Halo 5 is the next-installment in the Halo Reclaimer Saga… to which the main focus is the Forerunners, Flood/Precursors and the super soldier we have grown with… since the beginning… the legendary John-117.
John has always had a companion of sorts… to boast his unforeseen Humanity, they are his confidant in times of peril… and he looks to them for moral counseling at times. Yet with the parting of yet another… are stoic hero is really feeling the burden of his tasks and mantle he holds… the protection and safety of the UNSC.
The past companions have ranged from fellow Humans, deranged Sangheili and a precarious Smart AI… to which have all died… protecting John, Humanities last hope. We have had direct companions and even in-direct… these are:
- Doctor; Catherine Elizabeth Halsey. [Human]
- Senior Chief Petty Officer; Franklin Mendez. [Human]
- Petty Officer Second Class; Samuel-034. [Human] /d
- Petty Officer; Linda-058. [Human]
- Petty Officer Second Class; Kelly-087. [Human]
- Lieutenant, Junior Grade; Frederich-104. [Human]
- Smart AI; Cortana. [AI]/d
- Captain; Jacob Keyes. [Human] /d
- Sergeant Major; Avery Junior Johnson. [Human] /d
- Monitor; 343 Guilty Spark/Chakas. [Forerunner Ancilla]*
- Commander; Miranda Keyes (b. Halsey). [Human] /d
- Flood Gravemind. [Flood/Precursor] /d*
- Kaidon/Arbiter; Thel 'Vadam. [Sangheili]*
- Shipmaster; Rtas 'Vadum. [Sangheili]*
- N’tho 'Sraom. [Sangheili]*
- Usze 'Taham. [Sangheili]*
- Contender-class Ancilla; 05-032 Mendicant Bias. [Forerunner Ancilla]
- Captain; Thomas Lasky. [Human]
- Spartan Commander; Sarah Palmer. [Human]
- Lifeshaper/Librarian; First-Light-Weaves-Living-Song. [Forerunner]*
But now without any companion who will John undertake for his Humanity and counseling? My guess is Spartan Blue Team; Fred-104, Kelly-087 and Linda-058… with perhaps Spartan Red Team; Alice-130, Jerome-092, Douglas-042, backing them up… behind the scenes.
Here is a video summing up the events of what the Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 must be thinking… prior or during the events of Halo 5.
