Traviss told Polygon that she prefers to ground her work with small details - including details about how a supersoldier space marine pees in their suit. Karen Traviss, the author of Halo: Glasslands (and other books based on the Gears of War and Star Wars franchises), is widely credited with this addition to the series’ canon. “Think of it as a weaponized life-support unit. This suit plugs into me in a lot of places.” Another reason why that machine has to be so precisely calibrated. “So … bathroom breaks?” he asked, very quietly. Vaz had never seen Mal lost for words before. “Once you’re sealed in,” he said carefully, “you can’t just … you know, step out of it easily when you need to, can you? That rig’s got to dismantle it.” Mal peered into the helmet with the look of a man who was making a note of all the tech that Spartans had and that ODSTs didn’t. Here’s how that scene from chapter nine of Halo: Glasslands plays out: ODSTs wear much simpler armor, and Mal learns just what a Mjolnir suit is capable of from Spartan Naomi-010, who’s in the process of being sealed into her armor. Mal Geffen, an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper (ODST) in the UNSC Marine Corps. The oft-quoted passage from Halo: Glasslands answers that all-important biological question from the point of view of Sgt. In other words, Master Chief could be (and probably is) peeing at any given moment - maybe even while teabagging an online opponent. In that book, we learn that Master Chief and every other Spartan who wears Mjolnir armor are peeing in their suits, which are designed to process and recycle urine into drinkable water. It’s a query raised by many Halo fans over the years, and those well-versed in the series’ lore have directed the bodily function-curious to the 2011 novel Halo: Glasslands for the answer. Which raises some obvious, basic questions, like: How does Master Chief pee? And when does he do it? The Halo series’ most famous Spartan has worn that suit for days, weeks, even years in a single stretch in the game’s fiction. Brief glimpses of Chief without any part of his armor are rare.
