John returned to Earth with Blue Team where he was debriefed by Fleet Admiral Hood. His armor was also repaired, including his broken helmet along with the prominent gash on his chest plate.

*There is an implicit connection between John-117 and the [[IsoDidact]], the Forerunner who fired the Halos. In ''[[Halo: Silentium]]'' the IsoDidact asks 343 Guilty Spark if he would fire the Halo Array were it his choice, receiving no response. 343 Guilty Spark echoes this conversation to the Master Chief during the events of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', addressing the Spartan as if he were the IsoDidact. In ''Halo 3'' the Gravemind states that ''"Defeat is simply the addition of time to a sentence I never deserved... but you imposed."'' The IsoDidact's imprisonment and subsequent condemnation of the [[Primordial]] into a billion years of sensory isolation in ''[[Halo: Primordium]]'' could be interpreted as giving retroactive meaning to the Gravemind's statement, given that it shares the Primordial's memories. Alternatively, it may refer to the "sentence" the Forerunners on the whole forced on the Flood by firing the Halos, or, in the new context introduced in ''The Forerunner Saga'', the prehistoric Forerunners' imprisonment of the Primordial for nine million years. | *There is an implicit connection between John-117 and the [[IsoDidact]], the Forerunner who fired the Halos.
