Breaking Quarantine is a story in the Halo Graphic Novel that depicts Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson's escape from the Flood Containment Facility on Installation 04. It is illustrated by Tsutomu Nihei and is fourteen pages long.[1]

Summary

Sergeant Johnson fighting a Flood attacker form in Breaking Quarantine. The characters on the picture are Japanese Katakana letters that mean "Don, Don, Don, Don," - which is Japanese for the sound a gun makes, analogous to the English "Bam."
Sergeant Johnson opens fire on the Flood.

Following contact with the Flood, Sergeant Johnson manages to avoid being overwhelmed by infection forms. He fires at an Infection Form which has latched onto Private Jenkins, though he fails to kill it. He watches as the Marine transforms before his eyes into a combat form. The combat form delivers a blow to Johnson's arm, throwing the sergeant out of the containment room, across a large observation chamber, and into a wall.

Several infected Marines approach Johnson, prompting him to run into a hallway. He locks the door with a spoofer and proceeds down the hallway. An infected Marine fires a M90 Close Assault Weapon System|shotgun]] at Johnson. The pellets hit the wall, missing the sergeant by inches. Johnsnon dives to the ground, firing the remaining rounds in his assault rifle into the combat form, ripping its head off but not kill it. He then shoots down the combat form with his pistol. He makes his way across an energy bridge, jumping onto the other side just as a combat form shuts the bridge down. As he jumps across the chasm, he throws a grenade behind him. The explosion kills his pursuers, knocking him to the ground. He steps onto the lift, glad to have finally escaped the Flood.
