Kinda old and very mainstream, but Katie plays pokemon so what the bacon do I know?
Expressed Assurances
[Panel 1] *Master Chief and a generic labcoat scientist are standing on a podium in front of a crowd. There's a blank projector screen off to the side.* Scientist: "As you all know, Anonymous personnel have made their concerns known about how unsettling it is to work with a tall, legendary killer with no face. In response, R&D cooked up a passive, digital expressive interface with the newest MJOLNIR visor technology!"
[Panel 2] *The scientist turns to the projector, which now displays the image of several crude, two-dimensional smiley faces (=3, =D, >8[, etc) in a cubic diagram.* Scientist: "In short, the inner surface of SPARTAN 117's visor provides him a heads-up display of pertinent, real-time battle information. Now, the exterior will display one of these simplistic emoticons in relation to his actual facial expression without obscuring his vision!"
[Panel 3] *The scientist holds up a remote pointing at Master Chief's blank visor, pushing the button.* Scientist: "Without further ado..."
[Panel 4] *The scientist recoils in surprise as the first face generated by the digitized expressor is Katie's face in the last panel of this comic. Master Chief seems unaware of the disturbance.* Master Chief: "What?"
Unoriginal as apples and beyond old, probably an idea better suited to an edit of some sort, but I didn't get the motivation to throw this out here until I remembered that comic. Seriously though, what if all this time, Master Chief remained cool in war through the humor of making ugly faces at us that he knows we can't see, then simply forgot about it while making one? That'd be an interesting reveal! And it would explain a lot.
