Origin

On May 12th, 2017, iFunny^[2] user and Halo fan revolver (currently Halo) shared @dril's post, writing that he was going to find the page confirming @dril's statement in the 2001 novel Halo: The Fall of Reach (shown below, left).

On March 12th, 2018, Tumblr^[5] user gurlukovich made a post referencing the joke, writing that Samus Aran's suit should also jerk her off, with Tumblr user ccreisz replying that she wouldn't need that because, unlike Master Chief, she can get laid.
