In 2552, John led Silver Team, comprising of [[Vannak-134/Silver|Vannak-134]], [[Riz-028/Silver|Riz-028]], and [[Kai-125/Silver|Kai-125]] on a subsequent mission to Madrigal. This time, it was to aid the Insurrectionists against a [[Covenant]] [[Operation: DEFIANT GLASS|attack]]. Though Silver team | In 2552, John led Silver Team, comprising of [[Vannak-134/Silver|Vannak-134]], [[Riz-028/Silver|Riz-028]], and [[Kai-125/Silver|Kai-125]] on a subsequent mission to Madrigal. This time, it was to aid the Insurrectionists against a [[Covenant]] [[Operation: DEFIANT GLASS|attack]]. Though Silver team eliminated the squadron of Covenant Elites, the Insurrectionist outpost, led by Kwan's father [[Jin Ha]], was also wiped out in the battle, with Kwan being the sole survivor. Venturing further, John and Silver Team discovered a [[Forerunner]] [[Keystone]] in a nearby cave. John personally encountered the keystone and began seeing flashbacks to his suppressed childhood. | ||
While the rest of Silver Team departed through other means, John took the artifact and the unconscious Kwan with him aboard his team's [[Condor 325|Condor]], setting their destination for [[Reach/Silver|Reach]]. When Kwan woke up, [[Miranda Keyes/Silver|Miranda Keyes]] spoke to her through a hologram and attempted to enlist the girl's help in promoting the Spartans across the galaxy, but Kwan refused.{{Ref/Reuse|Contact}} | |||
Eventually, John joined Kwan and fed her, even attempting a joke, but he evaded her questions about his running diagnostics on his suit, the Forerunner artifact and his refusal to remove his helmet. Kwan revealed she had met him before when John had killed her mother and she gave him her side of the story, pointing out the inconsistencies in the UNSC's reasoning for the assassination. John received an order from UNSC command ordering him to assassinate Kwan whom they had determined to be a risk, but he instead cut his ship's camera feed and went rogue. In response, the oxygen to the ship was cut and the oxygen in John's suit was lowered so as to render him unconscious. Despite this, John managed to remain awake and override the air flow controls, restoring oxygen to the ship. [[Vice Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky/Silver|Margaret Parangosky]] ordered a full squadron of Marines and Pelicans to meet the approaching Condor and for Kwan to be shot on sight and John to be shot too if he tried to stop them.{{Ref/Reuse|Contact}} | |||
When Kwan awakened, she believed that John had attempted to kill her despite his protests and grabbed his battle rifle. Telling her that the bullets wouldn't even penetrate the outer plating of his armor, John removed his helmet to talk to Kwan face to face and convinced Kwan of his sincerity, admitting that he didn't know why he was going rogue and helping her. Allowing Kwan to keep his rifle, John enlisted her help to disable the ship's AI autopilot with Kwan resorting to shooting out the controls when she couldn't get them disconnected. However, the UNSC hit the Condor with an [[electromagnetic pulse]], sending it crashing the rest of the short way to the ground and briefly knocking Kwan out again. As the Marines prepared to breach the ship, John touched the alien artifact, causing it to light up with symbols and send out a pulse that knocked out power to the base and restored power to the Condor, much to John and Kwan's surprise. With power restored and the autopilot disabled, John and Kwan quickly strapped in and fled from Reach before the UNSC could fully recover.{{Ref/Reuse|Contact}} | |||
