I believe COALMINER to be Ackerson, rather than SURGEON. From what we know of S-III, only a few ONI leaders; Kurt; Mendez; the ''Hopeful'' and trainers knew of their existence early on. In his report, COALMINER described Kurt like he has met him; he also fails to mention the project leader - James Ackerson. I am interested by his codename, too. Ackerson happened to work in CASTLE base, a repurposed ''mine''. The two are also on Reach at the same time.-- [[User talk:Forerunner|Forerunner]] 15:43, 18 December 2010 (EST) | I believe COALMINER to be Ackerson, rather than SURGEON.

:I think it's fairly obvious that SURGEON could never be Ackerson, simply because he had survived the war whereas Ackerson did not. The identity of COALMINER could be anyone: we know became aware of the presence of Colonel Holland as Noble Team's caretaker; he seem to have been in the SPARTAN-III Program for quite a while and had shown some faith in the SPARTANs, unlike Ackerson. It might be him.- <font face="Century Gothic">[[User:Subtank|<font color="gold"><font color="#FF4F00">5</font>əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7</font>aŋk</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Subtank|<font color="#FF4F00">7alk</font>]])</sup></font> 15:59, 18 December 2010 (EST) | :I think it's fairly obvious that SURGEON could never be Ackerson, simply because he had survived the war whereas Ackerson did not.

::I decided to discount Holland as the communiqué was sent in the time of Alpha company; the concept of an S-III team being witnessed by non-target humans was NOBLE, which as activated a decade later - their method of insertion at the time was entirely Naval, and an Army branch-out may not have even been dreamed of.-- [[User talk:Forerunner|Forerunner]] 16:13, 18 December 2010 (EST) | |||
