"I fight for three things. Death, pain, and hope. Hope for everyone who doesn't."

- Nate-B312, circa 2551.

(Lieutenant) Nathaniel-B312, known better as Nate-B312, or later, Noble Six, is a SPARTAN-III Commando in Beta Company in the UNSC Marine Corps, and of Naval Special Warfare Command.

Nate was born on the planet known as Masyaf IV, on July 23rd, 2533 , and became a member of the SPARTAN-IIIs due to his traits, similar to most SPARTAN-IIs. He was chosen after his parents were killed during the glassing of Masyaf IV.

He became a loner, becoming the UNSC's own private weapon. He took out Covenant on colonies, wiped out entire Insurrectionist operations, and was part of the Special Operations Joint Task Force known as Noble Team during the Battle of Reach.

Early Life
Born on the Muslim-prominent planet of Masyaf IV, on July 23rd, 2533, in the capital city, Cyprus City. Nate was born to a half-caucasian, half-latino family. His father was a teacher at a high school in Cyprus, while his mother served at the air base. When Nate was born, they told the parents that the mother wasn't capable of having any more children. Nate was going to be an only child.

Nate spent his first few years as a middle-class child. He lived in a family that wanted to be together, but because of financial problems, could not. Nate often found that watching his favorite show, Tom & Jerry, would calm him down. He would love seeing the pain on the cat, for his bad deeds. This kept him happy in his life.

Nate loved the air force. All over his room, he had displays of classic fighters, such as the World War II era Mitsubishi Zero, or the Cold War era B-52 Stratofortress. Along with this, the cargo in his model planes usually contained of dioramas of mice, as his favorite episode of Tom & Jerry involved Jerry, the mouse, and Tom, the cat, fighting each other in a style seen in war, using household items, such as an egg carton, for bombers, mortars, and missiles.

Nate's family was going through a financial crisis, though, and in his first year of school, he was often called a nerd, due to his high amount of knowledge of aircraft, but was a friend to many.

Nate was not the best physically, but he had a large range of knowledge when it came to aircraft, as stated many times before. He also knew a lot about physics by the time of second grade, to which teachers were saying he was able to comprehend physics at a level of which he was two grades ahead.

His parents had trained him well, as he was more intelligent than anything. He loved reading, and while his classmates read picture books, he was already reading chapter books.

One year before his planet was glassed, his parents decided to adopt another. The child was African-American, and was less than a year old. Most on Masyaf IV were Muslim, but the family were not. They were Roman-Catholic, and they were one of few who pledged against the segregation on the planet.

The family had originally planned to get a Latino child, but to prove they were diverse too, the adopted an African-American child. They named her Alice, and brought her along in strikes, and other anti-racism acts.

Many of the family's friends were outraged by the family, calling them racist, but they had not gotten the child for the sole purpose of being an anti-racism token, but to be a part of the family.

Glassing and the SPARTAN-III Program
"Son, we gotta go to mommy. C'mon. Tom & Jerry can wait! We have to get to the airbase!"

- Nate's father, upon seeing the carriers.

It was a normal day. The middle of August, summer starting to wane. Nate's mother had left for the airbase hours ago, and Nate's father and himself went to his school. They split up, and Nate went to his second grade class, his father to his class.

Nate studied throughout his day, doing the usual sets of classes. He stayed in one class the whole day, as most in Elementary did, and his class had a view to the east of Cyprus.

His father's class had a view to the north, Cyprus' downtown.

It had never mattered, as they saw Cyprus every day, but Nate's class had no view of what was about to begin.

The particular day was rainy, as rain sprinkled down on the school.

At about 1:00 standard civilian time, five cruisers and two carriers made a pinpoint jump out of slipspace.

Nate's father's class had a view of the North, where they had appeared. Nate's father spilled his coffee, and got his class up.

The other side of the school had no view, and Nate called his son to leave for the day. Just as he arrived at the bus which was going to get the two sixth grade classes to the evacuation point, the alarm bell rang, and hundreds of students poured out.

Nate's father drove the bus since the bus driver had taken too long, and they weren't headed to the evacuation point, but to the airbase.

The class saw the carriers. It was going to be a few swift moves for the planet to be glassed.

The bus ignored all traffic warnings, including the city's dumb AI, Redshirt, and drove to the airbase. A group of Pelican dropships were evacuating nearby civilians, but Nate's mother was a Longsword pilot. She was already in the air, en route to the small fleet.

There were no major UNSC stations in the area, and the nearest UNSC fleet wouldn't be to the system for another hour.

One the first Pelican, Nate's father's class was boarding. Nate and his father tried to board, but Nate's father had been pulled in first, and Nate had been left behind on accident.

Nate was pulled onto the second plane, and met the only friend he would have for a time. His name was Tobias. The two were the only children on that certain Pelican. Nate's father was on another, headed away from the fleet to a group of Civilian carriers, which would take them to the UNSC ships, when they arrived.

A few Pelicans were shot down during flight, but neither of the children were sure if their parents were aboard. They had both come upon the same situation, as they had been separated from their parents in boarding. This certain Pelican made it to the carriers, and went back to rescue more people as the civilians boarded.

The glassing had already begun, and plasma torpedoes were flying. The planet was being glassed, and four cities had already burnt to a crisp. They were almost to Cyprus City, and the downtown was the central military area for the planet.

Nate and Tobias watched as Pelicans arrived, and waited for their parents. Neither came. The Pelicans finally stopped coming, and when the last one arrived, they left the Pelican behind, burned and damaged by a plasma torpedo.

At 2:34 standard civilian time, the fleet arrived, and the Covenant had already begun glassing the planet. The three human carriers made it to the Marathon cruiser, the Adam's Apple. The certain ship started back as soon as all carriers were aboard, while the rest of the fleet stood by to fight the Covenant.

The planet was deemed lost at 9:00 that night. The UNSC retreated, and jumped for a random location, as per the Cole Protocol.

SPARTAN-III Training
"This kid loves planes. Give him a few years, and I might nominate him to test out the Sabre for us."

- James Ackerson, to Flight director, Philip Bushnell.

After arriving on the strange planet of Onyx, the SPARTANs were told they would be the protector of Earth and all her colonies. They were told of the same propaganda that the SPARTAN-IIs were. He had no idea he would be sent on suicide missions. They told them this aboard a plane. The commanding officers then told them their parents were dead.

The SPARTANs were ordered to paradrop upon the pickup location. The SPARTANs jumped from the plane. Tobias had bad luck. His chute broke, and he was sent freefalling into a lake. The rest of the SPARTANs dropped to the pickup location, where Chief Petty Officer Mendez picked them up.

The SPARTANs drove to Camp Currahee, where the commanding officers marched the SPARTANs out for training. They began with usual exercises, not unlike those from his school. They began with sit ups. Then push ups, the grapevine, etc. They went on with this and then an obstacle course. They were teamed up, and B312, as he was now called, was teamed up with two others. Gavin and Koba. The two pushed him around, and taunted him as they sped through the obstacle course. He had taken enough by the time the team was walking back for their first SPARTAN lunch.

One of the two pushed B312 out of the way, and he finally broke. He threw a left hook, and knocked out Koba. Gavin got angry, and tried to tackle Nate. Nate had dodged, and was standing in front of a mud puddle on purpose. Gavin had landed in mud, and Nate had started kicking him.

He was separated from the team, and immediately, they knew he was different.

He was assigned to be alone, and as the days went on, he became more and more distant. He talked less, and was more by the book.

One one certain occasion, Nate and Gavin had found each other alone in the weight room right before Project: CHRYSANTHEMUM, and Gavin had wanted to "spar". Nate ignored him, and when Gavin tried to punch him while he was lifting weights, Nate hit him with the twenty-five pound weight.

When Project: CHRYSANTHEMUM began, most were nervous. Nate had heard about it, and was excited. Nate became the first subject to undergo the augments, and became even more distant. He traveled to the UNSC Hopeful, a medical station, with the rest of Beta Company, where he underwent the augmentations.

After the augmentations, SPARTAN-B312 hardly ever spoke. B312 became the best of Beta Company, as he never talked unless ordered, he always followed orders, and was an excellent SPARTAN.

He became a loner after augmentations, and the UNSC's own personal weapon.

Early Operations
"He listens, all right. Loud and clear. But does he comprehend what I'm saying? No."

- One of B312's superior officers, on his performance.

After training, B312 had been tried with different classes in a squad. He had been amazing as a marksman. As seen in a certain battle, B312 had easily taken down five targets, swiftly, and quietly, from a long distance, allowing his team entrance to a militia base. The squad of marines was pinned down, though he was given direct orders to stay and give sniper support. B312 pulled out his rifle, and opened fire on the militia. He went into a rampage, and took out all of the militiamen.

Though not his weakness, B312 was not an expert in close quarters combat. Though he could hit hard, and knew a few martial arts moves, he wasn't the all knowing specialist like SPARTAN-II Frederic-104. Though B312 did have a weakness. Teamwork. He was great at listening, said one of his many CO's, but he didn't always follow the rules. He would often go solo, against his enemy, disobeying orders, and ahead of his team, completing the mission long before his comrades.

B312 looked down upon his SPI armor, as he thought it gave away his position during sniper support, so he painted the helmet to where there was only a singular orange circle visible.

During one mission, B312 watched by a scope, as his entire team was killed. The one time he had followed orders, his team had gone down. He began to talk more after this mission, and although it was unknown why he became more talkative, it was thought by the Office of Naval Intelligence to be a symptom of PTSD.

B312 was assigned another team, and went through four missions with them. In a mission right before Operation: TORPEDO, the team had gone through a mission which involved assassinating a Insurrectionist leader. B312 had shot the leader's leg, and the team was forced to kill everyone else. Right before the exfil. dropship arrived, B312 had personally bashed the leader down with the barrel of his sniper rifle.

His last mission before the all together Operation: TORPEDO, was another mission in which his team was on a separate mission from he. B312 was to pave the way for yet another team. Instead, he completed the mission, alone. When the team arrived, they found that everyone was dead. Standing right by the package they were supposed to retrieve, was B312.

After the mission, B312 took some time off, but was called out again for other reasons.

SABRE Program
"She's shipshape in Bristol fashion."

- Nate's words to British Flight Instructor, Philip Bushnell.

This section to be expanded on upon Halo Reach's release.

Other Operations
"Son, there's no I in SPARTAN. You'd best remember that."

- Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker, to Nate, during Operation: FISTICUFFS.

On his first operation after training for the SABRE Program, B312 was assigned a mission to infiltrate an Insurrectionist transport holding 50 megajoules of nuclear material. B312 was dropped unto a shipping route, dressed without his MJOLNIR, but in the clothes of a checkpoint guard.

When the Insurrectionist transport arrived, it was covered in a lead casing, with an imprint of nothing more than food supplies built on the second layer inside. Nate checked the ship, and let it pass, but he boarded it, quickly getting on his armor before the Insurrectionists could leave the checkpoint.

Nate armed the bomb just as the ship entered a dead zone, and was picked up by a Pelican, as the explosives went off in transit, killing the pilots.

Three days later, Nate was assigned to take a Insurrectionist base from the same group that was planning on using the WMD on a planet.

The base was on a small, desolate colony, a small patch of land that had survived a glassing from the Covenant armada.

Nate was dropped via SOEIV, and sent up a distress beacon. He was using a Ghillie suit, and stashed himself in a nearby bush. When a group of insurrectionists came to investigate in a civilian flatbed Spade, Nate quietly killed one with a suppressed E-DMR. He then killed the other one by a knife to the femoral artery.

Nate took one of the soldier's armor, putting his own armor in a rucksack one of them was carrying. When he arrived back at the Insurrectionist base using a GPS, they questioned him on where his partner was. He simply said he was going to investigate another beacon. When the Insurrectionist further questioned him, Nate killed the innie with his pistol.

Nate infiltrated the base, and as soon as the body was discovered, Insurrectionists attacked him without hesitation. He wiped out all electronics by planting an Electro Magnetic Pulse creating device, and was met by backup as a D77H Pelican destroyed the base.

Nate was evacuated, and the base was destroyed. His mission was completed.

Before his transfer to Noble Team, he underwent one last mission. ONI called it OPERATION: FISTICUFFS. Nate was sent in with a team of Marines.

He was going to attack an insurrectionist destroyer, hijacked by Pirates and sold to the innies. By the Cole Protocol, the ship had to be destroyed. No one could escape.

Nate led a SPARTAN team wearing his newly acquired MJOLNIR Mark V(B) armor. He boarded the ship with his squad, two more squads boarding from different areas in the ship. The squad was immediately met with fire from Insurrectionist teams, trying to stop the SPARTAN. But he was unstoppable with his MJOLNIR. He fired on the Insurrectionists, and wiped the defense force in the pod bays out.

Nate led his squad into a small cafeteria, where he was met with more fire. Armed with an M319 Individual Grenade launcher, he pummeled forces in the cafeteria, destroying their cover while the Marines fired on the Insurrectionists. Nate's squad regrouped with another team, led by Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker. The team now had to clear the upper levels of the ship, while the third squad was handling the engineering area of the ship.

The combined squad traveled up a floor, and completely decimated the forces of the Insurrectionists on the crew quarters, too. When they reached the last floor before the bridge of the ship, they got a transmission from the third squad, who was under fire from the bulk of the Innies. Nate tried to make a valiant move, and take out the entire level himself, when Stacker told him words he would remember about teamwork.

Stacker went with the other forces down below to engineering, and a few Marines came with him to eliminate the remaining forces, topside. Nate's squad was met by a special team who had barricaded the corridor leading to the bridge. Nate had one shot left in his Grenade launcher. The insurrectionists behind the barricade had explosives gear on. Nate Used his last shot, and ricocheted it off of the roof of the walkway, exploding behind the barricade. It killed three of the Innies. The other two backed away, and when they came back, they were armed with machine guns. They tore apart the squad, and used a single grenade on Nate. He was thrust back, and wounded. If it wouldn't have been for a sole surviving marine who had pulled him out of the line of fire, B312 would have been killed. The Innies backed down, and for a few minutes, Nate lay unconscious. When he awoke, he found Sergeant Stacker picking him up. Stacker lead him to a waiting Pelican dropship. The surviving marines evacuated the ship, and it was destroyed per the Cole Protocol.

Battle for Reach
"I've seen your file, even the parts the ONI censors didn't want me to. I'm glad to have your skill set, but we're a team. That "lone wolf" stuff stays behind."

- Carter-A259, meeting B312, now Noble Six.

Welcome to Noble Team
"The Office of Naval Intelligence believes that deployment of a Spartan team is a gross misallocation of valuable resources. I disagree."

- Col. Urban Holland, to Carter-A259.

The day after his birthday, July 24th, 2552, Nate was told he would be deployed to Reach, to a special operations joint team known as NOBLE. Nate was sent from the UNSC Bluebird Thunder, to a Warthog stationed on a small, Reachan town. Two Falcons escorted Nate as he traveled to a small outpost on Reach. Upon meeting Noble Team, he was introduced first to Emile-A239, an African-American assault SPARTAN. Katherine-B320, known as Kat, then met him, and Nate saw that Noble Team's leader, Carter-A259, was talking to Colonel Urban Holland through radio contact. Holland was telling Noble Team to investigate a shut down relay, where a group of UNSC soldiers went MIA. Then Nate was introduced to Jorge-052, a SPARTAN-II, and was told he was the new Noble Six. Almost immediately, Noble Team was deployed to the Visegrad Relay, to find out what was happening to the relay. Noble Six was told his file had been read by Carter, and that he would be a team-player from now on.

Noble took off in two Falcons, Nate, now Noble Six, Carter-A259, and the sniper of the squad, Jun-A266 took off in one Falcon, Jorge, Emile, and Kat in another. They were going to the Visegrad Relay.

Investigating the Visegrad Relay
"The Covenant is on Reach, I repeat, the Covenant is on Reach."

- Cpl. Andrew Travis.

Noble Team was to investigate a relay where a team of soldiers had gone MIA after searching for the source of a flatlined signal at the Visegrad Relay. The troopers

Upon closing in on the Visegrad Relay, Noble Team lost contact with any outside Command. The team arrived on a farmstead, and Katherine-B320 found the source of a beacon under a pallet, near a destroyed warthog. No explosives residue, but Plasma.

The team continued, and found some farmers who said something in the fields killed one of the farmer's sons. After continuing on, they found two of the troopers. Dead. Tortured, apparently. Noble Team, almost coincidentally, and immediately after finding the troopers, heard something rattling around. When they reached the other side of building, they found the worst possible thing. Not insurrectionists. Covenant.

The team engaged the Covenant, and decimated the small forces. Noble Team issued a new priority, to get to a comm station, and tell Colonel Holland about the Covenant.

Noble Six, Carter, and Jorge-052 continued on ground while Katherine and Emile-A239 continued by air. Six drove a civilian vehicle towards the relay, being interrupted by a squad called 3 Charlie, who was under fire. After aiding 3 Charlie, Noble Team continued onto the relay.

After fighting through a group of Covenant, including a Zealot Archive Retrieval Team, Carter got up a connection with Colonel Holland, and warned him of the Covenant.

ONI Sword Base
"The Office of Naval Intelligence Sword Base is presently under siege from a Corvette-class Covenant vessel. Due to the sensitive nature of this facility, use of orbital rounds has been, for the moment, prohibited. Regrettably, my efforts to obtain relevant data on enemy forces have been unsuccessful. However, current defensive forces are insufficient. ONI has requested Team Noble's direct intervention to help secure Sword Base."

- Auntie Dot, Noble Team's assigned AI.

Two days after confirmation of the Covenant on Reach, Noble Team was deployed to a special ONI Facility named Sword Base for it was under attack by Covenant Forces, including a Corvette.

Due to the sensitive nature of the facility, MAC Rounds were prohibited, and direct intervention was necessary. Katherine and Nate were dropped off as a strike team, eliminating all Covenant in the courtyard. After which Kat and Nate proceeded to the main gate to Sword Base, eliminating Covenant forces with a laser designator, which initiated a Precision airstrike by Shortsword.

Nate and Kat were given a Warthog, and traveled to an Anti-air battery which had been shut down by Covenant. After eliminating the forces in the area, Nate and Kat activated the AA gun, giving UNSC forces a helping hand.

After which, Nate and Kat traveled to the communications array, also shut down by the Covenant. Nate and Kat proceeded to activate the array, after which they moved back to the Sword Base to regroup with the rest of Noble Team. After fighting their way through the main garage, and up through the atrium, Nate assisted Emile on the top floor, paving the way for Longswords, destroying the Banshees and Phantoms. The Longswords then destroyed the Corvette, saving the ONI Sword Base.

After, they were called inside, where Doctor Catherine Halsey was waiting. Doctor Halsey discussed with them the Visegrad Incident, informing Noble Team that the Zealot Strike Team was a Zealot Artifact Retrieval Team. Halsey informed Catherine that she knew she had accessed Doctor Sorvad's data module. After arguing with Kat for a few seconds, Kat handed over the module. After which, Noble Team exited the building, en route to Noble Base.

Intermission
"Noble Team, we've got a break. Covenant forces have been identified on Reach. They're spreading. It's time we take out this small platoon. Get prepared. Tomorrow, Jun and Six, our marksmen, will go on a recon mission, back near Visegrad. Get it? Kat's running this op, and the rest of us, excluding Jorge and Emile, will be providing surveillance."

- Carter-A259, circa August 10th, 2552.

After retreating to Noble Base, Colonel Holland informed Noble Team they would be running a recon op, their best marksmen surveying the amount of Covenant on Reach. Carter was letting Kat run the op for the time being, and she had decided to send them in at around 2300 hours on August 11th, just a day later.

Operation: PHANTOM BREEZE
After preparing their weapons, and cleaning and readying their gear, Noble Team set out in two Falcons. Carter and Kat's Falcon stopped midway on the trip to the known Covenant base, and Carter and Kat stayed behind. Jun and Six para-dropped from a low altitude, making their way through mountains, dodging patrols and such until making their way to a facility. Kat informed them that there was a dark zone ahead, and Colonel Holland wanted to know what the Covenant were hiding.

After eliminating some hostiles near a farmstead, another Phantom dropped off troops. Nate quickly eliminated them, and continued on through a small trail. There was another building, and Nate and Jun quickly eliminated the forces there, continuing on through another trail.

There, they found an indigenous creature known as the Guta fighting Covenant forces. Jun and Nate let the Guta pick off the Covenant, after which they shot and killed the Guta. After moving on through another trail, Nate and Jun encountered multiple Moa, running away from gunfire. Magnums. The trail soon opened up to a pump station, where local militia were engaging Covenant forces. Kat commanded the two to keep the militia alive, and after eliminating the forces at the pump station, Nate and Jun spoke to the militia who told them they were staying to fight, and had UNSC issue weapons hidden throughout the territory.

Noble Six and the militia took some of the weapons, and engaged a Phantom as it deployed more troops. After eliminating the forces of two more Phantoms, the militia inform the SPARTANs that, although the road to a hydro-electric plant is blocked off, there is another alternate route, through a riverbed.

After moving through the riverbed, Jun shows Kat footage of an army-hiding canopy, to conceal the Covenant. Kat tells Jun that "command" has something planned for it, and to plant a detonation charge on it, which will be activated at dawn. After fighting off waves of Covenant, Jun finished planting the charge, and the SPARTANs and militia moved into the dark zone, eliminating all Covenant in the area. After moving through, and encountering multiple Banshees, and spotting a Corvette, the two SPARTANs found the "strike force" to be much, much bigger. A total invading army. After uploading footage, the SPARTANs retreated to the original LZ, along with other recon teams, taking no time for another break. They evacuated the surviving militia, and themselves, preparing for the morning ahead.

Operation: UNDER THE CANOPY
"It appears that Noble Team's discovery last night was not an anomaly."

- Auntie Dot, Noble Team's AI.

Preferred Weaponry

 * SRS99D Anti-Materiel: The SRS99D Anti-Materiel was a weapon in which B312 could always depend on. It was usually his weapon of choice in stealth ops, in the case that it was the only weapon he hasn't added on to. He owned the rifle since he began his SPARTAN operations.
 * MA37 ICWS: In case something went wrong in one of his "lone wolf" missions, which with B312, wasn't unlikely, he also carried a long barreled variant of the MA37 ICWS, in the case that something should happen to his SRS99D. During his transfer to Noble Team, when teamwork was necessary, and there was already a designated marksman, this became one of his main weapons.
 * M392B Long Range Designated Marksman Rifle (SOCOM): The M392B LR-DMR was a rifle that was a skimmed down Special Operations variant of the M392 DMR. B312 preferred this weapon over the standard DMR, and used it whenever he didn't need to provide Sniper support from an extremely long range, for it's quick rate of fire, and bigger caliber than the standard DMR. The weapon was destroyed during his last battle before training for the SABRE Program.
 * D99 Stallion High Power Revolver: A non-standard issue weapon, this was B312's favorite pistol. He collected it from an insurrectionist, and lost the weapon during training for the SABRE Program.

Mental Report
(As of April 12th, 2550, 19:00 Hours)

''A loner. That's one word I could describe him with. Despite that we force him to work with others, I think he performs better alone. He's one of the best Threes'. I can't afford to have him lost, so I often send him in with a team. Though that doesn't matter. He's heavily antisocial. Heavily. The only way I can get him to communicate is by the fact I'm his CO. He's a good kid, though. He seems to suffer from other diseases, such as PTSD, which I'm worried about. He saw hundreds of Spartans die. He watched as rivers of blood poured onto his feet. It was saddening, but, he's a SPARTAN. Me and the team made the decision to evac him on that Prowler.... Black Cat, was it? I think not only PTSD. When he sees the blood of a comrade, or something he really hates, such as... Rebels, he'll go berserk. In one notable mission in my tabs, I saw that one time, he was supposed to take out a rebel leader. Quick and swift. Not what he did. He shot him in the leg, an artery. He compromised his teams position, and gunfire erupted around the incapacitated leader. Then, after the battle, B312 personally bashed his head in with the barrel of his rifle. Scares me. When he was a kid, I heard he loved planes. We trained him with the Sabre. I hope that comes in handy some time. I believe it will. The point is, he can go psychopathic. He's insane, and usually, he never says a word about it. That's all I can say. The rest is classified.''


 * Sincerely, J. Ackerson

Selection for Mission To Reach
' The following conversation is CLASSIFIED under Office of Naval Intelligence, Section 0. The current date is May 31st, 2552.''

[B312 enters the room.]

Inspection Officer: Hello, Subject B312.

[B312 sits down, and looks at the inspection officer.]

IO: I need you to hook up to the wires.

[B312 looks at the wires, then back at the IO.]

IO: Did you hear me Subject B312? Please attach the wires to your left and right temples, along with your frontal lobe.

[B312 attaches the wires.]

IO: I need you to think of a picture for me... Think of an animal.

[On the screen, a dead dog appears, with plasma scorches throughout its body.]

IO: Good.

[There is a pause.]

IO: Do you picture yourself fit for teamwork? As in multiple cases your teams have failed their missions with your sniper support.

[A reticule appears, a sniper scope. In the center, is an insurrectionist about to shoot a team member with rockets.]

B312: I took out an entire legion of insurrectionists, alone, sir. I think that's well enough.

IO: According to the records, you were supposed to scout for your team. When they got there, everyone was dead. You have compromised multiple missions for your teams.

B312: I best work alone, sir.

[A picture appears of a body, a man, with no apparent head but a large pile of gore.]

IO: Yes, you do. Your a bit overkill, though. Do you find yourself fit for this mission?

B312: Yes. I've worked with teams before. I have failed, and I have succeeded. I've been a sole survivor multiple times.

IO: Sure you can...

IO: Do you suffer from any diseases, SPARTAN?

B312: PTSD.

[An image of a SPARTAN-III being gunned down by an insurrectionist appears.]

[The IO looks over to one of the reflective windows.]

B312: Who's back there?

IO: Excuse me?

[B312 sighs.]

B312: Who is back there. Behind the glass?

IO: That is on a need to know basis, SPARTAN.

B312: What's your rating?

IO: What do you mean?

B312: Your rank!

IO: I'll ask the questions, SPARTAN. Do you understand? This is a Section One evaluation.

B312: Tell me your rank, and I won't bash in the glass on that window with your head.

IO: Fine. First Lieutenant.

B312: Okay. So that means I outrank you.

IO: Do you find your marksman skills, good?

B312: Yes.

IO: The team is going to be a special operations Joint Unit. A SPARTAN-II, along with some threes. How about a II? Good, or bad?

B312: He sounds like a good fellow. You, however...

IO: I am not going to be on your team, SPARTAN. Your mission vector is going to be the planet Reach. Your their replacement. Noble Team was made from SPARTANs who'd lost their teammates.

B312: Reach? I know the language.

[An image appears of an elderly man saying things in Reachan.]

B312: ''Serakov tevas Noble. Reach se dov segan roq Covenant.''

IO: You may be able to communicate in the case that the SPARTAN-II, Jorge-052, is incapacitated somehow. But you're right. Reach is a good target for Covenant. I do not, however, think they'll find it anytime soon.

IO: You're probably going to be working against Insurrectionists. Do you find yourself comfortable with this?

[An image appears of a group of insurrectionists under fire from B312.]

B312: Very. I love the sound of innies dying.

IO: In the rare event that Covenant are involved in your operations, do you feel comfortable working with Covenant?

B312: I've never fought Covenant. If I would've, I would've been killed in TORPEDO.

IO: Give me an answer, soldier.

B312: Yes.

IO: That will be all, trooper.

[B312 takes off the wires, nods, and walks out.)

 * The article was made to be the "curb-stomper", to Cortezsniper's article, Fi-D3332, but has evolved into the author's article of pride and joy.
 * The article has multiple references to the Assassin's Creed video game series, because it is the author's favorite "open-world" video game.
 * B312 is one of the youngest ONI members to date, his birthdate making him 19.
