Now, I don't care if it's God's own anti-son-of-a-bitch machine, or a giant hula-hoop, we're not gonna let 'em have it! What we ''will'' let 'em have - is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in! Am I ''right'', Marines?|Staff Sergeant Johnson}} | ||

After coming out of slipspace, the ''Pillar of Autumn'' came across a [[Forerunner]] creation known as [[Installation 04|Halo]]. The Covenant, cautious not to damage the ring world by firing at the ''Autumn'' in space, began boarding actions to "cleanly" neutralize the ''Autumn'' by boarding the ship and wiping out the crew and altering its course away from the Installation, before planting charges and blowing it up. On board, Johnson helped defend the ''Autumn'' from the invading Covenant boarding troops, but like everyone else was forced to abandon ship when [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] issued the order. | After coming out of slipspace, the ''Pillar of Autumn'' came across a [[Forerunner]] creation known as [[Installation 04|Halo]].

Johnson and Fire Team Charlie were evacuated by Captain [[Carol Rawley|Carol "Foe Hammer" Rawley]] and remained at [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]] for some time until asked to join a mission, led by Captain Keyes, into the inner workings of Installation 04. The crew intercepted a Covenant transmission detailing the transport of numerous weapons to somewhere in the swampy regions of Installation 04. This, as well as a [['Qualomee|captured Elite's]] testimony of a large weapons cache located in a swamp, prompted Keyes to investigate. Johnson, being an experienced and respected sergeant, accompanied the captain along with his squad. | Johnson and Fire Team Charlie were evacuated by Captain [[Carol Rawley|Carol "Foe Hammer" Rawley]] and remained at [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]] for some time until asked to join a mission, led by Captain Keyes, into the inner workings of Installation 04.

Shortly after they were dropped off, the squad came across a structure leading underground. As they ventured further into the facility, they came across several Sangheili corpses with scrambled innards. Passing them off as friendly fire, they proceeded deeper into the facility until they entered a seemingly empty room. Annoyed by [[Private]] [[Manuel Mendoza]]'s paranoia, Johnson shrugged off the situation until massive numbers of [[Flood infection form|Flood Infection Forms]] barged out of the nearby holding cells and attacked the squad. As each Marine fell, Johnson was forced to kill a few of his own men, who were mutating before his eyes and would have killed him if he had done otherwise. Johnson, however, was uninfected, either because of Boren's syndrome or his ORION augmentations, or simply sheer tenacity and fighting skill.<ref name="hgn">'''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]''', ''[[Breaking Quarantine]]''</ref> John-117 presumed Johnson dead after finding [[Wallace A.
