I was under the impression that their drive (desire) to have Sex was supressed (decreased, not out in the open, especially when in danger) -- Not supressing their ability to have sex (i.e. tampering with ovaries or removing testicles) --{{unsigned|MLG Cheehwawa|at 17:01, 8 April 2007.}}

:The Spartan's sexual rive was surpressed, but they are still physically able to have children, unless they were somehow crippled during the augmentation. Physically they are capable, but they lack the desire to have families. Maria may be an exception. --<b>[[User:ED|<font color="000000">ED</font>]]<sub>([[User talk:ED|<font color="000000">talk</font>]])</sub><sup>[http://halofanon.wikia.com/wiki/Halo:_Shock_Front<font color="000000">(shockfront)]</font></sup></b> 22:04, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

:::I had an idea. What if ONI section 3 or whatever wanted to test whether the spartan's augmentations would be passed on (I mean, I know the whole thing about scars and stuff, but these augmentations WERE actually to their genes, and genes ARE passed down) so anyway, ONI forcefully retired her or something to test it, and maybe once the test was over, she decided she liked a civilian life so much she didn't re-enlist or whatever.[[User:Keyes|Keyes]] 08:26, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I have yet to read ''Mortal Dictata'', however, a friend of mine who owns the book says that Maria isn't mentioned in the page cited here (page 367) used as proof that she washed out. Can a quotation of that sentence be provided? I'd like to see for myself to see if it's really Maria being referred to. They also argue that Maria wouldn't have been able to use MJOLNIR without full augmentations, sounds like she's familiar with the armor (I don't own the Graphic Novel either...), and that if she failed her augmentations then she would retired sooner than 27 years later.

:This is all there is: ''"I won't lie to you. Only one Spartan's ever retired, and that was another one like me who didn't go through the full augmentation process, but most ended up MIA or KIA anyway."'' I was a bit curious about this too. When I read that bit Maria was the first thing that came to my mind, but she seems to be doing just fine in the comic as far as Spartan abilities go, and no one brings up any augmentation failures. What if that throwaway line was actually a hint that the retired Spartan was someone else and that Maria didn't retire after all? Say, [[Ralph-303]]? --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 01:01, 28 January 2014 (EST)
 
Ralph seems more likely to me. I'm going to have to re-check the rerelease of Fall of Reach to see if it sounds like he retired or was kicked out. If Osman were talking about Maria, then her comparison is pretty faulty; few of Osman's augmentations worked while Maria seems to be on the level of any Spartan-II.

::Ralph was switched into the Marine Corps like how Serin was switched into ONI so he didn't retire, but was later killed in action. He probably failed the augmentation, but was left relatively healthy and not crippled[[User:VARGR|VARGR]] ([[User talk:VARGR|talk]]) 13:20, 28 January 2014 (EST)
 
:::Serin's statement is more ambiguous than I originally considered. Occam's razor told me that she was talking about Maria, though Ralph also makes sense. The best course of action is to retool [http://www.halopedia.org/index.php?title=Maria-062&oldid=1005295 this revision] by adding a note about the passage in ''Mortal Dictata''. The same goes for Ralph, considering that the Spartan is question very well may be him instead. --[[User:Braidenvl|<span style="color:gray">'''''Our vengeance is at hand.'''''</span>]] [[File:Gravemind.svg|14px]] ([[User talk:Braidenvl|<span style="color:gray">Talk to me.</span>]]) 16:28, 28 January 2014 (EST)
