May I pick your brain with a question 🌹
If the Headhunter program existed for the Spartan IIs, who do you think would get flagged for it?
Ooo, good question.
My first answer would be Linda-058. She's perfectly comfortable on her own, and I feel her skill set is made for the job.
Then, gut feeling, without much to back me up, I'd say Anton-044. He's a skilled scout, so I imagine he's good at sneaking around to get intel behind enemy lines. Maybe Li-008 as well, since he's the most comfortable in space and good with hand to hand combat, and I feel like behind enemy lines might involve space. (My favorite odd couple, and I am giving myself fanfic ideas. Oh dear.)
From Halo: Legends, I feel Cal-141 would have been a good choice.
Daisy-023 from Halo: Legends, too. Because she was able to escape from the Spartan II Program, and later was shown apparently being a lone operator, and utterly calm about this. (I specify the one from Halo: Legends, because the Daisy-023 from the Halo: Silent Storm novel seemed more like a hothead with a firm attachment to her fellow Spartans, which is my preferred way to write her in fanfic.)
James-005 for reasons, other than my undying love for him.
And Gray Team is kind of a proto-Headhunter unit.
Hmm... Spartan II Headhunter AU.
Thanks for asking!
