In ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', during Catherine Halsey's briefing to the Spartans assembled for [[Operation: RED FLAG]], she mentions that among those not present is one SPARTAN-II who was been too critically wounded to continue active duty.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', page ''240''</ref> It is possible that this wounded Spartan was Maria, whose absence allowed her to avoid the [[Fall of Reach]] and afterward having healed enough by October 2552 to test the Mark VI MJOLNIR armor. Other candidates are possible, though, like [[Naomi-010]], who is not known to have been at the Fall of Reach and later served in ONI's [[Kilo-Five]] team deployed to [[Sanghelios]]. | In ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', during Catherine Halsey's briefing to the Spartans assembled for [[Operation: RED FLAG]], she mentions that among those not present is one SPARTAN-II who was been too critically wounded to continue active duty.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', page ''240''</ref> It is possible that this wounded Spartan was Maria, whose absence allowed her to avoid the [[Fall of Reach]] and afterward having healed enough by October 2552 to test the Mark VI MJOLNIR armor.

However, Osman compares the unnamed retired Spartan to herself, as Serin had also failed augmentations. While Osman had not received any physical benefits from the procedure, Maria seems to be at the peak of ability, well enough to use the MJOLNIR powered armor, a system dangerous enough to kill an unaugmented user. Additionally, Maria had not yet retired by October 2552, which raises the question of why she would wait 27 years to retire if she had failed augmentations in 2525. Possible answers include Maria having been one of the crippled Spartans who was later rehabilitated, or Maria having not yet retired by [[2553]] and Osman referring to another Spartan like [[Ralph-303]]. | ||
