- "Life is mundane, it's filled with routine and very little changes; it's static: safe. That's why I'm fighting for the small things: the blue sky; the rain; the sunsets; the stars shimmering incandescent at night. The hope that tomorrow our lives will be filled with the extraordinary. "

Augmentations
Daniel underwent a series of augmentations designed to turn him into a Super Soldier; a Spartan. During the procedure he received updated variants of the augmentations undertaken by the first class of Spartans. Despite the successes and improvements made by the SPARTAN-III Programme, both Emily Ford and Musa-096 wished to keep as many similarities as possible to the progenitor class.
1. Carbide ceramic ossification: Advanced material: special metal and ceramic layers, grafting onto skeletal structure to make bones virtually unbreakable. Recommended coverage not to exceed 3 percent total bone mass because of significant white blood cell necrosis. Specific risk for pre- and near-post pubescent adolescents: skeletal growth spurts may cause irreparable bone pulverization.
2. Muscular enhancement injections: Protein complex is injected intramuscularly to increase tissue density and decrease lactate recovery time. Risk: 5 percent of test subjects experience a fatal cardiac volume increase.
3. Catalytic thyroid implant: Platinum pellet containing human growth hormone catalyst is implanted in the thyroid to boost growth of skeletal and muscle tissues. Risk: rare instances of elephantiasis. Suppressed sexual drive.
4. Occipital capillary reversal: Submergence and boosted blood vessel flow beneath the rods and cones of subject’s retina. Produces a marked visual perception increase. Risk: retinal rejection and detachment. Permanent blindness.
5. Superconducting fabrication of neural dendrites: Alteration of bioelectrical nerve transduction to shielded electronic transduction. Three hundred percent increase in subject’s reflexes. Anecdotal evidence of marked increase in intelligence, memory, and creativity. Risk: significant instances of Parkinson’s disease and Fletcher’s syndrome
