It provides an explanation for the inconsistent numbers of Spartans, particularly involving those not present during the [[Operation: RED FLAG]] briefing. Halsey states, "That lie about all the Spartans gathered here, save for [[Gray Team|Gray]] - will that come back to haunt me?" Halsey notes that the bodies of the candidates who were killed during the augmentation procedures were placed in cryo-stasis, with the possibility that they may some day be resuscitated, though they appeared to be buried in space. She also notes that at least some of the candidates who were crippled could some day be rehabilitated and sent to active duty.

The journal also confirms that Dr. Halsey was aware of the existence of SPARTANs who were "not [hers]" well before the events of ''[[Halo: First Strike]]''. She and [[Kalmiya]] had uncovered numerous ONI documents and encrypted files that suggested the existence of [[SPARTAN-III program|another SPARTAN program]] after the {{UNSCShip|Hopeful}} was deployed outside the Epsilon Eridani system for a week, carrying various [[Project CHRYSANTHEMUM|"carcinogenic", "mutanogenic", and "experimental" drugs]]. Upon his return, [[Admiral]] [[Ysionris Jeromi]] informed her that he knew little of what was going on, and could tell her nothing. Finally, Halsey reveals that her suspicions of other SPARTANS were confirmed when she met [[Noble Team]] at [[Sword Base]]. Later, at [[CASTLE Base]], she discovered that they, with the exception of [[Jorge-052]], had been SPARTAN-IIIs.
