>>8845733Incidentally the Halo Graphic Novel features a Spartan who was likely injured to the point of retiring, but trained back up well enough to be part of the Reserves for the military. Part of the reason she stayed more or less retired was with the intention of finding someone to start a family with, though, she was still willing and able to help test the new suit of armor Master Chief gets in Halo 2 (normal people, non-Spartans, literally can't handle the way the suit amplifies strength and speed). The novel has a collection of other short illustrated stories and is a bit of a relic from Halo's golden age. So that might make a nice gift someday as well. All the best.
