Halsey is alive?

Ok, I find it hard to comprehend why it took me so long to think about this but at the end of Halo: Reach, the final ‘monologue’ is read by what sounds to be Halsey. She says something along the lines of; “Your victory was so close. I only wish you could have lived to see it”. This, in turn, implies that Halsey is still alive and therefore must have, as per usual, gone against Noble team’s orders and instead of heading to castle base, escaped the planet before Reach was glassed. This may also imply that Noble 3 (Jun) is still alive too.

What do you guys think about possibilities of Halsey returning later in the series?

Also, could someone please try and find a flaw in my theory because it seems far too simple. xD

She’s in a forerunner shield world I believe right now, but yes, she is on Reach on 2589(?).

Jun is dead, he died transporting Halsey after the covenant attacked.

> She’s in a forerunner shield world I believe right now

Isn’t she aboard the ONI ship after being interrogated by Parangoski? She was arrested on Onyx / Trevelyan by Osman, Vas and co and taken to be “questioned”. I seem to recall she was recruited by Parangoski to be “somewhere she’ll be useful and no trouble to anyone” and that she may still face the death penalty for her her crimes?

In answer to your question; I still see Halsey playing a big role in the Halo universe; probably along the Cortana story arc…

I’m more interested in what Thel Vadamn is getting up to!

Last time I remembered in Glasslands, she was stuck with some Spartans in a shield world, I can’t remember which one though.

she was on Onyx, which ONI designated Trevelyan at Halseys request (as it was John’s orignal surname). She was then arrested and take aboard the ONI ship that Parangoski arrived on, but I don’t think it was mentioned which ship (the phrase “the mountain is coming to Mohammed” was used in the book)… so it could be Infinity, although I doubt it.

ONI picked her up at the same time they dropped off the Sanghelli who attacked Vas at the weapons drop (his name evades me).

I think this is all correct; I don’t have the book to hand

She was stuck on a shield world, named Trevelyan, but was rescued by Osman and them.

Ahhh, thanks, I haven’t got around to reading all of Glasslands.

Actually it was Kurt, and it was for the sacrifice he made.

the last location that we (see) halsey is onboard The Ivanoff research station that is monitoring Installation 03.

source Glasslands

She is alive because after the events on Halo, she saved Linda (a Spartan) from death. Linda had been in Cryo in space and was saved by Halsey after they all returned to Earth.

thanks for correcting it; I didn’t have the book to hand… I knew I’d -Yoink- up some part of it lol :slight_smile:

Officially she IS dead. But you know how ONI is, she’s still useful to a point, so her “death” as it were is continuing her work without any recognition for it. It’s bittersweet but she deserved it to be honest

Halsey went to castle, Jun died protecting her. Then, John returned to Reach in a Covenant ship and rescued her and his other Spartans. Halsey kidnapped Kelly and went to Onyx. On Onyx, she and several Spartan IIs and IIIs were stranded in a Sheild World. In Glasslands, thry are found, Halsey arrested. I believe Halsey is being held on a station around some Installation, Installation 03 I think. She is officially dead to the public, but really isn’t “dead”.

Actually it was Kurt’s. He died to ensure they made it into the shield world.

Yes she’s alive. She left AFTER it was glassed by hiding I believe, in Castle Base.
The books tell the story, I’d recommend them, they’re Great reads.

> Halsey went to castle, Jun died protecting her. Then, John returned to Reach in a Covenant ship and rescued her and his other Spartans. Halsey kidnapped Kelly and went to Onyx.

I believe Halsey is being held on a station around some Installation, Installation 03 I think. She is officially dead to the public, but really isn’t “dead”.

To be super accurate, the current whereabouts is a ONI Research Station orbiting Installation 03; another Halo uncovered by ONI.

I’ve seen it said twice now, but where exactly is the proof that Jun is dead?

> I’ve seen it said twice now, but where exactly is the proof that Jun is dead?

There is none. There’s no proof he’s alive, either. Honestly, either possibility could be true, but considering he didn’t play a role is First Strike, (for obvious reasons) and hasn’t been mentioned in any other media since Reach, most people assume he is dead.

Who knows, though? He could very well have survived Reach by living in the wilderness, evading the Covenant and surviving on a diet of space squirrels and pine cones until being rescued by the UNSC three years later and taken back to his home in Florida, where he now lives with his wife and eight children.

> There is none. There’s no proof he’s alive, either.

It should not be asserted as fact that he is dead, then.
