ACompean:does anybody wonder what might happen to the spartans after they finish the war. Well after they find master chief and the spartans trapped in onyx get out what will the UNSC do with them. Retire them or keep them to study them further on?
No... I have never wondered that. [/end sarcasm]
There is still more fighting to be done. Even though the covenant leadership has been severely castrated, the covenant itself is not gone and there are plenty of brutes left that hate the elites just as much as they use to (probably more so since they killed their prophets). So, I think they will keep the spartans in active duty assuming they ever find them, though there might be more downtime in between missions.
Also, I wonder how long spartans would live... relatively speaking, not literally because they use cryo sleep a lot. But relatively speaking, 500 years from now they have to have improved healthcare and there for expanded the average human life span at least a little longer. But would the Spartans augmentations allow them to live longer or put too much stress on their bodies over time and make them live shorter lives. I could see a Spartan, even relatively, living for a very long time.
Bringin' awesome back.
