by the S-III Program. --  Specops306   Autocrat     Qur'a 'Morhek   18:40, 20 April 2011 (EDT)
 * Everyone forgot about this from ILB, I guess. — subtank  18:44, 20 April 2011 (EDT)

Somewhat on a tangent, but I did find a quote from Halsey I've listed here here where she says S-II lasted only a single generation, or least that she wasn't involved with it if it happened. But it got lost in the move... Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 19:41, 20 April 2011 (EDT)


 * The only explanation I can think of is that S-II Class-II (since it's apparently canon now) was more flexible than the first class, something akin to the Spartan-III companies. They may have conscripted the candidates in at least two distinct batches. That, or maybe the pool of candidates was from a wider age group (like in the S-III program), though it seems odd they'd conscript a two-year old.


 * As for Halsey's comment about her program only lasting for a single generation, if we ignore the fact this is found in an easter egg where most references are to real-world subjects, perhaps Class-II wasn't under Halsey's supervision and thus wasn't "her" program. Maybe she didn't even know about it. Indeed, this seems likely considering she never references it in the novels. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 04:57, 21 April 2011 (EDT)
