===Interview with Benjamin Giraud=== | ===Interview with Benjamin Giraud=== | ||
In [[2558]], ONI had a man claimed to be Mendez provide an interview regarding the Master Chief for journalist [[Benjamin Giraud]] in ONI's [[Boston]] headquarters. Like the other sources ONI had provided for Giraud, "Mendez" adhered to the sanitized public version of the Spartan-IIs' background, centered on glorifying John's heroism and omitting any mention of his age or life before his [[SPARTAN-II training|training]]. When Giraud attempted to approach the topic from a more critical angle, his interviewee rather unambiguously advised him not to press the issue so as to avoid turning the conversation "decidedly unpleasant".<ref>'''[[Hunt the Truth]]''', ''Episode 5: OUT OF TIME''</ref>{{Ref/Note|It is | In [[2558]], ONI had a man claimed to be Mendez provide an interview regarding the Master Chief for journalist [[Benjamin Giraud]] in ONI's [[Boston]] headquarters.

''[[Lessons Learned]]'' and ''[[Halo: Legacy of Onyx]]'' establish that Mendez was consistently stationed at Onyx as part of his role as the facility's head of security during the emergence of the Guardians in 2558. Additionally, ''Legacy of Onyx'' shows Mendez remained troubled over his part in the Spartan programs, making it questionable he would so readily perpetuate ONI's narrative regarding the Spartan-IIs - or that ONI would summon him to Earth from his duties at Onyx only to have him provide a relatively brief interview in the first place.}} | ||
