It only took a few minutes to traverse the portal through slipspace.<ref name="HBB1">''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]'', ''Chapter 1''</ref> When the Pelican emerged, the Spartans found themselves flying through a cavernous cave, which they excited to be faced with a deep [[Sanghelios]] night. John remained quiet while the others determined where they were and what they ought to do next. When he finally did speak up, it was to apologize for everything that had recently happened. Linda was the first to dismiss his apology, as he had done what he thought was right and had been backed up by she, Kelly, and Fred every step of the way. Locke also conceded that John had done what he could to stop [[Cortana]]. Buck followed this by suggesting that seeing as John had known her the best, he might be the key to stopping her. John confirmed that he wasn't even close to calling the struggle against her and [[Created|the other A.I.s]] over. Locke mentioned that if they could get back to the {{UNSCship|Infinity}}, Halsey might be able to work out a solution, which caught John and the other [[Spartan-II]]s by surprise. John asked if she was alright and learned from Tanaka that she had been the last time Osiris saw her, though she was missing an arm. Fred took this opportunity to take what Buck had said on step further, noting that it was Halsey, not John, that knew Cortana best.<ref name="HBB1"/> | It only took a few minutes to traverse the portal through slipspace.<ref name="HBB1">''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]'', ''Chapter 1''</ref> When the Pelican emerged, the Spartans found themselves flying through a cavernous cave, which they excited to be faced with a deep [[Sanghelios]] night.

As surprised to see him as he was to see her, Halsey told him that it had taken him long enough. As the rest of Blue Team revealed themselves as well, John introduced them to Thel, who proceeded to invite the new arrivals to join in a celebratory meal commemorating their victory over the last of the Covenant. Halsey revealed that she had gotten a message from [[Roland]] on the ''Infinity'' and that it would be appearing off of the far side of [[Suban]] the following day at 1800 hours. Now that they had transportation, they could be there waiting for it when it showed. Buck expressed skepticism regarding Roland's allegiance given [[Created Conflict|recent events]], but Halsey insisted they'd already be dead if Roland was compromised. John nodded at this. Taking off his helmet, he said they'd be staying there for the night and flying out first thing tomorrow. From there the humans joined the Sangheili in dining on [[colo]] and [[kuscatu]]. John, Kelly, Fred, Linda, and Halsey went off on their own for a time to talk. When John rejoined the rest of the gathering, he asked Palmer what had become of the [[Guardian]] which reportedly had arrived to disrupt the power across large regions of the planet. She admitted she wasn't entirely sure. Later, John took part of the night to reminisce and catch up with Thel, who told him that he had received reports of it and [[Promethean Soldier|Promethean soldier]]s pacifying cities on the other side of Sanghelios that were proving to be openly hostile to Cortana's ultimatum.<ref name="HBB1"/> | ||
Everyone was awake around an hour before sunrise and all the humans piled into the Pelican.<ref name="HBB1"/> The Arbiter bid John farewell, and while the two clasped arms, expressed his confidence that they could stand against this new threat as they had stood together against the [[hierarch]]s and the Covenant. John thanked him and then they were off, soaring through and past the planet's atmosphere on a trip that took them just a few hours. John advised everyone to keep an eye out for the Guardian, should it reappear. With about twenty minutes until the ''Infinity'''s projected arrival, Fireteam Osiris broke out a game of [[Wikipedia:Hearts|Hearts]], but John and the others declined playing. When ''Infinity'' finally did show up, the Kelly landed ''[[India 127]]'' in its fifth portside bay.<ref name="HBB1"/> The Spartans were met by a [[lieutenant]] whom announced that Halsey, Locke, Palmer, and John were wanted on the bridge.<ref name="HBB2"/> As the rest of Blue Team went to have their armor removed, John accompanied those three to meet with Captain Lasky.<ref name="HBB2">''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]'', ''Chapter 2''</ref> | Everyone was awake around an hour before sunrise and all the humans piled into the Pelican.<ref name="HBB1"/> The Arbiter bid John farewell, and while the two clasped arms, expressed his confidence that they could stand against this new threat as they had stood together against the [[hierarch]]s and the Covenant.
