'''Maria-062''' is a [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II supersoldier]]. She claimed that, at some point during the [[Human-Covenant War]], she had retired with the intent of starting a family.<ref>'''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]''', "[[Armor Testing]]", ''page 68''</ref> | |||

Prior to the [[Battle of Earth]] in [[2552#October|October 2552]], Maria tested the new Mark VI MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor in [[Seongnam]], [[United Korea]]. | |||
After the exercise, the armor was approved for battle and was delivered to the [[orbital defense platform]] ''[[ | She fought against a squad of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s from the [[340th ODST Combat Training Unit]] with [[Tactical Training Round]]s in a mock battle near the [[Special Warfare Center]]. After the exercise, the armor was approved for battle and was delivered to the [[orbital defense platform]] ''[[Cairo Station]]''. There, it was issued to [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]].<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Armory]]'' | ||

Prior to the [[Fall of Reach]], one of the SPARTAN-IIs had been wounded too critically to continue active duty.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', page ''240''</ref> It is possible that this wounded Spartan was Maria and that she did not participate in the Fall of Reach, though she may have been sufficiently rehabilitated by October 2552 to test the Mark VI MJOLNIR armor. However, the 'too-wounded' Spartan might have been [[Naomi-010]], who later served in ONI's [[Kilo-Five]] team deployed to [[Sanghelios]]. | |||
It is far more likely, however, that her retirement, (at least her intent to start a family), was a ruse and that she served with the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] despite no longer actively serving with her fellow SPARTAN-IIs. The only SPARTAN-II who is known to have retired, (as opposed to Maria's unsubstantiated claim), was [[Ralph-303]], who was discharged due to psychological instability and physical problems caused by later augmentation procedures. Following Ralph's precedent, it is also possible that Maria was one of twelve "washouts" who were crippled by the augmentations; [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] was confident that at least some of the "washouts" could be rehabilitated and redeployed, so it is possible that Maria was rehabilitated. | |||
