capn qwerty:Um, angel? It's the Mark IV, not the Mark V.
Say what? lol. I don't think that there IS a Mark IV (4) armor that we have been shown, except perhaps in fanart or other unofficial sources. Though, I'm always delighted to be proven wrong by cited materials (like referencing a novel's page number). I am not being sarcastic, either, I hate being wrong and thinking I'm right, so if somebody knows something official that I don't, please, do enlighten me.
And... even if there WERE to be Mark IV armor, this event takes place well after 2525, when the SPARTAN-II's were issued their Mark V armor on Chi Ceti IV at the Damascus Testing Facility.
Have a Merry Christmas, all!
