John-117: Difference between revisions

Line 43:

John-117's first mission was against rebels in the asteroid belt of the [[Eridanus System]], where his home world was located. He was shot in the side by live ammo while leading his squad to capture rebel leader [[Colonel Robert Watts]], without heavily injuring him. He received a [[Purple Heart]] after this mission.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''pages 75-94''</ref>

Three months after the Eridanus mission, John and his Spartans were briefed on the [[First Battle of Harvest|massacre]] that took place on [[Harvest]] shortly after first contact with the Covenant. A short time later, the {{UNSCShip|Commonwealth}}, under the command of [[Captain]] [[Wallace]], brought the Spartans and Dr. Halsey to the [[Damascus Testing Facility]] at [[Chi Ceti]], where they received the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|MJOLNIR Mark IV Powered Assault Armor]]. When a Covenant ship attacked the ''Commonwealth'', John and the SPARTAN-IIs took part in their [[Battle of Chi Ceti|first battle]] with the Covenant. The Spartans used thrusters to launch from a Pelican dropship. Each Spartan carried an Anvil missile with them to destroy a Covenant ship. Only two other Spartans made it to the ship with John: Samuel-034 and Kelly-087. They entered the ship through a hole in its hull, caused by a heavy [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] round from the ''Commonwealth''. They succeeded in completing the mission and destroyed the Covenant ship, but due to a breach in Sam's armor, caused by retaliation fire from Covenant forces, he was unable to leave the Covenant ship. Volunteering to stay behind and ensure the destruction of the enemy vessel, Sam is killed in the ensuing explosion. John is affected profoundly at the loss of one of his friends. This UNSC victory against the Covenant showed John that the Covenant could be beaten, but at a high cost. John and his remaining Spartans would fight the Covenant for the next 27 years, employing the MJOLNIR armor.
