Catherine Halsey/Quotes: Difference between revisions

Line 515:

*"Glassman's taking the bait. The decoy artifact we cobbled together certainly served its purpose."

*"What have you done?! I told you to wait until the artifact was off the ship!"

===Issue 16===

*'''Halsey''': "Where are you taking me? Did [[Serin Osman|Queen Osman]] change her mind again, realize she needs slave labor for another project?"

*'''Palmer''': "First, I work for the UNSC, ''not'' Osman. Second, keep your mouth shut. I'm tempted enough as it is to toss you down a gorge."

*'''Halsey''': "You already took my ''arm''. That wasn't good enough for you?"

*'''Palmer''': "After your ''defection'', public execution might not even cut it."

*'''Halsey''': "It was hardly a defection. I simply embraced the party that wasn't actively trying to ''murder'' me. Under the circumstances, I'd expect you to do the same."

*'''Palmer''': "It's one rationalization after another with you. You're a traitor and a war criminal. That's all there is to it."

*'''Halsey''': "It's awfully ''convenient'' for you to think of me that way - isn't it, Palmer? You can't be that naive. You really think I could have pulled off everything I've been accused of without the full support of ONI? Of the entire UNSC? Consider the resources. The budgets. You think those decisions were made ''unilaterally''? Whether it was a signed form or a wink — they approved it all."

*'''Palmer''': "This armor — this ''job'' — has been ''soiled'' because of ''you''!"

*'''Halsey''': "''Soiled''? I'm the only reason that armor even ''exists''! You can't have it both ways, Commander. Unless, of course, you find the perfect ''scapegoat''. Then spend years rewriting history. Which brings us to your ''master'', Osman."

*'''Palmer''': "I told you, she's not my— Hey!"

:—An argument between Palmer and Halsey before the latter escapes on [[Aktis IV]]

==Quotes about Halsey==

===''Halo: First Strike''===

*"Doctor Halsey and her Spartans deserve the utmost respect, Colonel. And if you wish to keep your newly acquired position on the [[UNSC Security Council|Security Council]], you will show them that respect, or I will personally kick you from here to Melbourne. Those 'freaks' have more confirmed kills than any three divisions of ODSTs and have garnered every major citation the UNSC awards. Those 'freaks' have personally saved my life twice, as well as the lives of most of the senior staff here at HighCom. Keep your bigotry in check, Colonel. Do you understand?" - [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] to [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]] after the latter makes particularly spiteful comments about the SPARTAN-IIs.

===''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''===

*"And for God's sake, Catherine Halsey must never know. Her bleeding-heart sympathies for the Spartans have won her too many admirers at CENTCOM. If that woman wasn't so vital to the war we would have had her retired decades ago." - Vice Admiral Margaret Parangosky concerning the secrecy of the [[SPARTAN-III program]].

===''Halo Wars''===

*"Why mention Halsey here? She hated me and I hated her." - [[Ellen Anders]]
