Coming out of slipspace, Johnson was shocked to learn that there was [[Installation 05|another Halo]] in existence.

The situation mirrored his previous experiences back on Alpha Halo: he and a group of his best privates joined Keyes on a search for a weapon. They traveled to the Library and entered. As they neared the center of the massive structure, the small pack was attacked by a large amount of Flood. They held their own weight and fought the creatures off, finally locating the Index. Johnson helped Miranda grab the key, but before they headed out, they were attacked by a Sangheili dressed in [[Arbiter|peculiar armor]]: the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]]. Johnson was quickly incapacitated. Unbeknownst at the time, Johnson and Miranda Keyes were taken into custody by [[Tartarus]], [[Chieftain]] of the [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]]. | The situation mirrored his previous experiences back on Alpha Halo: he and a group of his best privates joined Keyes on a search for a weapon.

The two were held in the Covenant city of [[High Charity]]. The High [[Prophet of Truth]] told Tartarus to activate the ring to initiate the [[Great Journey]], and ordered the Jiralhanae to split Johnson, Keyes, and the captured [[343 Guilty Spark|Oracle]] into three different [[Phantom|Phantom dropships]]. Each was taken down to the surface, where they were split up. Johnson joined many of his fellow soldiers for an execution. Moments before their deaths, the Arbiter and his squad burst out of the nearby structure and attacked the Jiralhanae, distracting them long enough for Johnson to board the nearby Scarab walker. | The two were held in the Covenant city of [[High Charity]].

He arrived during a standoff between the Arbiter’s forces and Tartarus’s forces. He aimed at the Jiralhanae’s head, keeping him from inserting the Index. Tartarus threw 343 Guilty Spark at Johnson, knocking him over. Quickly, he inserted the Index into the control panel, starting the firing process. The Arbiter and his squad challenged Tartarus, and Johnson provided backup, using his beam rifle to bring down the Chieftain’s shields. With his shields down, the Arbiter was able to kill the Jiralhanae, therefore allowing Miranda to grab the Index and stop Halo from firing. | He arrived during a standoff between the Arbiter’s forces and Tartarus’s forces.

With the remainder of the Sangheili squad keeping the area secure, 343 Guilty Spark explained to Johnson and Keyes that the other Installations were ready to fire on demand. When asked where they could be fired, the Monitor told them that they could be fired from the [[Ark]]. Johnson, Keyes and the Monitor stood there and waited for what the future would bring. | With the remainder of the Sangheili squad keeping the area secure, 343 Guilty Spark explained to Johnson and Keyes that the other Installations were ready to fire on demand.
