The [[Covenant]] do not take prisoners, except the occasional straggler to execute for sport or when one is needed to activate [[Forerunner]] technology.

As of [[2552]], the Prisoner of War Medallion is the only service medal that has not been awarded to [[John-117]]. There was one event however, when his team should have received this award following their capture by the [[Insurrectionist]]s at [[Camp New Hope]]. Despite this, the medal was not awarded, perhaps due to political reasons. John-117 may also have been eligible for the award following his detainment by the [[Gravemind]] on [[Installation 05]], as well as his capture and interrogation by the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s forces while aboard the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] prior to its arrival at [[Earth]]. | |||
