This article is about procedures for the Spartan-III project. For procedures for the Spartan-II project, see SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures.

Project: CHRYSANTHEMUM is a set of SPARTAN-III bio-augmentation procedures, similar to those of the SPARTAN-II's but different in three main regards.[1] With advances in technology, the casualty rate for SPARTAN-III candidates was usually 0%, as opposed to the 56% casualty rate of the SPARTAN-IIs. The Spartan-III's had no need of a thyroid implant, and their augmentations were chemically induced instead of surgically implanted.[1]

Results

Drug Description Effect
8942-LQ99 "carbide ceramic ossification catalyst" drug.[1] Skeletons become virtually unbreakable, allowing survival in harder impacts.
88005-MX77 "fibroid muscular protein complex" drug.[1] Increased density of individual's muscles, allowing heavier lifting.
88947-OP24 "retina-inversion stabilizer" drug.[1] Color sharpness is significantly improved upon, and night vision is adapted.
87556-UD61 improve the colloidal neural disunification solution[1] Greatly improves the individual's reaction time, decreasing the time taken to react by 300%. "Spartan time".
009762-OO [Gamma Generation] Neural-altering non-carcinogenic mutagen. Alters key regions in the individual's frontal lobe.[1][2][note 1] Enhances aggressive response to dangerous levels. Requires regular doses of 009127-PX and 009927-DG to be taken to avoid uncontrollable aggression.[2]
009127-PX [Gamma Generation] cyclodexione-4, bipolar integration drug Counters the effects of 009762-OO.[1][2][note 1]
009927-DG [Gamma Generation] miso-olanzapine Counters the psychological effects of 009762-OO.[1][2][note 1]

Trivia

  • During Operation: TORPEDO, Tom-B292 ran at a speed of 30 KPH (around 18 MPH) it is unknown how fast the SPARTAN-IIIs can run compared to the SPARTAN-IIs, but it should be noted that he was 12 at the time.

Notes

  1. ^ a b c These drugs were illegally authorized and injected into the SPARTAN-III Gamma Company by Kurt-051. It was outlawed by the UNSC Medical Corps in 2513.
