User:LieutenantDavies/White Team (LieutenantDavies)

"The name is quite ironic, yes. We're called White Team, yet we are as secretive as any ten black ops units."

- Harry-120, the leader of White Team.

Even when taking into account how dangerous the augmentations procedure for the SPARTAN-II Program was, ONI officials, basing their estimates on Dr. Halsey's notes, estimated that the SPARTAN-II candidates were tough enough to ensure a 52% successful survival rate, IE 39 candidates.

Yet strangely, only 44% - 33 recruits - ended up surviving without crippling damage, while 16% - 12 recruits - ended up crippled and the others dead. Thus, six candidates that were predicted to survive died. Although most members of ONI simply waved it off as a miscalculation, Dr. Halsey and some others found it very strange, if not to say shady, although they could never find any evidence suggesting anything mysterious.

However, they were, unknowingly, correct. Six of the supposedly dead recruits were, in reality, alive and well, though made secret and put under the wings of ONI Section Three Black Ops, kept secret from even the other Spartans. Four of these black ops Spartans were put together into Black Team and used as guinea pigs for prototype equipment and employed on sabotage and other unconventional warfare missions.

The other two Spartans, Harry-120 and Leo-009, were put together into White Team and used primarily for more physically based experiments and specializing in recovery/capture of personnel and equipment operations. The most notable experiment performed on the team was to add an AI to both members to see how much their fighting prowess would improve. After it showed satisfying results, the experimental data was handed over to Dr. Halsey and the rest of the SPARTAN-IIs, later resulting in giving John-117 the AI Cortana in order to increase his fighting capabilities.

In early 2552, White Team went MIA after going on a mission to salvage left behind gear from an evacuated insurrectionist base on the colony Deluge, presumed killed by Covenant forces.

Trivia

 * There are several references to the number 3, my favorite number, in the article; for example, both of the Spartans' tags are 3-references (1+2+0=3 and 009~9/3=3). There are numerous others which i leave to everyone else to find =3
 * 'Deluge' is a reference to the Flood, since a 'Deluge myth' is a kind of legend which describes a huge flood devastating mankind.
