Do you believe the Master Chief succeeded because he was at his core, broken?
That’s where it all starts, the office of naval intelligence. As you know, after the presumable “death” of Master Chief, ONI jump-started the Spartan program once again. But do you think they just “re-vamped” the program out of the kindness of their dear hearts? No, the spartan program was active once more because they had their excuse, or if you will, their “martyr”. The Master Chief’s death was ONI’s excuse of the Spartan program returning, why do you think that un-named man interrogating Halsey in the beginning of Halo 4 wanted to know so much about the Spartan-II’s behaviors? His motive was to re-create the Master Chief, or just create an effective spartan like Master Chief.
However, when ONI’s Martyr comes back from the dead, how do you think they respond? Sure, Chief saved humanity from extinction again from the Didact, but they don’t care, thus starts Chief’s supposed “crimes”. If you know anything about Halo 5’s plot, then you know why Chief is on the run. Because he apparently shot-up an alien-human peace treaty, and the human ambassador was killed. However, I think that wasn’t him, it was all ONI, and now they’re covering it up.
And I think Locke knows/was in on it, think about it. In the live action trailer, the way he talks about chief, in his tone is a lot of hate and sarcasm. But why? Why is Locke so mad at the chief, well my theory is that HE was supposed to be like the next Master Chief. The strongest Spartan or the best if you will.
So Locke’s mission isn’t what we thought it was, bring Chief back? That’s too simple, my assumption is the true mission is search and destroy. He’s recruited his own team to hunt MC, but they don’t seem all convinced. Buck even questions Locke’s motives, as well as the Arbiter.
Now, Chief is on the run for his life, Cortana’s dead, and the people that ave his back is his old team, Fred, Linda, and Kelly. But do they stand a chance against Locke and Fireteam Osiris? Or the entire UNSC? We’ll find out in Halo 5…
Thanks for reading, see you on the field Spartans
