Gamma Company was trained with the help of [[Tom-B292]] and [[Lucy-B091]], the only two known surviving SPARTAN-IIIs from [[SPARTAN-III Beta Company|Beta Company]], as well as [[Senior Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez]] and candidates from the previous companies who had "washed out", becoming drill instructors for the later SPARTAN-IIIs.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', page 98</ref> Not one of the 330 candidates opted out of the program, and at the request of Lieutenant Commander Ambrose, all 330 of those who passed the selection process were approved. <ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', pages 99-100</ref> | Gamma Company was trained with the help of [[Tom-B292]] and [[Lucy-B091]], the only two known surviving SPARTAN-IIIs from [[SPARTAN-III Beta Company|Beta Company]], as well as [[Senior Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez]] and candidates from the previous companies who had "washed out", becoming drill instructors for the later SPARTAN-IIIs.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 98''</ref> Not one of the 330 candidates opted out of the program, and at the request of Lieutenant Commander Ambrose, all 330 of those who passed the selection process were approved. <ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 99-100''</ref> | ||
Every candidate survived their training and [[Project: CHRYSANTHEMUM|augmentations]]. In addition, they were injected with illegal drugs that altered the frontal lobes of their brains to enhance aggression, strength, endurance, and tolerance to injury. <ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', page 102</ref> These Spartans received deployment orders only a few weeks after the [[Fall of Reach]], and most left [[Onyx]] before the [[Battle of Onyx]] occurred. It is unknown where they presently are. | Every candidate survived their training and [[Project: CHRYSANTHEMUM|augmentations]].

Only fifteen Spartans of Gamma Company remained on Onyx for top honors competitions when the Battle of Onyx began. Of these Spartans, seven were [[Killed In Action]], and eight escaped into the [[Shield World]]. Of the eight survivors, five are now trapped in [[Forerunner]] [[Slipspace Field Pod|Slipspace field pods]], which hold their bodies in both [[Slipstream Space|Slipspace]] and normal space, but keep the bodies inside perfectly safe, a technologically superior counterpart of the [[human]] [[cryo-chamber]]. | Only fifteen Spartans of Gamma Company remained on Onyx for top honors competitions when the Battle of Onyx began.
