Jai-006

An orphan, Jai was conscripted into the SPARTAN-II program in 2517. When he was told that he had been conscripted, Jai attempted to escape the compound but was grabbed hold of by one of the trainers. Over the next 5 months, he would constantly attempt to escape with Adriana-111. The trainers, after suffering broken ankles, lost eyes, fingers, and toes, chose to shoot them with darts from the troop bays of Pelicans.

He was eventually sent to meet with Dr. Catherine Halsey. Upon telling her that he wanted to go home, she showed him a dart that induced neural paralysis, meaning that he would forget everything about the SPARTAN-II program. She informed him that when he would wake up, he would find himself in a city with no memories of the last five months. However, he was also told that it reacted badly to children, erasing their entire memories. Continuing her speech, she went deeper into his head and began asking him how he would feel if he forgot Adriana, who he seemed to like a lot, sneaking out with her every night and telling him that the people at his orphanage didn't even notice his disappearence (this may be because the Spartans were replaced with flash clones). This discouraged him from making any more escape attempts, for a few minutes anyway.

The night after the discussion with Dr. Halsey, Jai tried to escape one last time, but when he met back up with Adriana, he suddenly had a change of heart and the two of them went back to base. The next day, Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez introduced Jai and Adriana to Mike, who admitted to stealing a Pelican by himself and blowing it up when the UNSC came after him. These three later became Gray Team, a renegade squad that preferred to be far from the chain of command, but deeply enjoyed fighting the Rebels and the Covenant behind their own lines. After the augmentation, he became leader of Grey Team
