Content is more of an obituary piece.. needs rewrite.
(Jake Courage is a seemingly fictitious character from a non-canon incarnation of the Halo universe. I guess that makes him meta-non-canon.) |

Traditionally, war photographers use an inbuilt retina camera or helmet-cam; however, Courage preferred more traditional methods that enabled him to have more control over his landscape. He mainly used a Dynamo 507 3D with ultra 4Res lens and quadric digital transfer. The 900 nanosecond transfer rate enabled photos to be transferred back to base instantly. His equipment was always coated in a substance made from titanium and cockroach shell that enabled it to withstand the radiation. It should also be noted that he preferred to shoot in an archaic sepia tone instead of full tonal color. | Traditionally, war photographers use an inbuilt retina camera or helmet-cam; however, Courage preferred more traditional methods that enabled him to have more control over his landscape.

If he did exist, his images would undoubtedly be altered by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s Section Two due to their graphic content. It seems unlikely that any Spartan, especially John-117, would have befriended a civilian. Another case against his being is his surname, "Courage", which suggests that his existence was fabricated for propaganda purposes. | ||
