[quote]I hate asking so many questions but damn it I need to get caught up.[/quote]But I love answering them! [quote]Were the clones used to replace the kidnapped Future Spartans healthy?[/quote]I don't understand the question... [quote]Has the UNSC Terraformed Reach and/or other glassed planets?[/quote]By 2553, the UNSC had sent in assesment groups to Epsilon Eridani to determine possible terraforming options for Reach. Eridanus II appears to have been terraformed to some extent since it was listed as a destination on the Nova-Austin Space Elevator flight schedule.

And how'd we end up getting devolved?[/quote]We sacrificed a a third of our population to the Flood with genes that would be destructive to them. In reality, the Flood saw how far we were willing to go to protect life that they backed off and retreated. We were devolved as punishment for our involvement in the human-Forerunner wars. The original punishment was extinction. [quote]Are the Spartan IV's better than the Spartan 3's or 2's?[/quote]With MJOLNIR, SIVs are equal to SIIs. However, without MJOLNIR on, SIVs are one of the weakest SPARTAN programs.
