Though the ORION operatives continued to prove their effectiveness, some of the older conscripts began to exhibit flaws which were passed off as natural defects or stress from the war. Many ORION candidates exhibited post-traumatic stress disorder or repressed insurgent sympathies; some in the latter category refused to participate in the program post-augmentation and were incarcerated.{{Ref/Reuse|journal}} Despite the nominal effectiveness of the ORION soldiers, the results of the ORIONs' abilities were falling short of the scientists' hopes. Because of the candidates's age and inadequate genetic screening for specific genetic sequences, the genetic modifications led to minimal improvement and the inserted immunosuppressants failed in most of the subjects. This caused irreversible genetic fragmentation and degenerative conditions in many of the ORION personnel.<ref name="halsey">'''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]''', ''February 15, 2511''</ref> | Though the ORION operatives continued to prove their effectiveness, some of the older conscripts began to exhibit flaws which were passed off as natural defects or stress from the war.

Despite the improvements to strength, speed, vision, agility, and reaction speed the more modest results of ORION meant that it was difficult to tell a former ORION operative from other soldiers in the UNSC or CMA without an in-depth medical examination.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=65}} | |||
