[Back when they'd still been with the UNSC, CT had bribed or bullied one of the medics into handing over the psychiatric manual that the officers used to clear them for the field. Here are the questions you'll be answered, and this is how you're going to answer them. You're going to be polite and you're not going to be a little shit no matter what they say. And you are never, under any circumstance, to let anyone near the twins. Never to let anyone see them with their helmets off, never to let on that they'd stopped speaking entirely and only sent messages through their HUDs, filled with emojis and strange capitalization. If you let anyone see them, they'll know. And the twins would be gone, dragged off to some veterans hospital where they'd never see the light of day.
