:I agree. An appearance, however indirect, should constitute more than just a mention of a given group of people or objects. For example, in ''Glasslands'', when Dr. Halsey mentions meeting a team of Spartans previously unknown to her on Reach, it's an clearly allusion to NOBLE Team. Despite this, it doesn't really qualify as an appearance of every individual member of the team, as they aren't mentioned by name or described in any way. The same is true to the SPARTAN-IIs: ''The Fall of Reach'' mentions them as a group several times, but it's ultimately pointless to list this as an appearance of every one of them, especially given how most of them hadn't even been thought up at the time the book was written. Similarly, we're not listing [[Antonio Silva]] or most of the characters unique to ''The Flood'' as appearing in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', even though they were on the ''Pillar of Autumn'' and Installation 04 at the time. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 00:46, 2 April 2012 (EDT) | :I agree.

== All from Outer Colonies? == | |||
A number of sources say that every SII was taken from families in the Outer Colonies. Jorge however is from Reach, an Inner Colony. Is he the exception to the this rule or am I missing something?--[[User talk:Soul reaper|Soul reaper]] 05:08, 11 June 2012 (EDT) | |||
