Are Spartans allowed internet access?
One just asked for a tumblr account
Since the Spartans are already declassified, sure. What could possibly go wrong?
Very much.
I am going to fucking sob. This person is either stupid or taking the piss. If you know what ONI is, then you know how bad they are.90% of the time they’re talked about by people who aren’t obsessed with the lore it’s talking about how they KIDNAPPED CHILDREN, brainwashed them, and did some severe augments to their body which killed or disabled multiple children, all to fight some terrorists, the covenant didn’t exist when the Spartans were made.
And that’s just the surface lore the average guy knows. If you go deeper they actively arm (and helped) alien terrorists, almost committed a genocide by making a strain of crop that would kill most of the elite population, l DURING A CEASE FIRE. They tested with the flood on prisoners and pows, which is a war crime and morally wrong.
That’s all I could think of off the top of my head, but there’s a lot more. Just imagine the CIA but like 100x more evil and with almost no regulation or morals.
They are called Human Rights for a reason, it doesn’t mention little grey crabs or massive monkeys.
Glyke had it coming.
0 x100 is still zero.
What does your helmet smell like?
Outside: Metal. Shield generator. Dirt.
Inside: Air scrubbers. Sometimes me. New helmet smell if I screwed up bad enough in the last month or so.
what's a new helmet smell like exactly?
Plastic, mostly. Takes a while for that to settle down. Helps if you can wash out the liner and let it air.
There's a good period you get into for a bit where it doesn't smell new, but the old helmet stink hasn't set in yet.
R&D should work on extending that.
What does shield generator smell like? I know… i uhh just can’t describe it… for a friend.
Oh lucky spartans with your "shield-generators" us odsts dont need shields to die en mass
Oh you guys have “stamina”, cry me a river
halo should have even more guys named john, it gets funnier every time
Arbiter Jah’ann Vadamee
arbiter in a funky dress
That is the most funky of dresses
my stupid son

You can’t mention having a car and *not* post a picture of said cat

Chief, how did you get through interacting with Del Rio without punching or strangling him once?
I can't afford impulses like that.
And I didn't need to do anything physically to work past Del Rio anyway.
He'd already lost that crew.
Don’t worry John, I gave him a good smack for ya
You didn't think you'd get rid of us that easy, did you?
Oh, no, not me.
I never lost control.

Happy birthday to Shipmaster Rtas 'Vadum!
Today is his -464th birthday!
Rtas was born on Sanghelios and raised in a keep by the sea. He spent much of his childhood exploring the shoreline and hunting the creatures within. He graduated with honors from a top war college, setting the course for his advancement.
By 2552, he held the rank of Special Operations Commander, specializing in discreet, unconventional warfare--often answering directly to a Hierarch. He served under then-Supreme Commander Thel 'Vadam(ee), who tasked him with investigating the agricultural support ship Infinite Succor, which sent the fleet a distress beacon. Once on board, 'Vadum(ee) discovered that the ship had been overtaken by the Flood, making him one of the first to encounter the outbreak from Installation 04. Recognizing the threat of the Flood spreading, he and his team fought their way to the bridge to initiate self-destruction protocols. Before he could escape, he was forced to fight his Flood-infected comrade, Bero 'Kusovai, who had been his best swordsman. During the engagement, the Flood form cut off 'Vadum's left mandibles with an energy sword, leaving him permanently maimed.
After the destruction of Installation 04, he and Thel 'Vadam were given a mission to find and kill Sesa 'Refumee, a Covenant defector who was labeled a heretic for his (correct) denial of the Great Journey. By this point, his once-superior Thel 'Vadam had been publicly shamed, stripped of his title, and was appointed as the Arbiter. Though Rtas lost respect for Thel, he still recognized him as a skilled warrior and valuable asset.

One of the worst things about working for ONI is that every now and then the pizza delivery guy will try to kill and replace you.
But, well. We can usually get our money back on those orders, so...
Sometimes when at my apartment and the pizza delivery comes I will put on my MJOLNIR and answer the door in it for shits and giggles.
Just don’t ask how I got a Spartan Peeler into my apartment… or how I got it at all in the first place.
Hey ONI, what's the current procedure on dealing with a S-IV that keeps dropping some solid confidential documents and details to one up another near non-official civilians? I swear I heard one kept speaking of dropping a 'Nova bomb' on a hingehead world.
If you go over the roster, you'll find that such Spartan IVs have never existed.
They've never existed.
Don’t listen to them Anon, a team of Spartans used a NOVA thermonuclear fission warhead on a Sangheli planet completely destroying the planet. For more information meet me a—
ERROR USER DISCONNECTED
Me trying to explain to the rest of my ODST squad that silenced smgs and shotguns are not always the most effective option (sarge (my sister) said they could take whatever they wanted from the armoury for this mission) (I'm the only one with a long or mid range weapon) (we're going to fucking die)
8 gauge shotguns have an effective range of nearly 100 meters. 300 if you use longer range slugs.
So cry about it smh.
Wait. They supply you with slugs? The fuck? I haven't seen anything but birdshot since 2552, which, well very nice at dealing with covvie shields is shit at any big distance considering birds don't have armour but covvies do.
You should speak to your unit’s sugar daddy supply Sargent and ask for AP, Sabot, or HE slugs.
Our supply Sargent "supplies" us by handing us a box with like seven (if we're lucky) loose 7.62 rounds. We get ammo by stealing from the Delta-Three odsts lol
Now I know you are probably talking about 7.62x51 for a MA— or DMR, but I imagine it’s like two of those, a 7.62x39 for a Kalashnikov, and like four 7.62x25 handgun rounds.
Anyways I would ask for someone higher up. I wouldn’t be shocked if some poor marines got your treatment, but ODSTs is kinda shocking tbh.
I think it's gods way of punishing delta three actually. I mean they deserve it. Also last month it was a whole three 7.62×51 rounds. No 7.62×39 though which sucked because I'm making a vest out of our Kalashnikov rounds. I got the idea when we got some 5.45×39 Kalashnikov as a treat 2 years ago. The 5.45 are the stripes.
What did Delta Three do???
I don't think I'm aloud to talk about my fellow soldier in a rude way on the official UNSC blog but I'll just say they're the ones you used to terrorize
Actually, I just thought of this.
Why is an ODST running the UNSC blog? I thought you’d be a random intern? What happens if you like… die?
