Dr. Alban expressed severe remorse for his actions in the SPARTAN-II program, calling the entire project "morally indefensible". He considered his actions (or rather, inaction) to be more reprehensible than [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]]'s, on the basis of his insistence that unlike himself, Halsey was devoid of a sense of morality and that the guilt she displayed was only a facade. | Dr. Alban expressed severe remorse for his actions in the SPARTAN-II program, calling the entire project "morally indefensible". He considered his actions (or rather, inaction) to be more reprehensible than [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]]'s, on the basis of his insistence that unlike himself, Halsey was devoid of a sense of morality and that the guilt she displayed was only a facade. In March, [[2532]] Alban committed suicide in a way that he was confident would cause little damage to his brain. He asked [[Vice Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]] to preserve his brain and use it to create an [[artificial intelligence]] that would be used to support and protect SPARTAN-IIs.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 491''</ref> | ||
