Abraham-G195

Abraham-G195, nicknamed Abe by his peers, is a SPARTAN-III from Gamma Company. He is assigned to Fireteam Halberd as their sharpshooter specialist.

<!--CANDIDATE ACQUISITION REPORT / OPERATION: CANDY VAN // SPARTAN-III PROGRAM // GAMMA TOP SECRET / EYES ONLY AUTHOR: Second Lieutenant Andhak, R., UNSCN / LOGCORP / Candidate Acquisition Team 7 DATE: 25/2/2545 Subject is a six-year-old male acquired on 23/2/2545 from Harmony Refugee Center 004-A after the standard on-site evaluation procedures.

For context: S-G195 is the scion of a moderately wealthy (but on an interstellar scale, unremarkable) corporate dynasty behind a local cyber-security corporation. Immediate family includes mother (Lellouche, Antoinette) and father (Papanek, Jan), both of whom are presumed dead during the Covenant attack on Miridem; S-G195 was only spared due in large part to his attendance of an elite pre-schooling institution located on one of the colony's Lagrange habitats, which were among the first to be successfully evacuated in that theater of operations. Subject has spent the months following evacuation in the less-than-ideal conditions of Inner Colony refugee processing.

Subject was cooperative and enthusiastic during his hands-on interview. Records from Dreyfus Educational Facility as well as Refugee Center 004-A show subject to be assertive and extroverted in his interactions with other children. However, he is also obstinate and pugnacious, and exhibits a troublesome sense of superiority likely related to his late family's status. Present service motivation is high, even remarkably so, with very little persuasion required; however, subject appears to harbor unrealistic expectations regarding his treatment within the training program. To wit: he still considers his lack of special treatment (RE his supposed family connections) within the refugee housing process a temporary inconvenience and/or a misunderstanding; for obvious reasons of expediency, we elected to tactfully omit the fact the lack of special treatment will be the lasting state of affairs for him from now on. Regardless, these problematic traits are expected to be weeded out within the first months of training and integration, and G-195 is projected to develop into a disciplined and consistently motivated combatant. (Refer to attachments for detailed psych assessments and interview transcript.)

Subject's native language is Prussian [sic], although he is fluent in Standard English and has an elementary grasp of French.

As is to be expected, G195 is healthy and well-developed for his age with a gene plan well within the parameters of the GENERATION 3 selection filters (see attached files). He is physically fit and has an affinity for sports, particularly gravball. NOTE: G195's medical records show he has undergone civilian-grade in-utero gene therapies which, while not particularly remarkable by Inner Colony standards and of negligible impact in regards to compatibility with the CHRYSANTHEMUM enhancement protocols, have ostensibly contributed to his physical fitness and development, and will continue to offer him a small edge over trainees who lack such preexisting advantages.-->
