Losing consciousness from the impact, John was captured by the Flood's central intelligence, the [[Gravemind]]. Shortly after, [[Thel 'Vadam|the Arbiter]] was also captured. The Gravemind appealed to John's common interest in preventing the firing of the Halo array. Reluctantly, John agreed. The Gravemind then tasked both captives with locating the Index, sending them to the two most likely locations where it could be found. John was sent to ''High Charity'', interrupting a sermon by the [[Prophet of Truth]]. The [[Changing of the Guard|conflict]] between the [[Sangheili]] and [[Jiralhanae]] came as a direct result of John's assassination of a High Prophet, leading the Covenant to [[Great Schism|civil war]]. | Losing consciousness from the impact, John was captured by the Flood's central intelligence, the [[Gravemind]].

John wasted little time in devastating the ranks of the Prophet's guardians, chasing the surviving [[Hierarchs]] through ''High Charity''. John nearly cornered the San 'Shyuum and their Brute escorts, but was too late to prevent Truth's escape.

John nearly cornered the San 'Shyuum and their Brute escorts, but was too late to prevent Truth's escape. A dying [[Prophet of Mercy]], compromised by a [[Flood Infection Form]], cackled that Truth had ordered his Dreadnought to Earth where he would complete the destruction of the human race. John then crushed the infection form with his armored hands. While this act killed Mercy, he was shortly thereafter resurrected as a Flood-controlled puppet. John faced another crucial dilemma: the Covenant had the [[Activation Index|Index]] and could activate Halo; however, Earth's [[Home Fleet]] stood little chance of withstanding Truth's remaining fleet. Ultimately, John was forced to leave Cortana behind. In the event of Halo's activation, she would detonate ''In Amber Clad'''s reactors directly and perish with the city. John boarded the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], which was bound for Earth, but not before promising to return for Cortana after he stopped the Covenant. | ||
