Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan 117

Spartan II Physical Augmentations:

* Carbide ceramic ossification - bone structure is made virtually unbreakable due to an advance material grafted onto skeletal structure.
* Muscular enhancement injections - tissue density is increased while lactase recovery time is decreased as a result of intramuscular injections of protein complex.
* Catalytic thyroid implant - increased skeletal and muscle tissue growth as a result of a platinum pellet containing a human growth hormone catalyst that is implanted in the thyroid gland. This gives the Spartans the ability to run over 55kph and lift over 3 times their own body weight.
* Occipital capillary reversal - A marked visual perception increase is occured as a result of the submergence and boosted blood vessel flow beneath the rods and cones of the retina.
* Superconducting fibrification of neural dendrites - alteration of bioelectrical nerve transduction to shielded electronic transduction producing a 300% increase in reflexes, giving the Spartans an estimated 20 millisecond reaction time. A marked increase in intelligence, memory, and creativity occurs as well.


Spartan/MJOLNIR Armor

Black Body Suits:
- Black, formfitting, lightweight polymer body armor.
- Worn before the Spartans began wearing MJOLNIR armor.
- Worn underneath MJOLNIR armor.
- Capable of deflecting small-caliber rounds.
- Refrigeration/heating units that are able to mask infrared signatures.
- Integrated helmet with encryption and communication gear, heads-up display, thermal and motion detectors.
- Sealed tight with a fifteen minute oxygen reserve for limited survival in the vacuum of space.

MJOLNIR Mark I Armor:
- Used in the training of the Spartans when they were 14, trainers donned this armor for their own protection against the Spartans and to thoroughly challenge the Spartans.
- Currently used mainly as dock loaders.
- Impervious to standard light weapons.
- Has a speed of 32kph (20mph).
- Can lift two tons.
- Equipped with motion sensors and infrared scopes.
- Armed with 30mm mini-guns on self-targeting armatures and stun rods.

'It would take two or three platoons of standard marines to take that bunker.' (The Fall of Reach, pg 71) - Chief Mendez on the Spartans ability to ‘capture the flag’ from 9 trainers in MJOLNIR Mark I armor.

MJOLNIR Mark V Armor:
- Armors shell is a multilayer alloy of remarkable strength with a refractive coating to disperse incoming energy weapon attacks.
- Powered with a miniature fusion cell.
- Armors inner structure is composed of an amorphous, reactive metal liquid crystal which fractally scales and amplifies force; this doubles the Spartans strength and enhances the Spartans reaction speed by a factor of five. This armor, doubled with the physical alterations of the Spartan II program gives the Spartans the ability to lift 6 times their own body weight and a 600% increase in reflexes.
- Has a gel-filled layer (hydrostatic gel) to regulate temperature. Hydrostatic gel can also reactively change it’s density to protect it’s user from heavy landings, gee-forces and such. It can also absorb moisture and has bio-monitors that constantly adjusts the suits temperature and fit.
- Has an on-board computer that interfaces with each Spartans neural implant which is used in conjunction towards the wearers use of the armor in such that the speed of the armors movement is carried out not only by the motion of its user but his very thought process. The subject has only to think about the armor moving and it will move. This same process is carried out with communication channels, heads-up display, and any other uses of the armor.
- This, and successive, MJOLNIR armor is not usable to normal humans due to the strength and speed with which the armor performs. Previous test subjects have broken multiple bones due to the stress caused from the armors performance.

'John focused his mind on motion. He leaped over a three meter high wall. He punched at concrete targets - shattering them. He threw knives, sinking them up to their hafts in target dummies. He slid under barbed wire as bullets zinged over his head. He stood, and let rounds deflect off his armor. To his amazement, he actually dodged one or two of the rounds.' (The Fall of Reach, pg 117) - Master Chief, after receiving the MJOLNIR armor.

MJOLNIR Mark V Armor (refit):
- The MJOLNIR Mark V armor is similar to the first Mark V with a few enhancements and added improvements such as thicker armor plating and a smaller fusion pack.
- Recharging energy shields gleaned from Covenant shield technology and improved upon. Capable of deflecting ballistic weapons and dissipating energy weaponry as well.
- The Mark V armor has a new layer located between the armors reactive circuits and inner bio-layers that is a weave of additional memory processing superconductors. This memory processing layer is a conduit that interfaces the armor and its user to a ship-born A.I. system. This new system greatly increases the reaction time of its wearer and the armor by adding the processing power of the A.I. and translating the users impulses from its motor cortex directly into motion.
- In addition, the on-board A.I. can provide tactical, strategic and updated intelligence in the field by intercepting and decoding point-to-point transmissions and infiltrating computer and communications systems.

“Calculate the inbound velocity of a Scorpion missile. Factor in my reaction time and the jet’s inbound speed and distance at launch, and tell me the instant I need to move to sidestep and deflect it with my left arm.”
Cortana paused a heartbeat. “Calculation done. You did say ‘deflect’?”
“Scorpion missiles have motion-tracking sensors and proximity detectors. I can’t outrun it. And it won’t miss. That leaves us very few options.” (The Fall of Reach, pg 263) - Master Chief, after receiving Mark V armor and before deflecting a missile, with the help of Cortana.

MJOLNIR Mark VI Armor:
- Refitted version of the Mark V with a few improvements.
- Neural induction circuits improved giving Spartans better reaction time and a speed boost.
- New linear accelerator added to the shield system, doubling its strength.
- Better tracking system for the heads-up display, improving accuracy at distances up to a thousand meters.
- New sensors boosting the sensitivity of motion trackers.
