I have a question I hope someone can answer, what happened to the rest of the 300 kids that were taken, they all went through boot camp but only half their number were selected for the augmentation process, they couldn't have been returned to there homes so perhaps there training continued separate from the rest of the spartans. They would'nt be able to use the Mjolnir armor but could still be an effective fighting force if the training was aloud to continue, I currently dont have my copy of FoR so I cant check, | |||

Not quite, for the SPARTAN-II there was only 150 candidates, and due due budgets only 75 got to the training, and half of these (supposedly) dies in augmentation. I think. [[User talk:Excalibur-117|Excalibur-117]] 13:41, February 28, 2010 (UTC) | |||

In [[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], Catherine Halsey agrees to make the SPARTAN-II program public on the condition that the origins of the SPARTAN-II's are kept top secret.

This just occurred to me yesterday night. Just a theory at this stage. What if the 30 SPARTAN-II's killed during the augmentation process were not killed, but were siphoned off by ONI for other purposes, but listed them killed? Maybe a percentage were actually killed, but ONI decided to make the numbers greater so that some might be completely black? Of course, that would involve Dr. Halsey to have colluded with ONI, or to have been in the dark about it. Again, this is just a theory. --[[User talk:Ant80|Ant80]] 19:49, 9 March 2009 (UTC) | This just occurred to me yesterday night. Just a theory at this stage.

::...although on further thought, it could be both. We need two groups of reinforcements to fix the numbers; one group to bring them up from <=16 to 25 for the briefing in FoR, and another group unknown to Halsey to bring them up to 30 following the briefing. The first group could be the ones who were crippled. That assumes that Jorge-052 is one of the 30, though, and it still doesn't explain Ralph-303's tag or Yasmine Zaman's existence. --[[User talk:Andrew Nagy|Andrew Nagy]] 07:15, February 12, 2010 (UTC) | |||

Ok just a little confused here and hoping someone can explain this to me bc i cant seem to. Regardless which of the 3 Spartans are missing (Halo War's Red Team, Grey Team, Black Team), it is safe to say that 052 was not among them, meaning he was part of the Spartan mission to capture the Covenant leadership. Therefore, he should be aboard the Pillar when Red Team left to defend the generators. First Strike keeps track of those Spartans and how many die (even if all the KIA arn't mentioned by name). so tell me, how did a S-II get hooked up to Noble? | |||

To be seriously honest here, please do not make multiple revertions (Yes, that's a neologism) if you think a user's contribution is wrong, '''''start a talk page discussion'''''... and this is especially towards ECHOSTREAMJOSH. SPARTAN-IIs do not have any choice to not be a SPARTAN-II. If they do, why were they in the program? To say '''''"The discharged section is for "Spartans who became too wounded to continue active service after failed augmentation procedures.""''''' is just a poor reasoning. We do not know what happened to Ralph-303 after he returned to Halsey's halls of terror. What we do know is that years after their failed escape, Daisy became a SPARTAN and Ralph became a Marine. Now, using established information, those who successfully augmented became SPARTAN-IIs and those who didn't (by means of suffering injuries/deformities) are left to ONI. A candidate might not suffer any major deformities or major injuries, but he/she could have not been fully augmented like the rest of their peers as Halsey hoped they would. In other words, the augmentation was a failure and it didn't transformed the candidates into super-soldiers.

We do not know what happened to Ralph-303 after he returned to Halsey's halls of terror. What we do know is that years after their failed escape, Daisy became a SPARTAN and Ralph became a Marine.

== Spartan Count Theory == | |||
Assuming the Halo Wars timeline is right, 25 of the 28 surviving S-IIs were at Reach. If 33 survived augmentation minus 3 from Gray team, you have 5 KIA/MIA/WIA. Sam, Randall, and Shelia are all KIA/MIA from the novels, and we know what happened with Kurt. That leaves one more, and I have two scenarios. | |||
The first is that it’s Maria from Armor Testing. This would explain her retiring. At some point she was too wounded to continue efficiently with the S-IIs so she was discharged. Given all the other S-IIs were away or in combat, she’d be the only human who could possibly test MJOLNIR armor without dying. | |||
The other theory is it’s Jorge from Halo: Reach. How would an S-II end up with a squad of S-IIIs who barely survived Alpha and Beta company’s operations? It’s possible he was injured to where he wasn’t fit to continue with the S-IIs and was left to fight with some of the remaining S-IIIs. | |||
Though to make one or the other work, the other story needs an alternative. For Maria, it’s possible she was one of the 12 Spartans who were injured during augmentation. She may have been well enough for a chance at recovery and recovered enough to test the Mark VI, since she’d be the only one who could do it. Also, it’s possible Jorge was on Reach, got separated from Red Team during the battle, and regrouped with (or helped form) Noble Team. | |||
Personally I think it’s more likely that Jorge is the fifth, but there is the issue of the other squads. Let’s assume Halo Legends isn’t canonical on the subject of Spartan KIAs (since a lot of the situations just aren’t possible) and the squad from Halo Wars managed to make it back to Reach by 2552. As for Black Team I don't have the foggiest clue since the story of Blood Line isn't finished yet. Though combine this with the Halo Wars timeline on the 25 remaining Spartans and I believe we finally have some logical consistency in the Spartan count. | |||
Also, flipping back through Fall of Reach it says there were 2 dozen Spartans plus the Chief before the Battle of Reach, 3 who were away (Gray Team), 3 KIA and 1 wounded. This total is 32 (not the full 33), but that makes no mention of MIA one way or the other. This MIA could either be Kurt or Randall, the other of which being the third KIA. Either way, the consistency fits. | |||

::Even better. What I'm saying may not be 100% true (and most of it isn't exactly new speculation), but I think when you look at the numbers this way then things work out (unless you consider Halo Legends as canon, which I don't). Maybe if Bonfire, the studio that came out from the Ensemble closing, is working on a Halo Wars sequel we can find out how Douglas, Jerome, and Alice made it back. My guess is ONI wanted to keep the flood a secret, which is why word about it wouldn't get out when Spirit of Fire made it back to civilization. | |||

The decision makes sense, I guess, but looking at the page now it's clearly under what it should be. There aren't any quotes from Spartans like Kelly or Kurt, both major characters who lack thier own quote pages. The same problem occurs with Halsey, this does need to be fixed.[[User:Tuckerscreator|'''Tuckerscreator''']] 04:15, March 23, 2010 (UTC) | |||
