HALO: The Noble Timeline

== The NOBLE Timeline ==
The Noble Timeline is my personal thought experiment into how exactly the Human-Covenant War's ending could've gone. What if, rather than all of NOBLE Team dying on Reach, several SPARTAN-IIIs made it to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn, to join the Master Chief in duking it out on Installation 04 with the Covenant? This explores the consequences of Noble Six, Jun-A266 and Emil-A239 surviving the Fall of Reach, along with several members of Gamma and Echo Teams that survived the New Alexandria Evacuation, and made it to Rally Point Omega. This timeline also suggests that James-005, who was listed MIA after the battle on Gamma Station in Reach's orbit, is not hit by a Needler and remains with John-117 for the remainder of the mission. Linda-058 is still shot and cryogenically frozen on the Pillar of Autumn, however.
This overall would provide the Pillar of Autumn and Captain Keyes with 9 Spartans, split into two fireteams and a Headhunter team. These two fireteams would be Blue Team, led by John-117, and Red Team, led by Frank-B432. The 9 surviving Spartans are:
* John-117: Blue Team (Leader)
* James-005: Blue Team
* Oliver-A299: Blue Team
* Frank-A276: Red Team (Leader)
* Wanda-B400: Red Team
* Andrew-B376: Red Team
* Liz-B358: Red Team
* Jun-A266: Headhunter 1
* Emil-A239: Headhunter 2
