However, as soon as they stepped onto the grass, they were viciously attacked by the Covenant strike teams. With his platoon scattered all over the valley, he was glad to see SPARTAN-117 come strolling up to assist.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], pages 68/69</ref>. | ||

The crew intercepted a Covenant transmission detailing the transport of numerous weapons to somewhere in the swampy regions of the ring. This, as well as a [['Qualomee|Sangheili’s]] testimony of a large weapons cache located in a swamp, prompted Captain Keyes to investigate.

Shortly after they were dropped off, the squads came across a structure leading underground. As they ventured further into the facility they came across several Elite corpses, with scrambled innards. Passing them off as friendly fire, they proceeded deeper into the facility until they entered a seemingly empty room. Annoyed with [[Private]] [[Manuel Mendoza|Mendoza’s]] whining, Johnson passed off the situation as sissy talk until little, [[Infection Form|balloon-like creatures]] burst out of the nearby holding cells and attacked the squad. Nothing he had ever seen in his entire career as a Marine could prepare him for the [[Flood|enemy]] he found attacking his Marines. He was one of the victims of an assimilation attempt into a [[Combat Form]], but the mutations caused by his Boren’s Syndrome stopped the process.

Alive and well, Johnson was forced to attack and kill his own Marines, who were mutating before his eyes into mindless monsters bent on killing him. With his tenacity and his will to live, Johnson fought his way out of the nightmare through sheer tenacity and firepower. He was presumed dead after SPARTAN-117 found a helmet recorder entry from Private [[Wallace Jenkins]], showing the gory details of the Marines' fates, but may have been extracted from the swamp with [[Private]] [[Bisenti]] by [[Echo 419]]. | ||
