Catherine in Halo Reach – Kat B320 – A female Spartan we looked at once before

Looks like the new Halo title – Halo Reach – will indeed get a female character amongst its macho squad. Flying in the face of rumors, most of which suggested Halo Reach would feature two female characters, in the form of Linda and Kelly (from the novels), we get just Kat. You may recall we covered this a while back and thought the character in the Halo Reach trailer was one Kelly-087, well now she’s been listed at the Halo Reach site and it’s Kat and not Kelly at all (so we stand corrected). Below is her brief in the personnel section, all of which is below for your delectation.

KAT
Lieutenant Commander
Full Name: XXX, CATHERINE
SERVICE #: S-320

* Unit: SPECWAR/GroupTHREE/NOBLE
* (P)MOS: 18E
* Enlistment Date: CLASSIFIED
* Location: CLASSIFIED

* Gender: F
* Birthplace: MONASTIR, NEW HARMONY
* Birth Date: 30/01/2530

PERFORMANCE:
Exemplary combatant; brilliant cryptanalyst—there hasn’t been a system yet she hasn’t been able to crack. However, she does tend to dig a little deeper than mission parameters require on occasion—and there have been times when NOBLE’s proximity to classified matériel has made me rather nervous.

COMMENTS:
S-320 is an inspired tactician; this is certainly related to her ability to acquire and digest information. There are times when S-320’s ability to read a situation—even with what many would consider cripplingly limited INTEL—could be described as supernatural. Unfortunately even having MAGICAL INTEL can’t protect you against a fatal lapse of situational awareness. To wit: S-293 was KIA during an OP that S-320 had put together [22/04/2552]; S-320 is now convinced that S-293’s death rests solely on her own shoulders (S-259 is likewise convinced that he is solely responsible for S-293’s death). Eventually I hope to be able to get it through their thick Spartan skulls that Thom is dead because he chose to pursue a group of enemy combatants ON HIS OWN rather than wait for backup.

NOTE:
S-320’s refusal to resubmit her certification for the P_A(r)/NCSI-AMA is more than a little frustrating. She says she submitted her certification papers on 04/08/2551 and refuses to budge. My records show that she qualified expert level with the P_A(r)/NCSI-AMA [04/07/2551], but LOGistics/Matériel Command claim they never received said notification and state that unless they receive said certification in a timely manner the P_A(r)/NCSI-AMA needs to be returned immediately. In the meantime there is no way for me to stop getting spammed from LOG/MC with reminders. This has been going on entirely too long.

   rosebud the answer to your question is a banshee shot a bomb like 3 feet away from her in the trailer deliver hope, which involves her almost dying
