The rest of Blue Team recovered and attacked the Didact. Kelly attempted to use a [[Z-180 Scattershot]] against the Forerunner, but he simply crushed it in his hands.

{{Quote|The war is over. At least that's what we're told... But those of us in the thick of it... We know better. At the fringes of our civilization, it's raging harder than ever. The violence and suffering continues. And there's noone around to stop it. That's why '''''Blue Team''''' is still active.|Kelly reflects on the state of conflict in the galaxy.}} | |||

Returning to Earth, John was debriefed by Hood, where the fleet admiral gave orders for Blue Team to have some rest after years of combat. However, the rest of the team instead left to take on new missions, all of them highly classified.<ref name="HE10"/> These operations included diplomatic escorts through hostile territory, counter-piracy efforts against salvagers, and strikes against Covenant outposts. At one point in [[2558]], the team was stationed at the construction site for a new [[ONI]] research facility, awaiting orders.<ref name="otb">'''[[Halo: Tales from Slipspace]]''', ''[[On the Brink]]''</ref> Without warning, explosions signaled an attack from fanatical [[Covenant remnants|ex-Covenant]]. During the fighting that followed, the hostiles managed to capture an [[M510 Mammoth]], disable its governor, and drive it down a steep hillside toward the site's main [[fusion reactor]]. Blue Team followed in pursuit in an [[M12 Warthog LRV]]. With only about a minute left before it impacted the reactor, John, Kelly, and Linda ejected from the Warthog when it was close enough to the Mammoth. The three of them just narrowly managed to wrest control of the hulking vehicle from its [[Kig-Yar]] and Sangheili hijackers. Kelly discovered scientists hiding inside the mammoth and relayed this to John, who was driving. Their presence meant he couldn't just drive it off a cliff, as doing so would almost certainly kill them. Instead, he steered it away from the reactor at the last second,<ref name="otb"/>but the near miss still resulted in the destruction of a decent amount of fabricated material that had been constructed. Kelly ensured that the scientists onboard were okay. The manager in charge of the construction project rushed over to Kelly and the other Spartans after the smoke cleared and demanded to know who he should blame for the damage. John, who had taken the Mammoth's controls, took responsibility. The incredulous man accused the Master Chief of thinking he could get away with anything because of his status as a hero. At this moment, Fred jumped in to reprimand the thankless individual they had all just saved, finding it difficult to maintain an easy demeanor in the face of such disrespect. John kept a cooler head and directed the team to return to a nearby airstrip, as their mission orders had come in.<ref name="otb"/> | |||
At some point, Kelly and the three others returned to the glassed remains of Reach, where they recalled their past and paid their respects to Sam, who had died so many years ago.<ref name="TFoR AS"/> | |||
