Didn't exactly go through the hearing, so it's hard to say. But it wasn't exactly looking good for me in terms of continued service.

The offer was -- persuasive, besides.

[ He could hide it, but he's choosing to give him more here. There's enough in his voice to imply there was more than the offer of a clean slate. The Counselor had pulled up parts of his record that he thought didn't exist, anymore, and it was clear that if he'd refused the offer, that information would've gone straight to the UNSC. Maybe the assault alone wouldn't have been enough to really dismiss him from service, but the assault along with a proven record of violent tendencies a lack of restraint might sure cast doubt on his suitability for duty.

That was the kind of thing that made him interesting to the Project, though. Fortunately or unfortunately. ]
