Training
Aksel-113, like all the other spartans, was abducted from his family and was recruited into the SPARTAN-II project. He was then replaced by a flash-clone that died a few weeks later. Training with the other spartans, he ended up becoming good friends with Shawn-118.

Battle of Yggdrasil
Aksel and gentry Red were garrisoned at Yggdrasil during the battle of reach and the first battle of earth, arriving at earth just as MCPO John-117 left through the portal to the ark.

Mental Report
The following conversation is CLASSIFIED under UNSC code: November glory

Approximate time stamp: July 2554

Lieutenant: Welcome number 113. Please, have a seat, sir.

November-sierra 113: This another one of those psyche tests doc?

Lieutenant: I'm no doctor, Lieutenant will do just fine.

November-sierra 113: Alright then, Lieutenant. Would you care to shed some light on why I'm here and not in the field. There is a war on aft-

Lieutenant: This is just a mandatory evaluation of your mental condition. There's no need to be worried.

November-sierra 113: So it is a psyche test.

Lieutenant: I never said that.

[pause]

Lieutenant: I'll just be asking a few questions an-

November-sierra 113: Relating to...?

Lieutenant: Don't worry, they're all hypothetical.

November-sierra 113: To test my reactions?

Lieutenant: Precisely. Let's begin shall we?

November-sierra 113: Alright.

Lieutenant: You're walking through a desert, you see a tortoise. Someone seems to have flipped the tortoise on it's back. The sun is baking it's belly, you can tell it's in pai-

November-sierra 113: I flip the tortoise over

Lieutenant: Ah, but you can't do that.

November-sierra 113: Why not?

[subject starts to show minor signs of discomfort]

[subjects heart-rate begins to rise]

Lieutenant: Like I said number 113, these are just hypothetical questions. They should have no correlation with past experiences.

November-sierra 113: But I never said...

Lieutenant:You're acting like, Dry Water. Could you please, calm down a bit?

[subjects heart-rate begins to slow]

November-sierra 113: I'm calm. Lieutenant: Now, where were we? Oh yes, how about a new question?
 * subject smiles
 * subject is still showing signs of discomfort, albeit at lower levels
 * It should be noted here that the Post-hypnotic-trigger test was succesful.

November-sierra 113: Alright...

Lieutenant: You're sitting on a beach, there are toy soldiers in front of you. Nearby there is a small sand castle.

November-sierra 113: Okay.

Lieutenant: You look over to see that there is another beach-goer, he also has a sand castle and toy soldiers. His sand castle is bigger than yours, and you can see in his eyes that he wants your castle to not share the same space as his own.

November-sierra 113: I try to talk with him. Convince him to be friends.

Lieutenant:He pushes you to the ground, then he steps on your castle, and breaks the toy soldiers.
 * subject heart-rate begins to rise again
 * subject is showing signs of extreme stress and discomfort

November-sierra 113: I get up...

Lieutenant: Yes, and?

November-sierra 113: And I kill him
 * subjects eyes are dilated
 * subjects heart-rate is normal

Lieutenant: That will be all number 113.Thank you for your time.

November-sierra 113: Thank you sir.
 * subject leaves room

Lieutenant:And what about you? Do you mind telling me about your childhood?

Off screen voice: You can cut the act Candlemaker, we need to be serious here.

Codename-Candlemaker: Haha, alright.

Off screen voice: Do you think he's ready?

Codename-Candlemaker: Oh he's ready alright, that's a natural born killer there.

Off screen voice: I meant to lead. Sure he can hunt covenant, but can he train the next set of hunters?

Codename-Candlemaker: I guess we'll find out won't we?

Off screen voice: I suppose we will. Alright, have him moved to the black-hedge-trimmings, declare him KIA, cryo-stasis. Until it goes up, he'll be working with Sierra-254 and the Deltas as a back up instructor.

Codename-Candlemaker: What about Gentry Team?

Off-screen Voice:What about them? Other than Delila, they seem to be in a state of greater peace. It's about time to cycle in the next group, why not bring in the last two Herald's? They could use a new family.

Codename-Candlemaker: Understood. Conversation ends here.
