Talk:Catherine Halsey

removed the item about the Halsey/Daughter Keys link, because it is simply fanfiction with no basis. Jacob Keyes may have been attracted to Halsey in the beginning, but there is absolutely no evidence that Halsey is Miranda's mother. yet.

Agreed. No major speculation. --Dragonclaws 02:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Upgrades

As you can see, I've made a major extension in the Reach section. I'd like to suggest that the periods before and after Reach be given a similar expansion. There are many other things that I think could also be added to the page. -- Forgottenlord 15:36, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Cortana

There should probably be a bit about the creation of Cortana. That's a major part of the Halsey character. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 17:56, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Problem is that we don't have enough sources to create such section. Could you mail to Nylund or Bungie for a wee tiny information regarding the subject? H-107 Subtle Tank 18:14, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Negative attitude

She didnt belive in humanity.AH the Elites and 117 proved her wrong. Sith Venator

You have to wonder how she'll take it when she finds out how the war was finally finished... by the apparent self-sacrifice of S-117 who took her advice about 'saving every life he could' to heart. As for her description, "The Fall of Reach" in the first few pages has Keyes describing Halsey as striking, and very pale with dark hair.

Should we....

Should we include Halsey's UNSC Civilian consultant number? it is: 409871 , as said by Araqiel (Ackerson's AI) in First Strike, in Chapter Thirteen. EngineerCrazy 22:31, 7 December 2008 (UTC) in mine it says 409861

Whisking away Kelly

Why specifically does Halsey sedate Kelly and drag her aboard Jiles' cruiser? When Halsey asks John to send Kelly to her right away, she adds a disclaimer about something "very important." Is she taken away because she needs to be treated for a few more weeks, or something deeper?

Spartan-826 3/4/09

It is revealed in Ghosts of Onyx, she took Kelly to check out something Ackerson was doing.

Oh, I must have skimmed by that part. I guess she felt she should bring a Spartan, just in case. I probably would have too =) Thanks. User talk:Spartan-826 7:00, 6 March 2009

I think Halsey knew all too well about the spartans IIIs and Mendez being on Onyx from the notes she got from Ariquel (ackersons AI). What she wouldnt of know were figures. But out of all the spartans why choose kelly? In my opinion due to the fact she thought humanity was gonna be destroyed she chose another female for repopulation. Linda would of been out of the question due to her injurys I would assume. Mastur Cheef 1337 11:24, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

First battle of Harvest

I edited a section dedicated to Dr.Halseys presence at Harvest since its taken directly from the books Halo:Contact Harvest and Halo: Fall of reach. Positioned a bit oddly since the time line for the page is a bit off, any obligations to reorganising the page? Mastur Cheef 1337 11:20, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Catherine Elizabeth Halsey

Is it possible that Catherine Elizabeth Halsey is a descendant of Fleet Admiral William Frederick Halsey, Jr., USN, (October 30, 1882 – August 16, 1959)? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Halsey,_Jr.

A possibility? Yes, but probably not what the authors were going for. More likely her name is just a reference to the Admiral.--Rusty-112 13:23, September 1, 2009 (UTC)

Dr Halsey in Halo Legends

I have just been looking over several Legends videos, and I came across one very brief image of what looks like Halsey overlooking the Spartan augmentations. See for yourself, pause at exactly 5:41 - [1] - File:Black Mesa.jpg Halo-343 (Talk) (Contribs) (Edits) 18:31, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I see it. We can't be sure, but I'd guess that's her. Nice job seeing that.--Rusty-112 18:53, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

Good find, though it may not be her. --Sgt.T.N.Biscuits 16:26, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

Well a new image of Dr. Halsey is up on the Wiki and I must say. GODAMN! She looks pretty friggin good for a 50+ year old.

She might not be 50 at that point yet; we don't know when the Package takes place. Though that's obviously not how she's supposed to look, they even got the hair color wrong. One has to wonder, why would they ignore all descriptions of her and make her a generic anime chick instead. For her first appearance, it's disappointing to say at least.--Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 14:13, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Maybe this was during her wild/rebellious years. 24.87.4.53 15:40, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

She did go around kidnapping children for ONI, who knows what else she did while under cover. Obviously she was doing something important enough for the Covenant to find her and track her down. So maybe its a disguise. We know people live much longer too, so she could remain youthful for a greater period of time. ProphetofTruth 16:03, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

She could have dyed her hair blond, a lot of women do that. And also, time in cryo sleep drastically affects one's age. For instance, Preston Cole is 82 Earth years old, but because of time spent in cryo-sleep, he is about 60 years old. Says so in Evolutions. - File:Black Mesa.jpg Halo-343 (Talk) (Contribs) (Edits) 08:45, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Halo-343. She is probably only sixty including time spent in cryo-sleep. As for a change in hair color, she could have dyed it. Still, if she appears blonde in other episodes of the anime, I would guess that blonde is her actual hair color, and that black is really her dyed hair color. I don't know how to explain the absence of wrinkles though. Maybe she didn't have them yet. - User:Webspidrman 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Maybe cosmetic operations.

Please sign your posts. And it would be completely out of Halsey's character to do something like that. - File:Black Mesa.jpg Halo-343 (Talk) (Contribs) (Edits) 13:55, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Am I the only one who wants to put a pistol to my head after witnessing the halsey from "the package"?
