Don't be sorry, I don't mind talking about it, I'm just horribly uninformed about the whole thing. That's us though, Spartans were designed and built to fight, not be free thinkers in the world. Theta is a lot smarter than I am, he just doesn't have much confidence in that fact. He's getting better though.
And no, ma'am, my life isn't important. I'm one of many and where I fall there's another to replace me. We're humanity's last defense and no life is comparable; under no circumstances would human lives be sacrificed to save my own. That's our job, as Spartans, to die so humanity doesn't need to. After the war, Project Freelancer took me, my armor and Theta are their priorities. He's designed to self destruct if necessary - that's protocol, and my armor will be recovered when I die.
