Talk:Maria-062

Could we rename the article Maria-062, since it is her name?

what page of Halo: The Fall of Reach does it mentioned a retired Spartan?--Ryanngreenday 23:45, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't, but on page 240 of TFoR, it mentions three Spartans "who are engaged on fields of combat too distant to be easily recalled." She may not be retired, but on a deepcover mission for ONI.--EnsignRed 04:42, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

How can her children have super enhanced properties, when she wasn't born with them! It's all genetics of cells, nothing that was altered in her life or was an environmental change, would affect her children. If someone got a scar from an accident or something, the persons children wouldn't be born with scars would they. It was a change made to her. -- User:Joshua 029 21:27, 29 November 2006

Unless they gave her gentic enhancements which would be passed down to her children. -- Esemono 00:48, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Ok, why is Maria named as Maria-062 when every single other Spartan on the roster is simply Spartan-##? I propose we keep it uniform, either make them all their name-## or all Spartan-## InnerRayg

I believe it was mentioned that the Spartans had "some legal recourse" in the Conversations from the Universe booklet, when Cortana and Solipsi were talking ... perhaps that entails leaving the army if they so desired. Goodness knows the UNSC owes it to them, after kidnapping, cloning, training and enhancing them, without so much as a "by-your-leave" ...

Supressed Sexual Drive?

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)

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. --ED_(talk)^(shockfront) 22:04, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I interpreted this as one of the risks - the Spartans may not be able to have children, due to military obligations (kicking Covenant butt on alien worlds), but that doesnt mean they don't want to :D (oh dear - i can see the 'fic's people are going to write already!

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.Keyes 08:26, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Ghosts of Onyx

Dr. Cathrine Halsey states: (not exact quote mind you, just a generaliztion) no spartan would ever leave if there was still a fight

This is true. They were essentially brainwashed since the age of six. Plus, in Fall of Reach, wasn't all the other Spartans first getting into the suits the first ones to test it an survive? (the grousomeness of that marine's death *shudder*)...or...is she testing the Mark VI armor?-UltimatBliz

In page 240 of Halo: The Fall of Reach, Dr. Halsey says that there have been 3 KIA and 1 too wounded for active duty "in the past decade." Sam's death occurred in 2025, more than a decade before 2552. I have changed the number to account for that. --Ant80 20:45, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Children?

Just because she has a suppresed sexual drive doesn't mean that she can't have children. Also maby ONI allowed her to retire so that she may have children. The children would inheret the genetic traits that made her qualified for the Spartan project. So maby ONI was like (we need more spartans, let her retire and have babies.)

Speculation section should be removed

Whenever I put up "speculation" the administrators tell me that speculation is not allowed. Then how come the Speculation section about Maria is still up? ImmortalJoshua

Because there is a potential that Bungie would release information about her in the near future. Additionally, this speculations are supported with evidence/facts, thus making it valid.-5ub7ank^(7alk) 15:32, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
