MYND-Mora

== Overview ==
(MYND)Mora is not just a helmet, but a system of modular components and software that could theoretically double the performance of deployed Spartan teams once synchronized properly. Risky implementation of neural interface overclocking and high bandwidth combat awareness synchronization computers are integrated into each helmet. This allows a Spartan team to share most of their senses, and thought impulses more directly. A team is as strong as its weakest link, but neural synchronization will make them equal and unbreakable. 
Although the Mora helmet is capable of raising the effectiveness of a Spartan squad to new heights, its capabilities are wasted on a single Spartan. To allow theses systems to reach their full potential, ONI has authorized Neuro-Armatis to select candidates for its new MYND program. Spartan 'subjects' adopted by the MYND program are subjected to intensive teamwork training and strenuous mental exercises. Neuro-Armatis reports extreme psychological strain of subjects from the necessary neuro-lace modifications, and extended use of synchronization. Subjects perform all activities together and follow a strictly timed schedule. All combat training exercises focus solely on using the senses of fellow Spartans, their more instinctive impulses, and the swiftness of 'telepathic' communication. 
As it stands the neural-lace modifications alone are not enough to make Mora the new standard for Spartan teams. Long, difficult, and most importantly, expensive, training is required. For Spartans to effectively use neuro-synchronization they must first build a neural-array, constructed over time with members of their squad. The neural-array must be maintained both to uphold combat efficiency, and ensure the safety of the Spartans. Results from the MYND program dropouts show that despite the short term benefits of neural-lace mods and synchronization, detachment from the array will cause severe and potentially irreversible psychological damage. Brain activity reveals that array failure eventually leads to neuron instability, hallucinations, sleep deprivation, muscle spasms, and a reliance on outside senses. 
Neuro-Armatis has provided dropouts with a makeshift lace interceptor that feeds occasional simulated senses, and helps the brain rely on existing neuron connections for thought impulses. In addition, many dropouts are prescribed sedatives(when needed), anti-psychotics, and painkillers to further curb negative effects. It is unclear if this hurdle can be overcome or implemented in a cost effective manner on a wide scale. Therefore ONI has barred the adoption of any new candidates, and while the program is officially terminated, Spartan teams with existing arrays will continue to operate closely with Neuro-Armatis. 
== Known Variants ==
=== MORA ===
Standard requisition of the Mora helmet developed by Neuro-Armatis in collaboration with the Abe-Stride Infantry Research Division, and produced by Vulcain Universel Fabriqué.
=== MORA/HU/RS ===
A scouting module variant with advanced range-finding, enhanced optics, and advanced sensors. The module is developed by Birnbaum Optik, and produced by Vulcain Universel Fabriqué.
=== MORA/TAS/SUBNIVEAN ===
A scanner module variant that provides 3D auto-mapping, plus structure and component analysis. The module is developed by Lincoln Technology-Evolved, and produced by Anderson Auto-Forge.
== Data Leak ( Danzig-misit II Coup D'etat) ==
Jefferson B. Helm(CEO/Founder of the Horizon Collective) was assassinated by ONI operatives in early 2538 after his armed security personnel and local insurrectionists performed a coup on the industrial colony of Danzig-misit II. The colonists living on Danzig-misit II had grown tired of UNSC presence after being forced from their original colony on Danzig-misit( I ). The UNSC would make constant use of their space ports as a launching point for war efforts against insurrectionist forces that had taken hold of the surrounding system. Tensions rose, eventually boiling over into conflict as insurrectionists, civilian militia-men, and Horizon Collective armed security personnel charged UNSC positions. After the rebels secured their ports and local government, UNSC forces proceeded to bombard the colony from orbit, followed by the deployment of ground forces to clear out remaining hostiles. Equipment recovered by ONI from the defeated security personnel was found to be constructed using classified data on the MYND-Mora project.
It is suspected that ONI's collaboration with Vulcain Universel Fabriqué, who was a loyal business partner of Horizon Collective, led to a data leak from project MYND-Mora. The implementation of MYND-Mora protocols and technology was poor, hardly following the hardware requirements outlined by Neuro-Armatis. Horizon Collective accomplished MYND-Mora with off the shelf and top of the line neural interfaces, hardware implementation on their existing MC-AL security helmets, and at least some form of training between the members of their security personnel that were present on Danzig-misit II. Evidently the extent of data held by Horizon Collective on MYND-Mora was not complete. All of the leaked data was purged, and any involved suspects were abducted by ONI.
