John, Cortana, Halsey, and Saly ventured back to his homeworld Eridanus II | After John stated he was starting to recover his memories of what may be a larger keystone, he, Cortana, Halsey, and Dr. Saly ventured back to his homeworld of Eridanus II. On the ride there, Cortana commented about the visualization of slipspace, echoing John's earlier comments to Kwan, but this time, John, amazed by his new experience of the colorful visuals, echoed Kwan's own comments, quipping that Cortana was "ruining it". The party landed near John's former home in the now-abandoned Reach for Life complex.{{Ref/Reuse|Homecoming}} | ||
After | After ordering Kai, who he sensed had taken out her pellet, not to re-enter combat, John sensed an urge to once again come in contact with the keystone, despite Cortana's warnings that it would continue to harm him psychologically and physically. This time, he saw the full truth: that Halsey had kidnapped him against his will to become a Spartan. Enraged, he attempted to physically assault Halsey before Cortana flooded their neural interface with signals, rendering him unconscious and allowing Halsey to escape.{{Ref/Reuse|Reckoning}} | ||

When John came about, the Covenant had landed on Eridanus II, intent on seizing the keystone. John, Riz, and Vannak attempted to shuttle the keystone to a UNSC ship, with Kai authorized back into action to provide sniper support, but a large group of the UNSC forces came under attack. When Kai was inevitably endangered and was unable to cope with the battle due to her new emotions, John, against Halsey's and [[Margaret Parangosky/Silver|Admiral Parangosky]]'s orders, left the Warthog carrying the keystone to come to Kai's assistance, hijacking a Covenant Banshee and crashing it into the squad threating her, Keyes, and several others. Though he saved them all and annihilated the Covenant squad, brutally beating the Elite attacking Kai to death in particular, the keystone fell out from the Warthog, allowing it to be retrieved by the Brute [[Atriox/Silver|Atriox]] despite John's best efforts to recover it. Following this, the Covenant sent a drop pod containing the human [[Makee]] onto the surface of Eridanus II.{{Ref/Reuse|Reckoning}} | |||

Coming to odds with Ackerson and suspicious of a cover-up regarding Cobalt Team, John revealed to Kai something that he had not told Ackerson: that he had also seen Makee alive and well with the Covenant. Aside from that fact, he continued to insist of his findings to Ackerson, who revealed that he had already interviewed Corporal Perez, who "did not corroborate" John's story. Furious that the one other eye-witness had apparently betrayed him, the Spartan tracked Perez down to her family's apartment and demanded to speak with her. She attempted to turn him away, but her mother, thinking John was a "boy Talia had brought home", invited him to dinner, where John reluctantly interacted with their family. When Talia left dinner due to the awkward situation and her cousins making jokes at her expense, John found her outside on the rooftop, where she finally admitted to not telling Ackerson the full truth due to feeling guilty for being the sole survivor in her squad. John comforted her and gave her advice, then tracked down flight trajectories for all Spartan Teams, realizing Colbalt was sent on a classified mission to the [[Visegrád Relay]].{{Ref/Film|Id=Sword|TV|Episode=[[Sword (TV Series)|Sword]]}} | Coming to odds with Ackerson and suspicious of a cover-up regarding Cobalt Team, John revealed to Kai something that he had not told Ackerson: that he had also seen Makee alive and well with the Covenant.
