*Nods*  That would be correct.  When one colony grows to be too large, they split, thus forming a Bonded Pair.  That is why you always see them in twos.  If there was enough time, they could develop "split-personality" and function completely differently.  That is what I will assume is going on here.  They are one complete colony, just split apart and completely independent of one another (though that can communicate over surprisingly long distances when apart).<br/><br/>That said, I can understand that.  Just make sure that the ex-Spartan doesn't try to kill them.  Those cannons can and WILL cause damage.  Not to mention those almost-a-ton heavy shields they carry with ease.
