[quote]She sort of stole UNSC property by kidnapping Kelly-087, and requisitioning Spartans in order to hide them away until the war ended in case humanity lost.[/quote] Which brings me to a point of contention I have with 343i's portrayal of Halsey. So far, they have yet to acknowledge this side of Halsey, the one that deeply regrets what she's done and wants to do what she can to make things sort of right. She became attached to the Spartans, and now she doesn't want any more to die. [quote]If you'll note, Halsey was actually cooperating with 'Mdama before the order for her assassination even went out. And by the way, Palmer had orders to assassinate Halsey from CINCONI.[/quote] I'll give you that, but I'm not entirely sure she was aware of who it was she was working with. And as Halsey said when she was being interrogated by Lasky and Palmer, she gave no information. Right before she finds out that John's alive, she even sounds surprised to see that Jul is there. And I don't give a flying shit who the order came from. Palmer has the ability to disobey orders, especially if they are bad. Halsey, for all intents and purposes, was being held hostage. She was even hoping for rescue. But Palmer, being the stupid cow that she is, couldn't get beyond her stupid dislike of Halsey long enough to see these facts.
