Man there is so much to unpack with this story. ![]() I heard one mention of Locke, and Blue Team potentially being out on their own missions, were there others that I missed with any elaboration? Any mentions of Buck anywhere? It was nice to hear Lasky in those audio logs. I guess we don't see corpses, so they could always bring them back if they wanted. I can understand frustration with where they'd taken the series, and having a massive army of Spartan-IVs does negate a lot of threats, so clearing them off the board makes sense, but part of me is still going to miss all those characters.
