[ kelly has no reason to believe anything but the best of dr. halsey and even if she were to learn something else, dr. halsey was the closest thing to a parental figure that kelly had. she had put her own life in jeopardy to save dr. halsey's and she would do it again in a heartbeat. despite being kidnapped twice before, once as a child likely on the doctor's orders and once by the doctor herself, kelly still trusted dr. halsey. that would likely never change. ]
Understood. [ it would be weird to be known as kelly to people who weren't spartans, but she could deal. she understands why and that's why she asked. but there's one more think that bothers her. ]
Doctor, I won't let anyone threaten you here. [ difficulty walking or not, she'd would do her damnedest to make sure she could protect dr. halsey physically should anything happen to threaten her life. spartans might be important to the war at home, but to kelly's way of thinking, the doctor's knowledge and capabilities were just as important.
and that has nothing to do with her personal feelings. nope. ]
