*If what Giraud was seeing at the end was a disguised ONI facility, it seems odd to me that it would be disguised. ONI wasn't exactly secretive about its base in New Mombasa, with its great cube of ominousness. Or that he wasn't escorted inside; obviously ONI doesn't want people mistaking the place for an actual school and walking in. | *If what Giraud was seeing at the end was a disguised ONI facility, it seems odd to me that it would be disguised.

*Giraud seems to have had some measure of PTSD after surviving New Mombasa, hence his vacation. Hopefully we'll get details soon about how he got out. And apparently Petra was there too, who knew. | *Giraud seems to have had some measure of PTSD after surviving New Mombasa, hence his vacation. Hopefully we'll get details soon about how he got out.

:I find it increasingly unlikely that ONI doesn't know damn well what Giraud has been digging up the whole time, and that this series is going to lead up to the full declassification of the Spartan-II Project - but on ONI's terms, by framing it as a cover-up ''from'' ONI by internal renegades like Parangosky, Ackerson and, yes, Halsey. The narrative of individuals being held solely responsible has already been established there. And yes, the damage to ONI will be not inconsiderable. But being able to discredit what they perceive to be a threat-in-waiting by telling the public that the Master Chief, the salvation of Earth and Her Colonies, is more machine now than man is going to have a significant impact on those who would otherwise have been willing to follow his lead. And it allows ONI to look good by airing their own dirty laundry and "investigating" it, which presumably is where Agent Locke comes in. The IIs and IIIs aren't going to like it, there can't be many of them left by now - we know a handful of IIs, including Blue and Naomi, survived; whatever MJOLNIR-equipped III teams survived Reach; and however many Gamma Company members survived whatever they were deployed to during late 2552, which may very well have been Reach. The IVs are the fresh start - can't have a clean slate without wiping it clean first. The IVs even continue the Headhunter tradition of two-man teams for high-risk low-survivability ops, which I would definitely class taking out IIs and IIIs as. A Stalinist purge of "internal threats" on a superhuman level.-- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 05:41, 20 April 2015 (EDT) | |||
