--personal file—Spartan R-259—
-PERSONAL NOTE-Dr. Halsey-
Rick – 259 continues to impress me, it has only been two days since he was recruited and he is the first trainee that has ever managed to incapacitate a trainer and manage to hide away in the forest.—Day 3 R-259 is still hiding, (Deleted text) I am very glad I recruited him. Day 6 R-259 has finally been retrieved; it took 5 men and three stuns to finally take him down. (Deleted text) I am beginning to wonder why he doesn’t have a juvenile record.

-PERSONAL LOG- Sargent James Barns-

Chief Petty Officer Mendez seems to think I am incompetent because that crazy kid got the jump on me, apparently I am no longer a trainer, I am now the chief mess coordinator. I had hoped one day to get off this rock and get a ship of my own but it doesn’t look like I am going to get that chance now (I hate my job).
7/15/2521
That darn kid is still giving me trouble he somehow managed to get a hold of some steel pellets [I don’t know where he got them] but he seemed to enjoy watching as he fired them at me from across the mess hall, and somehow he didn’t get caught. And now after what Mendez is saying is “false accusations” I am being transferred off planet to some stinking cargo ship. (I hate my job)

Spartan R-259 (also known as electro [origin of nickname possibly due to the incident his first day of training where he managed to slide the stun baton off his trainer’s belt and incapacitate him with it]) is nearly the perfect weapon –NOTE- weapon not soldier – because all his commander had to do was point and shoot, this interesting effect is due to a 1 in a 1,000,000,000 chance that the augmentation process was a 100% success. No one knows how or why but his augmentation caused a change on the molecular level what the change was we still can’t fully tell but it allowed him to access an extra 20-25% of his brain. The results were astounding; he had immediate control over his memory giving him photographic memory or total recall. He immediately outclassed everyone in the Spartan program, he could calculate the time of a 12 mile run down to the millisecond, he no longer needed any sort of advanced training with any weapon, science, vehicle, or any other skill he could need, he simply picked it up as if it were nothing. [Any attempt to reverse engineer his augmentation has proved fruitless due to the fact that the serum has already dissolved completely in his blood stream.]
Active service record-(classified)
Spartan R-259 was in orbit around the planet Reach when the covenant jumped in system Contact was lost shortly after. However it is the opinion of Dr. Halsey that R-259 is in fact in very good health, I however believe that he died onboard a covenant combat cruiser that seemed to have a catastrophic engine failure and exploded destroying two more cruisers in the nearby area. I also must admit that due to his incredible sense of timing and his capabilities as a Spartan it is possible that he survived, until further notice his file will read M.I.A. all one can do is hope.
SERVICE FILE UPDATED 5/24/2557 by
James Barns, Captain U.N.S.C. Thunderbolt battle cruiser.
