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. | The other theory is it’s Jorge from Halo: Reach.

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 | Though to make one or the other work, the other story needs an alternative.

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. | Personally I think it’s more likely that Jorge is the fifth, but there is the issue of the other squads.

:Black Team isn't counted in the 33, they were supposed to be part of those who died during augumentations.

::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. | |||
