 [[File:Mom, Son, & Daughter.png|left|thumb|250px|Halsey's memory of presenting Cortana to John.]]Halsey also had somewhat of a unique relationship with [[John-117]]. Some of this may stem from him being the first subject she observed, but she had a great fondness for him and he was her favorite Spartan. Halsey told Cortana she considers him the luckiest and best of the Spartans and apparently also finds him attractive given her embarrassed reaction to Cortana's comments. Halsey was responsible for John's first promotion to Squad Leader as a result of her acknowledging his leadership skills and suggesting it to Mendez. Halsey also had John's full trust and he always did his best to never undermine her authority.
-Halsey decided to test her favorite Spartan's sense of ethics by handing over data concerning [[Avery Johnson]] and how his [[Boren's Syndrome]] supposedly made him immune to the [[Flood]]. She knew that if the data was handed over to ONI, Johnson would likely be killed and dissected in order to find a cure to the Flood infection. She estimated that there is a billion to one shot that they could have replicated Johnson's condition, but conversely ONI would do it to save humanity from a greater foe.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''pages 242-246''</ref> At first, John chose to sacrifice Johnson in order to try and save millions of people out of his duty to protect all of humanity. However, John reconsidered and eventually destroyed the data due in part to the sacrifice of [[Vice Admiral]] [[Danforth Whitcomb]] and [[Lieutenant]] [[Elias Haverson]].<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''pages 329-336''</ref>
+Halsey decided to test her favorite Spartan's sense of ethics by handing over two sets of data: one concerning [[Avery Johnson]] and how his [[Boren's Syndrome]] supposedly made him immune to the [[Flood]], and the other omitting those details. She ensured that John knew that if the first set was handed over to ONI, Johnson would likely be killed and dissected in order to find a cure to the Flood infection.
