It must be being announced soon then, if they're doing all this in one go.

It says "S1". Spartan 1s? (Master Chief being one of the Spartan IIs.)

Book spoiler below.
Sergeant Johnson was a Spartan 1.

EDIT: Oh wait, Shadow already said this.

Viral marketing is bollocks when it's just random made-up cryptic gooseberry fool. I don't mind viral campaigns if they make sense, but these just waste the time of people who have too much time to be wasted. Or are too wasted to have time. One or t'other.

To sum up: a load of old guff.

So it's squad based.

[DARE.V.500341(S1)]: “I’ll see what I can do.”


Dare must be a spartan, that's a Master Chief line right there.

Chief is Spartan 117, referred to as S117 or Sierra 117, so this could be S1 or Spartan 1.

Or could it be a Spartan I? The precurser to the Spartan IIs? That's entirely possible, perhaps we'll discover that Johnson was augmented at the start of the war, which'd explain why The Flood couldn't kill him and why he's such a bad-ass. I thought the Spartan 1s were from before the Covenent war though...

Hmm..


That's all good stuff Shadow.

Johnson was augmented and unaffected by the Flood because of the radiation he'd been put through tackling some disease he had (I can't remember which book this is in, but I swear that's true), and in Halo lore the Spartan Is are the ancient "300" Spartans (which we know from the first training lesson in Fall of reach where Deja shows the Spartan II trainees a clip of Spartans hunting and killing wolves).

No, the Spartan Is aren't the 300 Spartans of legend, there was a program called Spartan I which included Johnson, for one.

And The Flood couldn't kill him because of the treatment for his disease or the actual disease (one or the other), not to do with his augmentations.

Personally, I think the S1 they are referring to here would be, Section 1 of ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence)

As Follows, From Halo Wikia:

Sections

Section Zero

The most secretive section of ONI. Almost no one knows that it even exists actually, let alone exactly what they do in the supposed high chain of command. From the records of an AI named Melissa, it is thought to be ONI Internal Affairs, charged with rooting out and eliminating illegal programs.

This section has gained notoriety as the section that has sealed SPARTAN-I Program files, including Avery Johnson's.

Section One

The main intelligence-gathering section, and the foremost provider of electronic intelligence for the UNSC. Covenant ship movements and force deployment, evacuation notices for colonies, deletion of data for secrecy purposes, and much more are all done by Section 1.

Section Two

The propaganda branch of ONI. They handle communication to and from colonies to reduce the level of rumours and information that would cripple morale.They were responsible for going public with the SPARTAN-II program to boast morale through the UNSC ranks. Even after the release of this information to the public, the Spartans were still viewed as near-mythological figures. Most Marines and ODSTs didn't believe they even existed until they saw them for themselves. Section II feared the fact that the discovery of Spartans dying would cripple morale. Due to this, the Spartans are always listed as Missing In Action or Wounded in Action instead of Killed In Action upon death to keep morale up in the UNSC and maintain the belief that Spartans never die.

Section Three

The top-secret projects division of ONI. They are responsible for the SPARTAN-II project, the NOVA project, and many other "black op" programs. The secrets possessed by ONI are the key to Earth's continued survival, for the Covenant cannot be beaten with military forces alone. Though a few of Section III's programs are well known and prominent for their success and diverse victories, the Marines and brass of the UNSC treat most with contempt. This is especially true capability of the Spartans, who are generally regarded as "freaks" by the other Humans in the Armed Service of the United Nations Space Command. The Beta-5 Division is the sub-cell of Section III that operates the SPARTAN-III project.

Underneath Section III is Naval Special Warfare/Naval Special Weapons, the section which coordinates special operations. Section III was also in charge of over looking the ORION Project.

So Dare is definitely working for ONI as the message is sent from a Prowler, which is an ONI ship, doesn't mean to say it couldn't be a spartan on an ONI mission though, it's that last line that gets me, it sounds like something Chief would say.
