Log Archive/Leonidan Logs

AFTER HAVING BEEN GRANTED PERMISSION FROM THE TOP TIER OF OFFICE OF NAVAL INTELLIGENCE LEADERSHIP, THESE LOGS HAVE BEEN COMPILED IN ORDER TO STUDY ONE OF THE MOST RENOWNED SPARTAN (SPECIAL PROFICIENCY, ASSAULT, RECONNAISSANCE AND TACTICAL AUGMENTED NONCONVENTIONAL-FORCE) PROGRAM "QUERIES", 'THE LEONIDANS' (FOR OTHER QUERIES, SEARCH FOR FOLLOWING FOLDERS: HELLSPARTAN, HEADHUNTER, NOBLE, HERALD AND BLACK).
WHILE ALL 'LEONIDANS' - ALSO KNOWN AS ONI'S HANDS - HAVE BEEN DECLASSIFIED FOR QUITE SOME TIME, THEIR PREVIOUS STATUS AS TOP-SECRET HAS LEFT VERY LITTLE INFORMATION TO BE FOUND. NONETHELESS, I HOPE THAT THROUGH COMPILING THE DATA WE HAVE, WE'LL BE ABLE TO COME TO CONCLUSIONS AS TO THE LEONIDANS' ROLE IN THE HUMAN-COVENANT WAR. UNLIKE THEIR BRETHREN, THEY OPERATED AS LONE WOLVES WITH NOTHING EARNED AT THE END OF THE DAY.
IT'S TIME THEIR INTRIGUING PAST IS UNCOVERED. IT'S TIME TO DISCOVER HOW VITAL TO THEIR BRETHRENS' SUCCESS THEY WERE. LIKE THE LEONIDANS WHO PROVIDED ASSISTANCE TO THE SPARTANS AT THERMOPYLAE.

SUBJECT: OPERATION: DEVILRY
CHAUCER: WE NEED ONE.
SEAHAWK: BEGGING YOUR PARDON SIR, BUT WHAT?
CHAUCER: A TWO, WE NEED ONE, THEY’RE TO DAMN VALUABLE.
SEAHAWK: WITH RESPECT, HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU PROPORSE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT?
CHAUCER: SAME AS ALWAYS, NAB HIM, THEN CLEAN UP WHATEVER MESS IS LEFT OVER.
SEAHAWK: WITH CHARLIEHOTEL WATCHING? ARE YOU STUPID, OR CRAZY?
CHAUCER: BIT OF BOTH I THINK. BUT YOU KNOW THE RISKS, HOW CHANCY THOSE PROCEDURES ARE, IT’LL BE EASY ENOUGH TO BLAME IT ON THE AUGMENTs 
SEAHAWK: WHAT IF SHE DOESN’T BUY IT? THE LAST THING WE NEED IS HER ON OUR ASS. SHE GETS ON OUR TRAIL WITH A VENDETTA AND SHE’LL BLOW ALL SORTS OF OPS. AGENTS IN THE FIELD WILL BE GETTING EXPOSED ALL OVER THE PLACE.
CHAUCER: I’M NO IDIOT, I KNOW THE RISKS. BUT THE BENEFITS OUTWEIGH THEM. A TWO COULD DO US A GREAT DEAL OF GOOD. AND OTHER SECTIONS OF ONI ARE COOPERATING ALREADY.
SEAHAWK: I’M NOT SURE ABOUT YOUR VALUE ESTIMATES FOR THOSE TWOS, BUT IF YOU SAY SO…
CHAUCER: I DO. GET A FLASH CLONE READY, WE’LL NEED TO HAVE IT READY BY AUGMENTATION DAY.
SEAHAWK: [sigh] UNDERSTOOD…ANYTHING THING ELSE?
CHAUCER: JUST GET IT READY HAWK, THEN THINK UP A PROBABLE CAUSE OF DEATH. I’LL SEND YOU THE GENETIC INFORMATION.
SEAHAWK: ROGER.
 
[pause: 15 and 1/2 seconds]
SEAHAWK: SIR?
CHAUCER: YES?
SEAHAWK: WHO ARE WE TAKING?
CHAUCER: NUMBER 144, I’LL SEND YOU HIS FILE.
[pause: 11 and 1/8 seconds]
SEAHAWK: BOTH FILES RETRIEVED.
CHAUCER: WELL?
SEAHAWK: ANTISOCIAL? RUTHLESS? FOUGHT ANOTHER TRAINEE? SOUNDS LIKE OUR KIND OF KID.
CHAUCER: INDEED.
SEAHAWK: I ADMIT HE’S PROABLY AS CLOSE TO PERFECT AS WE’RE GOING TO GET I THINK.
CHAUCER: QUITE LIKELY. JUST GET THE CLONE READY. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT LEAVE A SINGLE GODDAMN TRACE. CHARLIE HOTEL FINDS OUT ABOUT THIS, AND WE’RE BOTH DEAD. 
SEAHAWK: DON’T REMIND ME.

ALPHA PAPA, WE'RE GOING TO NEED YOUR SERVICES AGAIN. I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO ENJOY IT, FOR IT'LL PIT YOU AGAINST CHARLIE HOTEL.
MORE SPECIFICALLY, WE NEED YOUR SCIENCE DIVISION TO CREATE FOUR NEW FLASH-CLONES (DNA SAMPLES ARE ON THEIR WAY TO D-42 AS YOU READ THIS). WHO THEY RESEMBLE WILL BE MADE EVIDENT AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE THE SAMPLES.
WE ALSO NEED YOU TO GET SOME OF YOUR OPERATIVES TO INFILTRATE THE SPARTAN-II PROGRAM ON REACH SO THAT THEY'RE IN PLACE FOR THE OPERATION. AS SOON AS THE FLASH-CLONES ARE DONE, SHIP THEM TO REACH AT TOP SPEED. I'LL SEND ANOTHER MESSAGE AT A LATER POINT TO DETAIL THE SECOND HALF OF YOUR OBJECTIVE. UNTIL THEN, JUST FOLLOW THESE ORDERS TO THE LETTER.
AS ALWAYS, MAKE DAMN WELL SURE NOT TO REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE IN ANY WAY, AND DO NOT DISCLOSE THIS MESSAGE'S CONTENTS TO ANYONE WITHOUT THE CLEARANCE. FAILURE TO COMPLY, AND YOU WON'T BE AROUND TO TALK ABOUT IT.

SUBJECT: WASHINGTON'S QUERY
HELL, WORK'S BEEN A BITCH LATELY. REPORTS OF THE REMNANT'S RETURN HAS FLOODED MY DESK. FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN DRIVEN OVER BY A SCORPION. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT I'VE ALSO GOT TO DEAL WITH ALL RECONSTRUCTION REPORTS. GUESS THAT'S THE BACKSIDE OF BUILDING A NEW AWESOME MILITARY.
ANYWAY, I ENCOUNTERED SOMETHING THAT MIGHT INTEREST YOU GUYS. YOU KNOW SIERRA 108? THE SIERRA-TWO THAT WAS WITH ONI SEC-1? ON HIS WAY BACK FROM OPERATION: SAVIOR, THE SHIP MADE A STOP IN A CONTESTED SYSTEM NEIGHBORING K7-49 TO CHECK THE SLIPSPACE REACTOR BEFORE THE LAST TRIP BACK TO ARCTURUS. I SWEAR, THEY SHOULD'VE BEEN ASKED TO RETURN MUCH EARLIER. I MEAN, CAN'T THEY ACCEPT THAT ONE OF THEIR OWN IS LOST? JUST BECAUSE THERE'S NO PROOF THAT HE'S DEAD, IT DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY MEAN THAT HE'S ALIVE. I THOUGHT SIERRAS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO COPE WITH THIS KIND OF STUFF, INHUMAN AS THEY ARE.
POINT IS, SIERRA 108 FOUND A DAMAGED SUB-PROWLER IN THE SYSTEM. AND INSIDE? A FRIGGIN' SIERRA IN CRYO! NOT 117, BUT I GUESS IT SHOULD COUNT FOR SOMETHING. APPARENTLY HE'S A SURVIVOR OF OPERATION: PROMETHEUS, THE BATTLE THAT SUPPOSEDLY KILLED ALL ALPHA COMPANY TRAINEES. IF THAT'S TRUE, THEN HE'S HAD TO HAVE BEEN IN CRYO FOR 53 YEARS. THAT'S A LOT OF FREEZER BURN. SO, IT'S QUITE OBVIOUS THAT HE'S IN ROUGH SHAPE.
ALSO, IS YOUR FAMILY DOING ALLRIGHT? I HEARD YOUR SON IS GROWING UP JUST FINE. LET'S HOPE HE BECOMES A MARINE JUST LIKE HIS FATHER. WE NEED MORE BOOTS TO KICK SOME BRUTE BOOTIE THESE DAYS, DON'T YOU AGREE?

SUBJECT: FILE SKULBLAKA
MA'AM, I NEED SOME ANSWERS: YOU'VE HAD ME RUNNING ALL KINDS OF OPERATIONS TO GATHER INTEL AND SUPPLIES FOR YOUR GOLF-DELTA "LEONIDAN" AGENTS; THEN I RUN ACROSS A TOP-SECRET FILE, CLASSIFIED UNDER YOUR AUTHORITY, DUBBED "FILE SKULBLAKA". THE DETAILS WERE SKETCHY, BUT I GATHERED THERE WERE FOUR AGENTS, JUST LIKE YOUR LEONIDANS.
THERE'S ONE IN PARTICULAR, THE ONE REFERRED TO AS "THORN"<SMALL>, OR </SMALL> CODENAME: CHRONO<SMALL>, THAT'S GOT ME WORRIED: FILE SAID HE'S SUFFERING FROM SOME MENTAL ILLNESSES, RANGING FROM DEEP DEPRESSION TO COMPULSIVE VIOLENCE; SAYS HE'S BOTH KILLED A HIGH-PRIORITY CAPTIVE IN FRONT OF A COMMANDING OFFICER, AND RISKED THE LIFE OF THE UEG'S DIRECTOR. MY POINT IS NOT THAT HE'S DONE THESE THINGS, IT'S THAT YOU'VE LET HIM, WITHOUT NARY A PUNISHMENT FROM YOU
MA'AM, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE, AND I REQUIRE AN IMMEDIATE EXPLANATION AS TO WHY HE WAS NOT REPRIMANDED; WITHOUT SUCH, I AM AFRAID I WILL BE REQUIRED TO TURN YOU OVER TO HIGHER AUTHORITIES.</SMALL>

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT BY WHICH YOU CAN REPRIMAND ME OR HAVE ME COURT-MARTIALLED, </SMALL> ALPHA GOLF<SMALL>: HOWEVER, I WILL SATISFY YOUR CURIOUS, TO AN EXTENT, AT LEAST.
THE <SMALL>LEONIDANS</SMALL> ARE NOT SEVERELY REPRIMANDED FOR THEIR MISDEMEANOR BECAUSE OF THEIR VALUE, WHICH IS FAR BEYOND ANYTHING YOU WILL EVER BE CAPABLE OF IMAGINING. EACH ONE POSSESSES DIFFERENT SKILLS AND DIFFERENT FIELDS OF EXPERTISE: WHILE ALL ARE MORE THAN CAPABLE OF OPERATING IN STEALTH OPERATIONS, </SMALL>"GLAEDR"<SMALL> EXCELS IN CLOSE-QUARTERS COMBAT, </SMALL>"SAPPHIRA"<SMALL> IS AN EXPERT AT INFORMATION WARFARE, </SMALL>"SHURIKEN"<SMALL> IS ONE OF THE UNSC'S GREATEST SNIPERS, AND </SMALL>"THORN"<SMALL> IS AN ORBITAL DROP SPECIALIST.
EACH ONE IS UNIQUE, </SMALL>ALPHA GOLF<SMALL>, AND EACH SERVES THEIR PURPOSE, JUST AS WE DO AS WELL. BUT NOT ONLY DOES THEIR VALUE ELIMINATE THE NECESSITY OF REPRIMANDING, SO TOO DOES THEIR ORIGINS: I WILL NOT OFFICIALLY NOR FULLY DISCLOSE SUCH DATA, BUT YOU MAY COME TO HAVE A LITTLE MORE UNDERSTANDING ONCE YOU HAVE HEARD THE PROPOSAL PUT FORTH BY </SMALL>JULIET ALPHA<SMALL>; I WILL ALSO BE DESIGNATING </SMALL>"SHURIKEN"<SMALL>, ALSO CALLED </SMALL>CODENAME: ORPHEUS<SMALL>, TO YOUR COMMAND AT SAID MEETING, AS HE WILL SOON BE OPERATING IN YOUR COMBAT THEATRE.
NOW, </SMALL>ALPHA GOLF<SMALL>, I WOULD SUGGEST YOU STOP ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT MY </SMALL>"GOLF-DELTA LEONIDANS"<SMALL>: CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN RISK, AS I HAVE METHODS OF GETTING THINGS DONE THAT EXCEED YOURS.</SMALL>

FROM: CODENAME: WINTERGREEN
TO: CODENAME: HENHOUSE
SUBJECT: OPERATION: INFINITIVE
WINTERGREEN: WE HAVE, SHALL WE SAY, A BIT OF AN OPPORTUNITY THAT HAS FALLEN INTO OUR LAPS.
HENHOUSE: OUT WITH IT THEN. ENOUGH OF THE VAGUE HINTING.
WINTERGREEN: MY APOLOGIES, NORMALLY YOU LIKE TO PLAY ALONG WITH MY LITTLE GAMES.
HENHOUSE: NOT TODAY. I'VE GOT BOTH CHARLIE ALPHA AND CHARLIE HOTEL BREATHING DOWN MY NECK, AND I'M IN NO MOOD FOR POINTLESS WASTES OF TIME. NOW DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY OR ARE YOU GOING TO POUT FOR THE REST OF THIS EXPENSIVE TRANSMISSION.
WINTERGREEN: FINE, FINE. HAVE IT YOUR WAY. AN ASSET HAS BECOME AVAILABLE IN NOVEMBER BRAVO. NEAR-PERFECT EXTRACT CONDITIONS. THIS MIGHT BE THE ONE YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.
HENHOUSE: WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO AT THE BEGINNING? ELABORATE, FOR GOD'S SAKE.
WINTERGREEN: I PRESUME THAT YOU REMEMBER CODENAME: ORPHEUS? WE HAD THE ASSET TRANSFERRED TEMPORARILY TO OUR JURISDICTION FOR OPERATION: WILLING STRENGTH.
HENHOUSE: YES, YES. OF COURSE. ARE YOU MEANING TO IMPLY THAT THIS IS THE ASSET THAT HAS BECOME AVAILABLE? I CANNOT IMAGINE HOW THIS SITUATION AROSE, BUT WE SHOULD COUNT OURSELVES EXTREMELY LUCKY.
WINTERGREEN: THAT IS MY IMPLICATION EXACTLY. WILLING STRENGTH WENT SOUTH, ORPHEUS IS PRESUMED KIA BY HIGHCOM. HASN'T REPORTED BACK IN MONTHS.
HENHOUSE: GOD DAMN IT, WHAT'S THE USE OF A DEAD SIERRA?
WINTERGREEN: THE ASSET HAS BEEN CONFIRMED ACTIVE, REPEAT ACTIVE BY IN-AREA PAPA ROMEO UNITS. THEY WISH TO KNOW HOW BEST TO PROCEED.
HENHOUSE: STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT. RECOVER THE ASSET AND I WILL SET ABOUT CONFIRMING CLEARANCES FROM UPPER ECHELONS FOR EMERGENCY FLASH REPLACEMENT. IS AN AID TEAM NECESSARY? ARE WE AWARE OF ORPHEUS' STATUS?
WINTERGREEN: THAT IS AN AFFIRMATIVE. ASSET IS MARKED AS YELLOW CONDITION AND IN NEED OF MEDICAL ATTENTION. GET THAT HOSPITAL WARD READY AND WINGED OFF. A NICE FAKED INFECTION WOULD GO A LONG WAY TO COVERING OUR TRACKS IN THE AREA, IN MY OPINION.
HENHOUSE: UNDERSTOOD. WILL DO MY BEST TO SECURE SAFE FACILITIES. APPROVAL JUST CAME DOWN FROM BLUE SHIFT, SO OPERATION IS GO. REPEAT OPERATION IS GO. GOD, MARTY, HAVE YOU READ THE MAN'S PERSONNEL FILE? IT'S AMAZING THIS GUY HASN'T OFFED HIMSELF YET.
WINTERGREEN: I KNOW. ACCORDING TO THE PSYCH EVALS, THOUGH, HE'S TIP-TOP SHAPE. LEAN MEAN KILLING MACHINE AND ALL OF THAT BRAVO SIERRA. GUESS HE JUST CHANNELS IT WELL. DAMN GOOD AT FOLLOWING ORDERS. UNDERSTOOD OPERATION IS GO. WILL GET BACK TO YOU LATER WITH RESULTS, THOUGH I AM ASSURED THAT THEY WILL INDEED BE VERY POSITIVE. HOPE THE GIRLS ARE DOING WELL.
