Go on to survive the entire human-covenant war, survive against counter terrorist UNSC units, make a whole new family, and at long last, after nearly forty years of searching, meet his fully grown-up, super soldier of a daughter, and continues to survive to this day, knowing he accomplished what he set to do all those decades ago.

The story behind the Spartan program is such a very conflicting story. On one hand, you can't help but agree that had it not been for the Spartans, humanity would have been doomed. So many victories wouldn't have been achieved without them, and of course without Chief, life in the entire galaxy would have been extinguished, either by the flood or the covenant successfully firing the rings. On the other though, kidnapping Children and robbing them of their childhood and putting them through excruciating experiments, as well as making their parents believe that their Child just suddenly died from an unexpected illness when really they are alive is just outright inhumane and disgusting. Such a sad story.

I wouldn't say this was a "HEARTBREAKING ENDING", he is still alive and free and he knows his daughter is still alive and he wasn't crazy, he also knows she has no regrets and, lets be honest here, his daughter is a Hero! Her and her other Spartan brothers and sisters saved Humanity from the Covenant, there is no way he is not proud of her. So not a Disney ending, but I still wouldn't call it heartbreaking.

[@TheMeta141]

his daughter was kidnapped. experimented on. and indoctrinated to fight and die for the UNSC, she even said she was willing to kill her father who was doing this for her. after spending 30+ years looking for her, surviving the covenant war and becoming the very terrorist she was created to fight, she's completely indoctrinated into believing the same lies ONI and the UNSC told the public to cover up why the Spartans II's were made. and after BEGGING her to come live with him and meet her half siblings she told him she was HAPPY where she was, she was HAPPY to fight, kill. and die for the people who stole her away from her family. lied to her about her parents giving her up, turned her into a killing machine at the age of 6. her and the other Spartans saving humanity from the covenant doesn't excuse or absolve ONI and UNSC of the inhuman acts they did to these kids and their families. the Spartan II's were created to fight insurrectionists,

[@reapordeath]

The term here would bittersweet. Sweet because the father got to see his baby girl all grown up. But bitter because she is a puppet for the UNSC.

In times of war, it's often justifiable. In case of Spartan II, as cruel it sounds, it was justified. Because Spartan II-s saved so many countless, and turned the war on mankind. Spartan III was more humane, I think. My problem and hate is, that war never really ends, the Oni and their doing, never really ends. The cruelty and lies, secrets, keep on going. Not that I'm entirelly okay with how these soldiers were "sacrificied". Same with reality, wh40k, star wars, etc.. Sometimes I do understand it. But what happens today, in the richest of mankind, in the longest peace time in history. How is our doing justifiable? It's not.

[@ic4192]

MamboJambo Spartan III played on the trauma of children. I would not call it humane. With Spartan II ONI was looking at the big picture, thinking long term, and grand scale, rather than thinking of individuals

[@Kareszkoma]

Spartan III was made of orphans who had nowhere to go, to begin with. You need children to make Spartans. So they choosen the best applicants, with the least hurt and pain. The orphans were also given a purpose. Aka look at orphans in irl, and how many of them ends up well. Some of the foster homes are just criminal trainers.

Yes. I cry at the end every time. "...Part of me wants to give them a choice... would any of them even refuse?..."

Some of the Halo books have way better stories than the games.

[@user-vi5jd5xr6q]

Most extended lore is better than the mainstream content it comes from, you just have to Read into it

[@alibialexander]

Yup the books actually makes the characters like Locke and the spartan 4s relevant. The games pretty much shit on all the lore imo

[@Anton-qc1fk]

NemFX I remember in middle school I read Halo: The Flood thinking it would be something cool to read and ended up becoming mad desensitized with how fucking gruesome it was. I vividly remember the description of Jenkins’ transformation.

[@Quattro_Joe]

The Kilo 5 trilogy is an absolute must read/audiobook for every halo fan. The 3 ODST’s are brilliant

[@Kevin7557]

UNSC: please help us fight Cortona. Insurgents: after all you have done? No.

[@onalennamoroeng3945]

Good video, man

[@stijnVDA1994]

Honestly this story really puts the perspective and makes clear how sad some stories were and how much all of the spartan 2's that still survive deserve to know if their parents are alive and getting the chance to accually meet them and have both sides either have the chance to meet them every once in a while for therapy reasons and to help spartans grow again make them great soldier but at the least let them become what they started life as, great humans. And yes both sides might never heal fully but deserving to know the truth and allowing to see them.

[@pstrang7859]

For the entire story of Naomi 010, read the books Ghosts of Onyx, Glasslands, Thursday War, and Mortal Dictata. Amazing series of books especially if you're a Halo fan

[@jorgedelgado5292]

You know... what’s sadder than being abducted as a child and being replaced by a clone...is the short, empty and painful life of the clone.

Crazy how we love Spartans so much we forget they're basically kidnapped child soldiers.

[@SrgtBarney]

I honestly want a game about that planet where the humans and aliens just chilling together but the enemies are the unsc and covenant. Like a fun spinoff and a brand new world to explore in the Halo universe with room for fresh ideas after Infinite.

[@httydtheorist2154]

I love ur videos makes me feel like a spartan

[@ComfortsSpecter]

That was amazing writing had me tearing up thinking about this little girl with terrible motor function just dying horrifically, his wife getting sterilized and committing suicide imagining this schizo Elijah type dude who spent his whole life trying to find his kidnapped daughter Literally buying a planet killer just to threaten the unsc into revealing what happened to his daughter That’s amazing Edit: not to mention this average 6 foot elderly dude breaking down and hugging his 7 foot tall daughter for the first time since she was 6

[@SilverLightDarkSoulsLover1998]

This touched my soul. I'd be willing to do the same for my daughter but in all reality Is probably be killed attempting to do so. The UNSC isn't a joke, and determination only gets you so far against ships the sizes of planets. 😅

[@noneofyourbusiness2437]

Only the Forerunners and possibly the Covenant had the technology to build ships the size of planets. The UNSC and ONI do not.

[@SilverLightDarkSoulsLover1998]

@@noneofyourbusiness2437 I may have exaggerated the ship size but it doesn't change the fact most rebels would probably fall to them. Thanks for the info though!

[@burnttoqst9061]

my favorite series in all of the novels.

[@justchilling704]

The SPARTAN II program was the most unjustifiable one the second being the 3rd program, but only was it highly illegal, it no regard was shown towards the rights (or lives) of the children or their parent’s. To make matters worse it wasn’t even made to counter the Covenant it was made to fight the Insurrection. A much better idea would be to create advanced armor for you average troops like in AW with the Exoskeletons, the UNSC is so dysfunctional.

[@mrstealyogirl9830]

[@MrB00mbang]

Naomi and her father sound like they could have their own story in Halo show. Great concept.

[@evangelionsimba]

Good video, the Kilo 5 trilogy is an awesome set of books written by my favorite author. Karen Travis such a great author. She even wrote the gears of war books as well as the story for gears of war 3. Shes also written alot of the star wars legacy universe books as well. If you listened to the audio book you would get the pronunciation of names and titles. Dicata - di(as in "die")-ka-tah Naomi - nay-oh-mi Venetzia - ven-et-zee-ah Beiloi - bel-oy (i spelled his name wrong i think.) Great books. Great review.

[@ryanthompson2723]

I'm actually confused as to WHY they (ONI) didn't just conscript kids voluntarily. Not like in the billions and billions of humans and planets you wouldn't be able to find them, as fucked as our world is right now I'm sure some parents would LOVE to ship them off to something like that.

*ONI OPEN UP!!!*

[@theldraspneumonoultramicro405]

this particular story would be awesome as a movie or a short series.

[@DMNKNG-bi1rc]

I just noticed something that may have made fall of reach (the movie) far more emotional at the end. Seeing Noble six's helmet in the last few frames us knowing and seeing what happened during his last moments and having that emotional bond in our hearts for reach. In my honest opinion that would've given the movie an impacted on us.

[@DMNKNG-bi1rc]

I know fall of reach wasn't meant to be emotional but it would've been nice to have that.

I read this book when I was 12, never finished it and honestly this is a way happier ending than I ever expected

[@ryanhernandez5632]

Imagien the odds of this fathers not only finding the truth, succeeding on exposing it, and eventually finding his daughter but the fact his daughter survived nearly 5-6 decades of unfathomable war combat. The end of this sad tale was even more tragic when this long lived Spartan re-awoken memories was displayed to her. She was disgusted with all of what happend and even more so on what her father faced from the world, oni and there family. But as a soldier she burried her feelings and continued on doing her duty.

[@RandomInternetUser-yi5cc]

At least Staffan is still alive, and at least he finally knows what happened to Naomi. It ain't nice, I know it, but that's the happiest thing that can come out of this story.
