I just needed to come up with a suitably witty trait name.
Edit: She is the fastest human to exist in the Canon of Halo... so, believe me, it's appropriate.

-[X]Hand to Hand: Time to learn how to fight well. Rolled:1D100 => 52+30=82
Your father was the one who taught you hand to hand…
He taught you very well.
Reward: Hand to Hand set to ODST Rank.
-[X]Request to Speak to Dr. Halsey: You wish to speak to the good Doctor, and see how much has changed since your last encounter. Hopefully for the better. Rolled:1D100 => 89
"Doctor, are you alright?" You asked as you sat down in her office.
"Yes Gian, I am. At least for the moment." She replied with a smile. "By the way, thank you for you're gift, it is wonderful… I almost forgot what hot coffee tasted like."
You smiled. "Glad I could be of service to your desire to drink warm coffee."
There was a moment of silence, before she tapped her screen, and the room went dark.
"We have five minutes to talk, and I need you to listen to me very carefully." dr. Halsey stated as only a lamp illuminated her face.
Everything else was dark. "Your notes have reached the MJOLNIR project, and they will use it to make great strides in power armor development, hopefully in the future, you will be able to see it. Unfortunately, the reason you are here is simple. I fear I may be replaced, and than you will no longer have my protection."
"Protection?" You asked.
"Ever since you have arrived here, I was forced to make monthly reports about your progress, and that of all the spartans. You have been the one Parangosky has her eyes on."
"For what reason?"
Dr. Halsey sighed. "She believes you are too dangerous to be kept alive."
"Dangerous, why the hell would she consider me dangerous?" You asked. "I am serving with my fellow Spartans, I'm helping the UNSC, and I have given you the key to Humanity's future potential."
"Correct… that is why she wishes to kill you."
"Why the hell would she do that?!" You found yourself screaming. "Why would she sabotage herself, the human race?"
That made Halsey shake her head. "Because she has no control over you."
You raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
"Yes." Halsey replied. "You may think that being a Trainee will protect you, that any sort of compromise that you may think of will buy yourself more life, but that will not be the case." She leaned forward. "Your mind, since it is more free, more… cunning than her's. She will not stand it."
You sighed. "So what do you want me to do? Trust you?"
Halsey nodded. "For the moment. I may not have the pull I once had at ONI thanks to this project… But I have enough friends to keep you alive, and a Spartan."
You shook your head. "I want something in return Doctor, since you know I am so valuable."
Halsey gave a nod, as if she expected it. "Name your price?"
That made you smile. "We need to relocate the entire Program, somewhere she has no control over… and somewhere I can work in peace."
For a moment, you thought you saw a twinkle in the good doctors eyes. As if you were on the same wave length.
"I need something from you first." She replied.
"And that is?" You asked.
"What Planet?"
You gave her a nod. "You'll find out soon enough Doctor… just save my life first. I don't think it would matter if I died because of one Admirals ego."
Reward: Dr. Halsey is doing everything in her power to save you and the rest of the Spartans from the Admirals machinations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Dr. Halsey POV)
The Admiral was everything you remembered her to be. Ice cold, stern, and utterly ruthless. Her uniform was full of the medals and ribbons of her long and decorated career.
"Admiral." you stated cooly as she sat down at your desk, looking through the files that you had haphazardly prepared, in between the moments of looking for your coffee cups, and prepare for Gians' survival. "I trust you have a reason to appear unannounced at this place?"
The Admiral for her part, only gave a frown. "I want to know about the boy?"
"Which one?" You asked, not trying to play dumb, but to buy time.
"You know damn well who I am talking about. I am transferring him out of the Spartan Program." She replied.
"That would require him to become a civilian again as per the Spartan protocols and Amendments you signed off on." You chuckled. "And I would doubt that he would follow you when the Sargent would advise him against it."
"He will follow, or he will be punished."
You then gave a smile "I think he knows that as well, and I believe he will try to escape."
Parangosky Roll:1D100 => 27+100(???)=127
"Then tell me, what is to stop me from removing you from this project? Your allies in ONI are all dead, or in places where they cannot help you."
Halsey Roll:1D100 => 85+40 (Genetic Reveal)+20(Reclaimer)=145
"Reclaimer."
The Admiral froze. "How did you-?"
"You think you're the only one that knows?" You asked, playing every Card you have on this insane gamble.
"How?" She asked.
"You're not the all powerful god of ONI you believe you are." You stated, before standing up. "Now get out of my office, before I decide that you would be better gone… then in your position."
There were no words exchanged when the Admiral walked out of the door.
But in that moment, you truly believed you were about to die.
But she did not call your bluff. In fact, she was just as scared as you were of her, that you knew something that she must have only known.
You sighed and stated. "Deja."
"Yes Doctor?" The AI responded.
"Tell Mendez to start Plan Delta… we're relocating." You stated.
"Where Doctor?" She asked.
Where is the Spartan Program Relocated:
[]Earth: All your allies are there, along with the Sergeant Major's… You'll be safe enough there, even though it is right on ONI's Doorstep.
[]New Carthage: You need to start preparing the Spartans for their… new equipment. The MJOLNIR project may also require Gian's assistance to make it… to Gian's standards.
[]New Jerusalem: You have a feeling that this place will be far more able to… Teach the Spartans something about themselves. How to care for other people.
[]Eridanus II: The Hotbed for all the Insurrection and the UNSC… a true place to test the Spartans… and also, a place where you can possibly make peace on.
[]The UNSC Beacon: A Large Training Battlestation on the edge of Human Space that has a very interesting contact. Captain Cranfield the self-proclaimed enemy of Enemy of Admiral Parangosky and the corrupt and overbearing UGE and ONI, one that you were sure would agree to a company of super-soldiers joining his ranks so he could just avoid the Admiral like he wanted to. Something about his daughter being kidnapped by ONI… You wonder which child is his?
[]Onyx: You only heard the Name from the Reclaimer… that was where the Symbol Gian translated was from… there is already a camp there, and plenty of ways to get extra supplies. A Perfect hidey hole, for a super soldier training camp.
ANL Enjoy.

Onyx... oh god. Putting a creature like us on the same location with a planetary mass of von neumanns? Attached to a hole in the universe with a shield world on the other side. Jesus fucking Christ that ends weirdly.
Its tempting but I'd almost rather go with Eridanus (a broad swath of the Insurrection doesn't get destroyed, rather assimilated) or Beacon (we start remaking the engine of war early with a receptive audience) just because they have people though. Going this alone results in our going even more villain than we already would.
You know, I like Onyx... a lot... but I'll vote differently.

Well we'd definitely be close to the seat of power.
Shiny.
Nice peaceful little rock.
John's homeworld?
I sense a plot hook.
All the shit going down here. Would definitely get us a head start on the later shenanigans.
Definitely. Leaning towards Onyx for now, but Carthage and the Beacon are both very tempting.

Come on guys, we can get humanity a huge advantage if we play our cards right here..
Foreunner tech accessible before the covenant even show. You guys want massive upgrades right? This is the place to get them..beyond anything humans or covenant can make.

Then Cole is eventually killed because his wife is an Insurrectionist, and anyone with a spine and shred of moral fiber soon follows, leaving the UNSC gutted and the UEG even more in flames than it already was by the time the Covenant show up.

So, Brick falls, everyone dies.
Wed also have no allies and connection to other people even more than in canon.
So does that mean Jameson is dead
