Once the ship had arrived safely at [[Installation 04]], it emerged that the [[Halcyon-class Cruiser|UNSC Halcyon-class cruiser]] ''{{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}'' had been followed through [[Slipstream Space|Slipspace]] by a small group of Covenant forces, who ultimately engaged the ''Autumn'' and sent several boarding parties to board the ship. [[Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] ordered John to be woken from cryosleep, and tasked him with ensuring the escape of the ship's AI, Cortana, while he crash-landed the ''Pillar of Autumn'' on the unidentified ring.

The final task for John, the Arbiter, and Cortana was to destroy the Flood by activating the replacement Installation 04. The three landed on the Halo, finding that the Flood was not defeated, but instead trying to rebuild itself on the Halo. Flood dispersal pods released Combat Forms into battle against John and the Arbiter, forcing them to fight their way up to the tower where the ring could be destroyed. During the battle, Sergeant Johnson arrived on the Halo aboard ''Forward Unto Dawn''.

==Appearance==
==Appearance==
John-117's face has never been seen in the games, and therefore his appearance was left mostly to the imagination. The novels [[Halo: The Fall of Reach]] and [[Halo: The Flood]] give us a little insight to John's appearance. Early on in [[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], when [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] and [[Jacob Keyes]] go to [[Eridanus II]] to observe John as a child, he is described as "a typical six-year-old male, with tousled brown hair and a sly smile that revealed a gap between his front teeth".<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 22''</ref> In [[Halo: The Flood]], referring to John in [[2552]], he is described as having "Short hair, with serious eyes, a firm mouth, and a strong jaw." Also he's described as being unnaturally pale, a consequence of spending most of his time in his armor.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 91''</ref>

In the ending cutscene of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', John takes off his helmet, and the camera pans upward leaving the head obscured by the ship window frame as he sets the helmet to his side. Some people have used [[Halo: Custom Edition]] development mode to move the camera. However, the Bungie 3D artists did not produce a separate character model for this single occasion, just a separate helmet model; if the animation is viewed from inside the ship, it appears as if John takes off his helmet, revealing another exactly identical helmet underneath. Players have also found a glitch in the [[Halo 3]] [[Halo 3 Beta|Beta]] using a mongoose to reveal what looks to be a face in the SPARTAN's helmet. However, Bungie has confirmed that this is a Bungie staff members face, not John's.
