On [[2517#September|September 17]] Halsey, writing in her journal, expressed that every child had exceeded the selection criteria and her own expectations.<ref name="HJ91717">''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]'', ''September 17, 2517''</ref> She was particularly impressed by two: [[Linda-058|Number 058]], a girl named [[Linda-058|Linda]] who had engineered her own intelligence network at school to spy on her teachers, John (Number 117), who had won king of the hill forty-five times in the two weeks before their meeting. Halsey noted that [[Caleb Aagard|Number 095]], a boy by the name of [[Caleb Aagard|Caleb]], had never been located. Later that day Halsey added an addendum to her journal entry after [[Retrieval team Gamma]] reported that [[Kelly-087|Number 087]], a girl named [[Kelly-087|Kelly]], had remarkably eluded capture for six hours before coming forward on her own, having believed her capture attempt to be an elaborate game for her upcoming birthday. Gamma's report caused Halsey to ensure new retrieval protocols were implemented to prevent similar mistakes in the future.<ref name="HJ91717"/> The next day, [[2517#September|September 17]], Catherine and Jacob Keyes finally parted company after months together. Halsey felt he was beginning to suspect there was more to their incursions than mere field observations so she requested that he be reassigned both for his own protection and the protection of the program.<ref name="HJ91617">''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]'', ''September 16, 2517''</ref> | Halsey and Keyes had returned to [[Reach]] by [[2517#September|September 10]] and it is on this date that Halsey told [[Déjà]] to let others know she had settled on the final seventy-five subjects.<ref name="HFORBC">''[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]'', ''[[Halo: Fall of Reach - Boot Camp|Boot Camp]]''</ref> Halsey was stationed in low Reach orbit when she gave final approval to kidnap the seventy-four which still remained to be acquired. Halsey later recorded a private spoken journal entry, using [[Encryption code|RED encryption]] and her private key, in which she voiced how regrettable she felt what she was doing was. She had planned to keep the recording private but changed her mind and just had Déjà erase it entirely once she had finished.<ref name="HFORBC"/> On [[2517#September|September 17]] Halsey, writing in her journal, expressed that every child had exceeded the selection criteria and her own expectations.<ref name="HJ91717">''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]'', ''September 17, 2517''</ref> She was particularly impressed by two: [[Linda-058|Number 058]], a girl named [[Linda-058|Linda]] who had engineered her own intelligence network at school to spy on her teachers, John (Number 117), who had won king of the hill forty-five times in the two weeks before their meeting.
