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.

  • An interesting concept, but your timeline is a little off. For this "new improved clone" to have reached operational combat maturity, it must have been in the making from when the original Spartan II flash clones were given to their parents, when the technology obviously didn't exist. Second, the augmentation process wasn't necessarily improved upon, as some of the old chemicals were taken away to add in new substances to, in times of extreme duress or stress, make the frontal lobe's higher thought processes more recessive, and make the Spartan IIIs more instinctual, tougher, and more resilient. All of the characters that went groundside to defend the orbital generators werent specifically named, so its equally accurate to surmise that since Bungie sponsored the novels, would add another view to the multifaceted jewel of the halo universe, specifically the fall of Reach. We know what happened to Fred and Wills' teams. However, the storyline of the other Spartan teams that weren't heard from again and didn't make it to CASTLE base is speculative at best. With the Covenant attacking, communications are stretched thin, so its safe to assess that many things happened that as of yet are unknown, and weren't revealed in the novels or games. We so far only have the storyline of MC in the trilogy, with ODST being the exception, so why not go off on a new tangent? P.S. I'm glad to see that the novels took hold so well. I find the Halo storyline to be so much more in-depth than many other games, movies, or even novel series. They really have thought of some spectacular things, and left themselves enough loose ends to continue indefinitely. Not to mention before The Cole Protocal and Contact: Harvest, the entire storyline so far has only spanned at maximum 9 months, with the start of Reach and Halo CE in August of 2552, and Halo 3's end movie in March of 2553
