Wow so it was Cortana's fault James and Linda died. (Well Linda got severely injured, but if she was alive then she would have been a great asset to Captain Keyes on Alpha Halo) —əґыţєґιιб
COALMINER over SURGEON
I believe COALMINER to be Ackerson, rather than SURGEON. From what we know of S-III, only a few ONI leaders; Kurt; Mendez; the Hopeful and trainers knew of their existence early on. In his report, COALMINER described Kurt like he has met him; he also fails to mention the project leader - James Ackerson. I am interested by his codename, too. Ackerson happened to work in CASTLE base, a repurposed mine. The two are also on Reach at the same time.-- Forerunner 15:43, 18 December 2010 (EST)
