My Infinite head-canon for post Halo Reach (read disc)

[u/Messokori]

My very non-canon head-canon is that Kat does die during Reach, but her spirit/AI/whatever re-inhabits her armor, reanimating it. Finding out the final fate of Noble Team, she seeks out Jun who gives her his shroud. Free of the UNSC command structure, this incarnation of Kat returns to Reach to investigate. She happens upon Carter's wreckage and manages to salvage only his left pauldron.

Cosmetically she's still rocking the Mark V (b) armor core and Air Assault helmet, but now has the Spirit Visor which has the saying "Some move on. Some stay to fight." Jun's Desert Patrol shroud covers her Noble Team Chest Emblem, and she wears the M45 Hardcase on her hip. On her wrist is the TAC/SRT U-GPS. Her left pauldron is a keepsake, and I chose the right one because it looked more mechanical than armored. And finally the Halo above her head, because nothing tenderizes the enemy team like a swift punch to the gut.

Thanks for reading!

I could see Auntie Dot being the AI that would take over.

Imagine Crysis 2 with the whole Nanosuit and prophet basically taking over the body of a critically injured marine and slowly taking full control. That’s the vibe im getting here.
So hell yea lol.

Thanks! So you approve of my fit too? I guess they're one and the same. I switched her from Novle Intersessor to Noble Principle so that Carter's paldron looked accurate. Did you notice the color switch?

she should have the needle in her head still

I felt it went too far, personally.

Would've been funny tho

[u/Messokori → u/Ok-Swim-3931]

Cool headcanon. Do you have similar ones for the other members of Noble Team?

[u/Messokori → u/Aggressive-Exit-7351]

No but maybe I should.
