!!! Empty Throne Spoilers !!!

So like... if yall are wondering what the hell I'm talking about when I say "Tul Juran has a crush on Jai-006 and it just might be mutual," I have put together a nice little compilation of all the ways that Tul/Jai is inarguably canon

Like, deadass I spent like an hour and a half going back through Empty Throne and putting together a "TulJai sexual tension compilation" for yall under the cut, so yall better enjoy that shit (and also write fanfics for me because I have too many ideas rattling around in my skull to be able to pick one and write it)

But yea this is a canon ship and you cannot convince me otherwise

Like, deadass, in terms of downright flirtations and actually talking about the characters' feelings here, Tul and Jai is SOMEHOW MORE CANON THAN VALE AND USZE

Also we know, from the Cole Protocol and the ending of Envoy, that Grey Team is one of the few groups of Spartan II's who don't like to just stay in their armor 24/7 unless someone tells them not to. They will actually take their Mjolnir off when they're aboard a ship, in a possible combat zone, but not actively IN combat, which means that 'Juran is gonna get to see what Jai looks like without all that titanium plating, and with the Blademaster out the picture, they're also probably gonna end up sparring at some point.

And just as an aside, in case you missed it in Cole Protocol, Jai and Michael are both black and Adriana is slavic. Just, y'know, in case that comes up. Kinda funny that Jai and Tul, despite their two species having almost no overlap between their skin tones, are almost the same color underneath the armor.

What Spartans Remain?

Because I went down the Halopedia rabbit hole and I'm an obsessive nut, I've put together a list of all the Spartan-IIs, just to figure out who's alive, who's dead, who's missing, and the numbers which are unaccounted for

Alright so, there were at least 150 candidates considered for Spartan-IIs, half were conscripted, and of that 75, we have at least 50 named (or at least numbered) individuals

Jai-006

Serin-019 (washout)

Robert-025

Kelly-087

Jerome-092

Musa-096 (washout)

August-099

Fred-104

Red Four (2552)

Status unknown:

Kirk-018 (washout, possibly rehabilitated)

Soren-066 (alive as of 2527)

Rene-081 (washout, possibly rehabilitated)

Carris-137 (alive as of 2520)

Spartans-116, 118, 119, 121, 123, and 124 (possibly the unidentified trainee and Spartan, as well ass Beta-Romeo Actual, Red-Fifteen, Red Four, and Red Nineteen)

Missing numbers:

Spartans number 001, 002, 003, 004, 007, 009, 012, 013, 014, 015, 016, 017, 020, 021, 022, 024, 026, 027, 032, 033, 035, 036, 038, 040, 041, 045, 046, 048, 049, 050, 054, 055, 056, 057, 060, 061, 063, 064, 067, 068, 070, 071, 072, 074, 076, 077, 078, 080, 082, 083, 085, 086, 088, 089, 090, 091, 094, 097, 098 (according to the silver timeline, Spartan-098 is named "Nora"), 100, 102, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 112, 113, 114, 115, 126, 127, 128, 131, 132, 133, 135, 136, 138, 139, 140, 142, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150 (I'm sure I messed up somewhere)

obviously given that not all 150 candidates were recruited, some (about 70) of these numbers did not actually become Spartans, trainees or otherwise, such as Caleb-095, the father of Olympia Vale

Additionally, Spartans-028 (Riz), 125 (Kai), and 134 (Vanak) do exist per 343's internal documentation, but as of yet have not appeared in the Prime timeline

therefore there are about 19 confirmed living Spartans, 24 confirmed dead, 7 possible dead, and 12 unknowns, for a total of 62 (or 65 counting the silvers), so there are at least 10-13 other Spartans we have not met, be they active, retired, washout, dead, or missing
