>>5926714>>5926721>>5926743okay, i might be slightly stupid, buuut important aspect, is the fact that we in fact do have an ONI search team on our ship now, and as it is currently, ONI seems to be able to either waiver the cole protocol, or at the least have individuals be able to break it and look the other way.
also, about the cancer thing. i don't know if it would become a problem or not. since after all the one mention, the singular mention of radiation being made by covenant weapons, is made in the book "halo:evolutions the mona lisa"
the only other real mention of cancer in the halo universe, is the mention that cancer has become so uncommon that nearly no one even knows of it anymore, much less of it being a problem since in the book "halo:evolutions, midnight in the heart of Midlothian" one ODST aboard the halberd destroyer The Heart of Midlothian, get's told he has it, and get's told he's just going to need some surgery, and if i remember correctly that was just because it was so big and problematic that it couldn't just be solved via injections or medicine at this point.
so maybe it could be a problem, but i have yet to see any media actually portrait humans having any negative side effects from covenant weapons, and i think our ONI people could probably say "you good bro" and let us get xeno tech while still being cole compliant.
