    Doesn't Halsey comment about this in one of the Kilo-5 books? When she's trapped in Onyx with Blue team and the Spartan 3s, she goes into idle mad scientist mode and starts speculating on whether the Spartans would have enough genetic diversity to repopulate, if the rest of humanity had been wiped out by the Covenant.

      zondcar fan123 Not really you see the SPARTAN I’s had biological augmentations, which means that their offspring were born with some augmentations, which in turn makes them by default better than the II’s, remember at the of the day the II’s aren’t natural. If a 1.1 got the same augmentations the II’s got they would have even better results.

    One issue I see with this entire rundown is the assumption that the augmentations are inheritable. The vast majority of S2 augmentations were chemical and surgical. Meaning materials added to the body or chemicals forcing the body's own natural processes to function in different ways. The ONLY inheritable augmentations are those that are genetic in nature, and even there I would argue that they would only pass down if the father is an S2 because, if I am not mistaken, women do not produce more egg cells as they age and genetic modifications propagate through new cells. Then again, this is somewhat weakened if female S2's actually do (and thus are incapable of menopause) or if the gene therapy tech of their time actually does the magic of rewriting already existing cells. Which is clearly magic.
    If not, then the resulting child of two S2's would be a human. And anything that'd make them better then a baseline (if such a thing can exist as a "baseline human") is simple eugenic breeding of two superior specimens, with some potential benefits from the father. I somehow picture a repopulation effort (considering BILLIONS have died and entire worlds burned) involving the best sources imaginable. Meaning quite a bit of male spartan's out-of-suit time at base might involve rubbing it out into a cup. And if female spartans aren't interested in using their eggs, those being harvested for use in in-vitro fertilization. Mix those two, get a healthy surrogate and boom, you got a "S2.1" without the donor parents ever having to see each other naked.
    But the flipside of this is that if the genetic alterations to the father side are extensive enough, they might just be incompatible to baseline human. Meaning any kind of fertilization has to be artificial.
    Finally, I would argue if such augmentations would even be anything you'd WANT passed on. As was said, some augmentations were specifically there to make others possible or stabilize them. The processes involved specifically cause the body to operate in ways not "intended". Our biological functions have very small margins for healthy individuals. If anything works differently, we can get debilitating issues. Like for example, if ANYTHING in the bone or muscle growth augs goes wrong, your muscle growths could go out of control or your bones fuse or never stop growing or even the living statue disorder where your muscles turn to bone. Or they would not develop at all if the modifications swings in the other direction.
    This is all, of course, based on our CURRENT understanding and technological capability in terms of chemical and genetic engineering. Halo-verse has a 500 year "head start" on us. And the power of Plot Armor and future magic.

    • @BlackEpyon
      @BlackEpyon 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      It depends on the nature of the gene therapy, and at what stage of the subject's development it is carried out. In the case of the Spartan IIs, their genetic augmentations were carried out before they hit puberty and their sexual organs were fully developed, in order that those augmentations would have the maximum effect when their "growth spurt" was undergone. This means that those genetic enhancements would be done, likely with a form of modified or artificial retro-virus, so that it would "infect" all present tissue and modify the genome so that all future cell division would replicate the modified DNA into the daughter cells, including the sexual organs as the Spartans hit puberty. About 8% of human DNA is from retroviruses that have inserted themselves into our ancestors genomes over the millions of years of evolution, so we know that this is definitely possible to do, even if we still need to work out the details.

      Halsey in her journal actually took that into account. And some gene therapy for S2 female Spartans actually begin before the overies produce the Egg cell batch. Plus most spartan augmentations genetically are within the .1 percent differential of human DNA variation.

      @Patient Devil as admirable as that idea is... Lets take say we take a look at spartan 2's. They have a mixture of genetic and surgical augmentations the surgical such as the re-inforced metallic bones would not be passed on. but on the other hand...some of the genetic may be passed on but even that is NOT gaurenteed. Thats not even accounting for the augmentations possibly increasing pregnency mortality for the mothers and the infants plus there are enough changes to the body structure to consider spartan 2's a branch race of humanity such as the operation know as a C-section may not be viable due to different growth times.
      While spartan 4's are weaker due to less surgical augmentations, more genetic i.e the weaker stable kind they would be more likley to pass on some of the augs but due to their advanced age and radiation exposure from covanent weaponry i honestly would not put all my eggs in these soldiers to pass on...
      Instead if i was oni and had to increase humanities long term survivalibility with augs. I would use the vacscene program to give children different augs in many different regions such as eye augs in western Europe, strength in Africa, hearing in Canada. Doing it this way not only would increase the chances of the augs being passed on to the next generation but would not be obvious to the layman that ONI is altering children on earth, thus increasing the pool of augs over the years

    Even more interesting is the possible socio-political effect of having what is essentially a hereditary warrior caste that is smarter, faster and stronger than any regular human could hope to be. The first generation might serve regular humans faithfully but maybe by the third they would want to rule, think like the followers of Charlemagne, and take chunks of the human territory for themselves thinking they deserve it essentially becoming 26th century superhuman barons and kings. You could have like Spartan 2.4s and 2.5s dividing themselves up into their version of noble clans like the House of John-117 and the House of Frederic-104.

The Spartan II's while primarily skilled for CQC, and for boots on the ground missions they were all trained to fly space ships and with the insane amount of knowledge that was crammed into their head by the time they were in there teens I'd honestly say that a Spartan II might be as dangerous flying a ship as on the ground. Also we only get the idea of Spartan's being bad in Ship to Ship combat because of how poorly humanity was doing against the Covenant. Who's ships were probably 300+ years more advanced then the Humans.

      @@crazyscotsman9327 Ok you seem to have misunderstood the scale im talking about here, sure what you said is true about a spartan flying a pelican (even though its a massive waste of their skills) but what i was reffering to was capital ships. You cant "fly" a frigate, you need a bridge crew and officers. Having all of these guys being spartans is ridiculous as its extremely expensive, but they also dont have any advantages. I dont remember saying that spartans were "bad", theyre skills are just not superhuman when they are asked to perform a function on a ship's bridge. It really dosnt give them any adventages to have lighting reflexes when ships are kilometers from each others, you also have to keep in mind that these ships arent able to turn very quickly like a fighter or a drop-ship. Preston cole, lord hood or captain keyes could easily wipe the floor against even a full bridge crew of spartans, they simply aren't much better than normal humans when it comes to capital ship warfare. The best comparison i could give you would be fet clones from star wars: on the ground they wipe the floor with anything else, but in space there advantages are very few for their cost. A spartan on a ship is also much more vulnerable than one on the ground, if a plasma torpedo hits the bridge and you have a spartan there, it dosnt matter if hes wearing the best armor mankind has ever made: if the ship armor dosnt stop it, hes going down with it. Im not saying spartans are bad in ship to ship warfare, just that they are white elephants and can be matched or even surpassed by normal humans there (why do you think humanity was doing so bad in space? spartans mostly couldnt make a difference there, but on the ground they could and did).
