Six: UN Colonial Mortal Dictata. A suite of laws that enforce upon us the basic moral duty we owe each other.
Under the Mortal Dictata you would be a human being. Taller than the average, sure, maybe "giant" as a subspecies, but a reasonable layperson would assume you're a human based on your form and external appearance. Hence, you're as human as anyone else is.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Lisa: Well, I'm glad you have measures like that in place.
Usually, when I'm in a sketchy part of town, I use my shrinking pendant to fit in.
...Or not. My size works as a tool for intimidation, too. So it depends.
Six: -to Lisa- Didn't stop the SPARTAN program, but I'm gonna count that as a blessing.
Naomi: -to Quartz- There's a lot of old stogies who seem really into the business of others. >.>

Way less than there were in the past. They're really more of a spectre hovering over our heads than an omnipresent threat, you know?
Six: I'd honestly consider the Covenant playing just as much of a role.

Seriously. It's a great place.
Valerie: Huh. Wouldn't have guessed.
Samurai don't tend to use machines.
Six: It's not so much that as the fact there are a lot of laws regarding the cloning of human beings, the genetic profiling of human beings...
I heard a lot of rumors that the creator of the project broke quite nearly every tenet of the Mortal Dictata making the SPARTAN-IIs. And if Halsey even broke half the laws she did...

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Six: -to Lisa- Essentially? Yes.
We were slightly more legal, but we weren't intended to create supersoldiers. We were intended to create disposable shock troopers.
I just proved too useful to get sent on a suicide mission.
I've heard rumors the SPARTAN-IIs predate the Covenant as well. Which...
I don't want to think about that any more than I have to.
Naomi: Outta space?
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

Giant: Well, yeah. That's the thing - we're basically humans, but about double the size. it's a really silly and petty argument.
