[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DeBleserMike Come on, how long will she live? How old is she already? 96? So she arrested Halsey for saving humanity while she violates the laws of the UNSC military by more than stretching her service time?! Isn't this a bit ridiculous?[/quote] Not to mention holding a Spartan for questioning while Earth was attacked. And aiding the enemy of humanity by giving weapons to anti-human groups of Elites. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ROBERTO jh She arrested Halsey for squandering ONI funds towards an unauthrozed project, not for the Spartans themselves. And the UNSC asked her to stay on because she's very effective. But by Halo 4's time, she's probably dead by now.[/quote] In a briefing about the s3's, ackerson brought up the cloning. Parangosky was not shocked, surprised, or otherwise affected by the news. She always new about the flash-clones. Hell, LOOK at the scanned trailer. It shows what the book said, flash clones replaced the children at the kidnapping. How the -blam!- would she have not known about it until years later? Edit: seriously, ONI -blam!- (in glasslands) messed up handling the parents. They COULD HAVE used their BRAINS and twisted the situation to prevent Naomi's dad from going crazy and her mom from suiciding. They did nothing. Oh, and basically you and Parangosky agree it's FAR, FAR better that the parents sit there wondering what happened to their disappeared child and NEVER, EVER knowing the kid's fate them to see the child die, grieve, then move on? Halsey has moral high ground there. Unlike Parangosky's dumb ass, she knew the Spartan 2's could NEVER return to their families. edit2: And even if Parangosky totes the "I know I'm not morally better." She and kilo-5 sure damn act as if they have the moral high ground. edit3: Ah, but I should know better. You've basically admitted to licking 343's boots when you talked about how we should ignore everything bungie has done visually because it's 'irrelevant' since 343 took over. You literally don't give a damn about any of the lore before 343 started adding to it. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TedToaster22 I'm saying it shouldn't have been done (the events of Halo 4 have proved it was well worth it), but it's incredibly hypocritical for Paragonsky to accuse Halsey of "directing valuable war assets away from Earth."[/quote] ^ see the above where ONI held Fred for questioning while Earth was under attack and it wasn't until Lord Hood went in that it was ended. Earth burns, and they question Fred instead of letting him fight. [Edited on 12.09.2012 10:40 PM PST]
