Well i got my name because i got the halo game for PC about 3 years ago and that got me interested in the books also. while reading the books i took kind to the outcast spartans. the ones that didn't have a real big impact. i found Spartan-029 and it was metaphoric love at first site. 029 was such an odd number i just took it! it was cool and unused. i will give a little look at his life(this is actually a good read):
...:::LIFE:::...
Joshua was conscripted into the SPARTAN-II program in 2517 when he was identified by Dr. Catherine Halsey at age six as a physically and mentally exceptional child. He was brought to Reach and trained by Déjà and Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez alongside the other Spartans. He was one of the few Spartans to survive the augmentation process. During the Human-Covenant War, he took part in many battles, including the Battle of Jericho VII (although he was never mentioned by name until the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV).
...:::REACH AND DEATH:::...
Joshua was then on the UNSC Pillar of Autumn, in complete brevity until Covenant forces appeared above Reach. During the Battle of Reach, Joshua was assigned to Fred's team and designated as Red Three. As he and Fred descended to the surface of Reach, their Pelican, Bravo 001, was shot down by air artillery. Joshua attempted to activate the auto pilot of the Pelican, but all of its computer systems had been destroyed. Joshua was, however, able to slow the vessel down enough so that the Spartans could make a "hard landing"; or jump out of the Pelican and land directly on the ground.
Once landed, Joshua found a Sniper Rifle and was the first Spartan to arrive at ODG Facility A-331, and spot Charlie Company. He then radioed Fred and the Spartans were able to regroup at the facility. Fred then ordered Joshua to recon the area. Joshua was the Spartan who spotted a Covenant landing zone and patched the image through to Fred using his COM. Joshua, Fred, and Kelly-087 then piloted Banshees toward the Gravity Lift of the Covenant cruiser and threw a Fury Tactical Nuke into it. However, as the Banshees neared the lift, Covenant fired their Plasma Cannons at the Banshees, hitting Joshua's Banshee. He was last seen trailing smoke and losing altitude just before the Fury Tactical Nuke destroyed the area.
If he crashed, it is unlikely that he survived the blast, and even more unlikely that he survived the subsequent glassing of Reach. Even if he had survived the glassing, he would still have been in the middle of a Covenant army. Fred tried to radio to Joshua, but received no response. He is currently listed as MIA and is assumed to be dead.
