In ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', during [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Halsey's]] briefing to the Spartans assembled for [[Operation: RED FLAG]], she mentions that among those not present is one Spartan who had (within the last decade) been too critically wounded to continue active duty.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', page ''240''</ref> It is possible that this wounded Spartan was Maria, whose absence allowed her to avoid the [[Fall of Reach]], and that she had healed adequately by October 2552 to test the Mark VI MJOLNIR armor.
