== Lore/Backstory: ==
”Because of you, we found Halo, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory — your victory — was so close ... I wish you could have lived to see it. But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor — all burned and turned to glass. Everything ... except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild” - Eulogy of NOBLE 6 by Dr. Catherine Halsey
During the end of the battle of Reach, a lone spartan, B312 died alone, defiant to the end in the foothills near Aszod, Reach. Several years after his death, a group of scavengers found this weapon amongst scorched remains and a discarded MJOLNIR helmet. The case of the rifle was cracked and pitted, its electronics fried. They sold the weapon along with other recovered items to a UNSC quartermaster, who managed to retrieve the weapons serial number and discovered its heroic backstory. Over several months he proceeded to repair the weapon, keeping it as vintage as possible. Its firing mechanism as badly damaged, but he managed to make it semi automatic. With its electronics fried, he removed the digital display and installed a smart scope. The foregrip, receiver, and gas mechanisms were replaced with custom performance parts. The new receiver was from a MA2B, making the weapon use the heavier .390, providing more force and accuracy with each round.The result was a highly accurate weapon, a tribute to the Spartan who died alone, defiant to the end. After it was complete, it was reintroduced into circulation, inspiring others to fight to the end, to sacrifice for others.
