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.

  • The already amazing details regarding Linda just became even better. I think I'm on chapter 32 or 33 of First Strike now, and wow -- Linda, even while clearly not at 100% after having been operated on by Dr. Halsey is hitting some of the most unbelievable shots ever right now during this mission that she, Will, Fred, and Master Chief are on. There was another Spartan on the mission as well, Grace, but she died. Master Chief notified Linda, who has been skillfully surviving by herself, and still is as of my current location in First Strike, was just told by Master Chief that the Covenant are attempting to triangulate their signals when they use their COMS to find their locations. So, what is she doing in response? She is apparently firing her sniper rifle from some completely unknown position that even the Chief can't find, and easily picking off elites who are riding on Banshees in a single shot. That may not sound too crazy, but it gets even crazier when you consider that all three of the shots she fired -- that hit those 3 targets -- were all shots she had purposely fired with the intention to have them ricochet off one other object before it would make it's way to these 3 fast, flying and moving targets. Master Chief is completely blown away by her shooting right now, and even after these 3 impossible shots, with these 3 impossible kills, he STILL can't figure out just where the hell she is firing from. She is fresh off of a massive operation. She shouldn't even be on this mission right now. She should still be in resting for like a few more weeks, at the least -- and yet, is still able to perform at this level. [Edited on 12.28.2009 5:47 PM PST]
