| ==Psychology==
| |
| | |
| Oly Oly Oxen Free was a secret amongst the [[Spartans]]; none but they and a select few outsiders knew it. Those outsiders were close to the Spartan family; such as [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]], [[Cortana]], and [[Sergeant Johnson]]. Thus, the signal was extremely important to each Spartan; they would rather die than give up the significance of the tone, which could be used to betray or endanger their teammates.
