Spartan-058 Linda called "Lone Wolf" in First Strike *Possible Theory*

I'm not suggesting that she is this mysterious "Lone Wolf" character in the Reach trailer, but while reading First Strike, I found out that Colonel Ackerson, someone who was highly jealous and competitive with Dr. Halsey, and pretty much despised her and the rest of the Spartan IIs, had secretly had an AI steal all the data from every last Spartan II, Master Chief, Kelly, Linda, you name it -- every single piece of info that was available on them, was at his dispoal. Now, when I say everything, I mean everything. He had info on their parents, the types of augmentations they were given, he even had information on their Flash clones, which were used to replace the children once they had been kidnapped. It was stated in First Strike that Ackerson seemed particularly interested in the cloning technology, the data had been more extensive on that particular aspect than on pretty much anything else. For those who don't already know, Ackerson was the man who was secretly running the Spartan III Program, and was generally involved in all sorts of really shady matters. He even apparently knew that the intercepted transmission that was stolen from the covenant when they attacked cote d sur (I know I spelled it wrong) contained coordinates that pointed directly to Reach, and this is information that was apparently kept secret. He also was very clearly pleased at the the possibility that Halsey and the rest of the Spartan IIs had possibly lost their lives on Reach. Anyway, getting to my point: I'm not at all suggesting that Lone Wolf in the Reach cutscene is Spartan-058 aka Linda, not saying that at all. However, what if Ackerson had pursued seriously the cloning technology he was obviously so interested in, and managed to produce improved clones based on the genetic make up of some of the Spartan IIs, and kept them secret, even from Kurt himself who was in charge of the Spartan III program? I can't say if Kurt would have, or wouldn't have recognized kids that looking strikingly similar to the very individuals he grew up with, however, what if they weren't perfect clones, but were clones that simply contained certain genetic traits or strengths from the various Spartans. I believe that when Kurt was overlooking the candidates who were ready to undergo augmentation to be the Gamma Company of Spartan IIIs, I specifically recall his focusing on one girl in particular and it being mentioned how much she reminded him of Kelly. Now, I'm not saying that's a smoking gun sign that something fishy was going on with the Spartan III candidates, and cloning technology was involved, but at least I think some would acknowledge that the kelly comparison may potentially not as innocent or insignificant as it originally appeared. For Lone Wolf to contain properties of direct genetic traits of Spartan-058, Lone Wold wouldn't necessarily have to also be a female Spartan III, it could easily be a boy who contained some of Linda's genetic code, or perhaps even the genetic code of multiple Spartans. Ackerson is someone who had very big ambitions. The augmentation process was also greatly refined and improved upon, Ackerson even had an ambition to one day expand the pool of candidates to even the general population, and not just specifically targeted candidates that met a certain genetic requirement.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Fos Tis Krisis This is impossible, at this point in time Linda is effectively Dead in a Pillar of Autumn Cryo Tube. She was nearly killed by a single Elite.[/quote] I don't think some are even reading... I'm not saying that it is Linda, I'm saying it could be a Spartan that is either a clone of her, or a Spartan that, while not being a perfect clone -- as in, doesn't have to be a female or possess red hair -- could still retain some of her genetic traits. Also, let's not be insulting Linda now. No she wasn't almost killed by a single elite. She was effetively annihilating targets left and right, all by herself, hitting shots that even the Chief himself couldn't hit, and the Chief left her by herself numerous times and she didn't have an ounce of trouble dealing with and sniping the hell out of any target that seemed like a threat, including numerous elites. What got Linda in trouble was she, basically, purposely put herself at risk to buy Master Chief the extra time he needed to retreive the nav system from the ship and, as a result, she was shot multiple times from all directions by many covenant enemies, she was even hit in the head. That's what it took to put Linda in the state that she ended up in. She wasn't bested by a single elite. She purposely exposed herself knowing full well what could happen, but she placed the mission of keeping that Nav system that could help the covenant locate earth, above her own life. Some have even suggested why Linda? Perhaps because she was considered by Master Chief to be perhaps the strongest of them all because of how utterly deadly she was while by herself. She excelled enormously while being by herself. While some Spartans would prefer to work in a team, Master Chief had no issue whatsoever sending Linda to go handle a situation by herself, and Linda actually preferred things to be that way many times. There weren't many Spartans or top UNSC that would choose to be in such a situation, and could handle it as amazingly as Linda could, she handled certain tasks like they were a walk in the park. Hell, were it not for her unbelievable skill and aim, Master Chief would have died before ever getting a chance to enter that UNSC ship to retreive the nav system. She was in zero gravity sniping the hell out of incoming covenant on thrusters, flawlessly targeting the precise spots where their shields didn't protect them. So, needless to say, she is absolutely one of the best Spartans alive, and Master Chielf himself has acknowledges that. [Edited on 12.26.2009 2:44 AM PST]
