...Spartans never die.

About Me


deep in the heart of autumn
were silent spaces for fifty
of the ones that need no name
from this celestial bough
all but one did fall into
the pitiless fires of reach
a soldier's ignominy
to have dreamt while brothers bled
but oh, for the rest of us
his shame was our salvation
- unknown author, late 26th century
She turned to Cortana and stared into her odd translucent
eyes. "You've read his CSV?"
"I'm reading it again right now."
"Then you know he is neither the smartest nor the fastest nor the strongest of the Spartans. But he is the bravest-and quite possibly the luckiest. And in my opinion, he is the best."
"Yes." Cortana whispered. "I concur with your analysis, doctor."
-Halo: The Fall of Reach, Pg. 237
The Captain considered Silva's words, then nodded. "You make some valid points Major. What you and your 'honest to god' Marines have accomplished on this butte is nothing short of miraculous."
"However, I can't agree with your conclusions regarding the Master Chief or the Spartan program. First, it's importanat to understand that what makes the Chief so effective isn't WHAT he is, but WHO he is. His record is not the result of technology-not because of what they've done to him but IN SPITE of what they've done to him, and the pain he has suffered."
-Halo: The Flood, Pg. 133-134
Linda's medical record winked on a display along with the entire Spartan roster: a long list of every Spartan's current operational status. Only a handful was left, almost every one of them listed as WOUNDED IN ACTION or MISSING IN ACTION.
"No KIA's?" Dr. Halsey murmured. She touched SPARTAN-034's entry. "Sam is listed as missing in action. Why would that be? He died in 2525?"
"ONI Section Two Directive Nine-Three-Zreo," Cortana replied "When ONI first went public with the SPARTAN-II program, it was decided that the reports of Spartan losses could cause a crippling loss of morale. Consequently, any Spartan casualties are listed as MIA or WIA, in order to maintain the illusion that Spartans do not die."
"Spartans never die?" she whispered. Dr. Halsey swiveled out of the contoured chair and pushed the monitors out of her way with a sudden violence. "If only that were true."
-Halo: First Strike, Pg. 249
"Die?" Kurt laughed. "Didn't you know?" he told the Elite.
"...Spartans never die."
Kurt turned his gauntlet face-up and pressed the detonator.
-Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Pg. 372
