So the audio log mentions this one woman who knew John as a kid and mentions then lying in a field. Reminds me of that trailer for Halo 3. But wasn't there someone else in lore that it was thought to be too? They were a marine, served in New Mombasa with the Chief in a Evolutions story? Edit: new possibility. John the flash clone died at 6, and you think a childhood friend would remember that, though the possibility of this Elllie Bloom just forgetting that remains. But since Deon mentioned her, and he is quite probably an ONI plant, she might be too. I don't know, but it could be possible that the marine, Parisa, shows up in the audio logs as an actually reliable source. Just an idea
