Bungie has unveiled the backstory of their DOA4 crossover character Spartan-458 or, as we like to call her, Nicole. With a story involving freak slipspace anomolies, semi-stable bubbles in that good old space time continuum, time travel, and the always looming fear of the grandfather paradox, Bungie has obviously paid particular attention to authenticity.
If you read that last sentence without grimacing you need to have a sci-fi timeout. Bungie themselves write, "How can we say all that with a straight face? Shut up is how. How does this explain why she's fighting a schoolgirl in a prehistoric oasis? Silence fool! How does this explain a very cool secret on a Casino-inspired level? Shut your noisehole is how... In short, she's a fictional means to an end that we gave careful thought, but with a jaunty tip of our hat and a wry wink in the general direction of levity."
