Life Saver Pod

The Life Saver Pod was an augmentation-enhancing machine designed and engineered by ONC Chancellors Winters and Sydney, with the latter performing the actual construction alongside his men. The pod was a major factor in the Chancellors' Project Genesis program. The purpose of the pod was to physically enhance all ONC soldiers into super-soldiers, similar to SPARTANs. The pod was fueled by Seal and McGrath's Life Saver.

First seen in Early in the Mourning, Winters and Sydney used the pod on several of their own soldiers with several of them, including Major Johnson and Winters himself, becoming enhanced while the others did not survive. The survivors of the experiments had lasting effects, such as increased strength, stamina, and aggression. In addition, many soldiers became able to survive lethal attacks. After Winters gets infused with the pod's energy, he survives a headshot wound from Seal. Seal then later steps into the pod and destroys it with a plasma grenade, using its own energy to destroy it.
