If we did I imagine quite a few people would end up fired, hung or maybe stood in front of a firing squad for general incompetence, gross conduct among other things.

Well we most likely won't have any say in how ONI is run. So quit dreaming.If we did I imagine quite a few people would end up fired, hung or maybe stood in front of a firing squad for general incompetence, gross conduct among other things.

ONI prior to Travis is at least competent, after Travis I'd sooner work for the CIA that's how bad they are.
Also, remember the data gathered reports a civil war between humanity and the Innies aren't as kind as people try to make them out to be. Human trafficking, using nuclear bombs on innocent cities, explosive tires set to blow up various places that aren't even related to the UNSC and more.

We do not talk about Karen Travis here...That is one rule here. Her writings destroyed the Halo franchise for me.
As I said, we won't be running Oni, just stopping the bad guys and killing aliens.

I agree with the first. I agree with that very much.
Also, never said we were. Just explaining ONI rationale and the Innies bad points.

Will it be possible for us to have something like a favored weapon? Like a Magnum or a DMR or a BR that we just have more ease of using?

Again, we're just going to be a badass super soldier. We fight bad guys who break the damn law and kill other humans... The only problem is we're child soldiers being broken down and molded into killing machines.

Yes. That won't happen until we're in boot and in the loving arms of CPO Mendez.
That man is the only one who has your best interests at heart... even if he cannot show it and it's through military training.

Again, I understand that. But my point doesn't relate to that... my point is expressedly at the people talking about ONI like it's Uber terrible. Not to mention allowing the reason for why the Spartan Program was made to be seen.
Also, if we fail our enhancement stuff assuming you're rolling for that... there definitely is ONI. But that's neither here nor there.

We are the good guys, its what the spartans are. Our bosses... well we won't be dealing in any moral quandaries if that is what you are asking.
Oh, and there will be sabotage in the project from other branches of ONI who think that the SPARTAN project is a waste of time and resources. But we've got Halsey, Parangosky, and Ackerson watching our backs... so we won't have to worry about the politics of ONI.
Unless we want to get involved in the politics of ONI.

Aw I'm a bit disappointed that Cayde's designation isn't 006, in respect for Cayde 6 from Destiny. Anyway! Thanks for the chapter, and keep up the good work.

Max's other skill sound absolutely broken. Automatic Rerolls until he succeeds or dies? Granted, the dying part could be very bad unless he was just hit with a bad roll to start...

It has a -10 for every failure. If he fails enough times, he'll be deader then dead, unless someone bails his ass out of the fire.

Hot damn mama! Will we ever get the chance to personally give our body cybernetics in the Spartan II Program? If not then we might have some slight troubles along the way!

You can, behind Halsey's back... but you probably won't get the chance to do that without some serious planning ahead on your part. Especially if you modify yourself before the Spartan II augmentations.
Or you can learn how to be human... that will work too.
Edit: Halsey will not approve of us trying to modify our body with cybernetics.

Oh trust me... you can get away with a lot of cybernetic mods that won't affect the Spartan II augs. Now, will they affect your ability to survive the Spartan II augmentations? now that is debatable.
Though I will recommend against getting them unless you are prepared... because the way to put them in is quite painful.

Boot 1: Welcome to Boot
You do not remember what Dr. Halsey said. The drugs in your system made you too groggily, too weak to even move.
"You will be the Protector of earth and all her colonies."
Those were the only words you heard. And you were comforted by them… like you were finally getting something you finally wanted.
"UP BOOT!" A voice boomed in your ear, as the sounds of banging trash cans entered your ears. You calmly allowed your eyes to flutter open and you moved off of your bed. The memories were fuzzy, but you realized you were not in your home in Harvest.
You were in a barracks of some sort, and you knew that there were other children in here with you. They were frightened and scared, confused and felt alone.
You were not. You were oddly comfortable with the area you found yourself in. The sound of confusion made your mind focused.
"BOOT! GET UPI!" A loud voice shouted, and one of the children were hit with some kind of weapon.
It was then you saw the electricity come from the stick. A stun baton.
So they were not afraid of hurting children? The thought made you both sick and overjoyed. These people would treat you like the bright child you were, not coddling you, but forcing you to fight to survive.
Wait… Oh, that baton was coming to hit you.
Side Stepping: 1D100 => 87+50=137
The baton quietly sailed through the air as you ducked below it, using your short height to make the man miss, and make him strike the bed you were sleeping in. You stood in front of your bed like everyone else, feeling a small smile crack up on your face.
"Today we begin training and from this day onwards you will always wake up like this and get in position in front on your bed!! You have 5 minutes to be ready and if you're not you will not receive breakfast, now go quickly!" Another instructor shouted. "SHOWERS ARE AFT! GET CLEAN AND CHANGED INTO PT GEAR, THAN WAIT OUT FRONT OF THE BARRACKS! DOUBLE TIME!"
All the children in the barracks moved towards the showers and stripped. Quite a few children were uncomfortable, taking off their clothes while other people were around them. But the batons and the scary men with them were enough to make them get under the cold water and take a very quick, very cold shower.
It was invigorating feeling the cold water against your body, and you cleaned yourself as quick as you could, and found the fresh set of clothes on your bed.
The sweats and shirt said 'Cayde-007'
You tried not to laugh at the joke from old 20th through 23st century pop culture. The James Bond Franchise ended in the 2300s, after the Rainforest Wars and the birth of Human interplanetary colonies, and with the Era of Optimism that followed, along with the Shaw- Fujikawa slipspace drive propelling Humanity into the stars.
But the joke quickly lost it's humor as you walked out of the Barracks, one of the first of the children to do so. You wished to find Max and Able. You wanted to know if they were with you… if they were safe.
But soon other children filed out of the other barracks, and soon it was impossible to see beyond a few people.
And the man in front of you's voice carried through the air, and the children, including yourself oddly enough, gravitated towards the man.
"I AM CHIEF PETTY OFFICER MENDEZ! I WILL BE YOUR SENIOR DRILL INSTRUCTOR! THE MEN BESIDES ME WILL BE MY ASSISTANTS IN YOUR FIELD TRAINING! YOU WILL FOLLOW THEIR ORDERS WHEN GIVEN AT ALL TIMES! YOU WILL ADDRESS US AS SIR AT ALL TIMES! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?" Mendez shouted.
"Yes, sir." There was a weak chorus of voices.
"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Mendez shouted.
"YES, SIR!" Three hundred voices joined as one.
"LET'S MOVE WE'RE RUNNING!" The man said as he began running. In formation, the children moved after him.
Minutes passed though it felt like hours to everyone, including you.
Children puked were beaten by the men with their stun batons or wept in confusion. The suddenness of the change was traumatizing them.
Mental State: 1D100 => 70
But you did not follow those feelings of fear and confusion. You just pushed onwards. You needed to find Max and Able.
You stopped and did squats. Than sit-ups, then push-ups and crunches and scissor kicks.
Soon you stopped with the conditioning. Mendez's eyes went to all the children. "THIS WAS A PATHETIC FIRST DAY! BUT YOU WILL GO TO THE CLASSROOM AT YOUR SIX TO START YOUR LESSONS UNLESS YOU WISH TO TAKE PART IN EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES!"
What do you do?:
[]Go To Class: You are tired, maybe you can get some rest in class. Maybe you might actually learn something.
[]Talk to Chief Petty Officer Mendez: There are some questions you wish to ask. Like why is he acting like an asshole to a bunch of children who are clearly frightened and are not coping with the situation?
[]Request to Speak to the Commanding Officer: You want to talk to the commander in charge about the legality of this operation, and how to avoid problems. Because you can tell there will clearly be problems with this operation. If not from you, then from the hundreds of scared children there.
[]Participate in Extracurricular Activities: What the hell, you might have some fun with them.
If you go to Class What do you do?:
[]Listen: Absorb the lesson being taught to you, it could be important.
[]Rest: Your body is not feeling very well. You need to relax a little.
[]Make a Friend: You are going to try to socialize with someone... As terrifying as it sounds.
If you participate in E.A what do you take part in:
[]First Aid: Well mom was a doctor… maybe you have the ability to do it.
[]Robotics: "Do not rely on this machine to win your battles."
[]Hand to Hand: "So someone has the balls to do hand to hand the First day...I'm impressed." and for a brief moment, it was the nicest thing the SDI has said to you all day which was not saying a lot because he then threw you down to the ground in a choke hold.
[]Vehicles: "Technically You are not supposed to learn how to drive until you are ten...but Fuck what Ackerson thinks."
[]Piloting: "Good thing we have flight sims."
AN: Enjoy.

He has a chance to meet them in class, but right now, he cannot look for them until the bell test when the Spartans are assigned teams.
