WOW!
My hair is to thin, and it doesn't like to grow that much.
So I can't exactly make a wig out of it. But Rae, that's extremely kind and selfless.Oh yea.
Wish it was me...God I love long showers.
Oh yea.
We hibernate like bears.
I needed a defibrillator to wake me up.
😬
So what armor are we supposedly using? Obviously not the S-III's from the books. So are we using like some real MJOLNIR crap?

Armor versionsAt least six different versions of MJOLNIR armor exist, and each generation of armor offers improvements over earlier models. Models are designated by the notation "Mark n". For example, a Mark V model is more powerful than a Mark IV.
MJOLNIR Mark III PROTOTYPE
The next prototype, the Mark III, incorporated a power transmission-receiver so that power could be transmitted to it much like the Orbital Defense Platforms in orbit of major UNSC colonies. This design was quickly rejected for two reasons. The main reason being that the armor still had a limited operational range, as the power generator could not be moved easily. The second reason was that if the generator was destroyed somehow, the users would become trapped in worthless, metal shells.
MJOLNIR Mark IV
The MJOLNIR Mark IV is the centerpiece of human engineering that surrounds the Spartan II soldier. This advanced protection battle suit is integrated into the soldier’s muscles, and brain. The suit plugs directly into the Spartan’s head. The suit responds as quickly as the Spartan can think.
MJOLNIR Mark V
After a variety of changes to their battle armor design that started with the Mark I prototype, the UNSC (United Nations Space Command) fielded the MJOLNIR MK IV battle armor with its clandestine Spartan II super soldiers. These soldiers were the only ones who could possibly field this suit not only because of the extreme physical requirements it took to operate in the suit, but also because of the rigorous combat it was designed for. The Spartan IIs had undergone genetic, biochemical and cybernetic modifications to their bodies and experienced a lifetime of incredibly difficult training in order to prepare them for their combat duties, which made them the only humans for which use of the suit was feasible. The Mark IVs are later replaced by Mark Vs on Reach immediately prior to the Halo incident. The only notable differences between these two models is that the Mark V has energy shields, an even smaller fusion pack, and requires a more advanced neural interface capable of supporting an AI.
The MJOLNIR armored suit is powered by two integrated, miniaturized fusion reactors. The cost of the power packs, as suggested in a discussion at the beginning of , is astronomical.
Integrated into the Mark V combat suit is a dynamic, self-recharging, sophisticated energy shielding system, built upon from captured Covenant alien technology (specifically, that of a Jackal's handheld shields or an Elite's full-body shields) that repels mass objects and energy bursts. While impacts on the shield place a substantial drain on the system's power supply, system energy regenerates quickly once the Spartan II moves away from the barrage.
The MJOLNIR armor contains an integrated computer system which continuously monitors weapons, shields, biological function, motion (through an intelligent motion-sensing radar), and contains a special partition for an AI, which is intended to assist the Spartan II in real-time by monitoring communication channels, computer relays, and friendly combat updates. In addition to interfacing with UNSC-standard data links, the MJOLNIR rmor is also compatible with Covenant datalinks, allowing the wearer to access Covenant weapons and battle networks.
The suit is air-tight, hardened against vacuum, and features air-filtration systems as well as a built-in oxygen supply that can last for up to 90 minutes. The suit's helmet also features a standard UNSC mounted flashlight with its own separate power supply.
The physical armor beneath the Mark V's energy shielding is specifically designed for combat with the Covenant. It resists the Covenant's plasma-based weaponry extremely well; even with the suit's energy shielding disabled, a SPARTAN soldier can survive approximately three times as uch damage from plasma weapons than an ordinary human marine could. The armor also provides basic protection from human ballistic projectiles, although only to a slightly higher degree as regular marine combat armor. The suit itself is practically indestructible and is capable of sustaining tremendous damage and still being able to function, but even though the suit will continue to operate, the human inside can still be injured or killed by a penetrating round or sufficient plasma impacts to the suit's outer shell.
The suit also has a number of other features, including recoil-compensating actuators, hydrostatic gel (to regulate temperature and dampen impact force), and biofoam injectors. However, the biofoam injectors and medicalcare systems of the Mark V must be provided with a direct supply of biofoam, medicines and stimulants from a standard marine first aid kit when the user is injured, as the suit will not hold or generate a supply of medicines and Biofoam, unlike the Mark VI.
The ultimate lethality of this system was demonstrated by Spartan 117, also known as "John" or "John-117", the famed "Master Chief" in Halo: Combat Evolved, when he and his AI construct Cortana fought their way across a planet-like, artificial ring world called Halo. John stands 7 feet tall and weighs nearly a half-ton in this armor system. This is because of the myriad features contained within the combat suit. Though the MJOLNIR MK V ttle armor was successful against the Covenant on Halo, the Master Chief received the updated MJOLNIR MK VI battle armor once he returned to Earth, which featured better armor, and a more advanced energy shield and computer system.
MJOLNIR Mark V.5
This is not an official name, but has been used by some fans to describe modified Mjolnir Mark V armor. Several Spartans upgrade their Mark V suits with Mark VI components over the course of the novel, First Strike.
MJOLNIR Mark VI
Chief's version of MJOLNIR in Halo 2.

Of course now i'm still being ignored after I react and try to communicate with the group by coming over..nice.
I might as well just leave, I'm getting no where is this RP.
