Jones was one of the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] stationed aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} and was evacuated with the other personnel on board. Under the command of [[First Lieutenant]] [[Melissa McKay]], Jones joined a convoy that was ferrying supplies to [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]]. However, [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] ground forces under the command of [[Noga 'Putumee]] soon attacked the convoy using [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraiths]], [[Banshees]] and [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghosts]]. Jones was in the fourth [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]] with [[Sergeant (UNSC)|Sergeant]] [[Corly]] when the vehicle was hit by a Plasma Mortar round from a [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]]. Corly was killed but Jones was thrown free.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 156''</ref> Once recovered, he discovered that his helmet (with his team mic) was missing; as a result, he could no longer call for a pickup as the supply convoy left him for dead. He followed his sniper training and climbed to some cover and an elevated firing position in the form of rocks. | Jones was one of the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] stationed aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} and was evacuated with the other personnel on board.

Targets soon presented themselves in the forms of two [[Sangheili]], one being [[Sangheili Minor|Minor]] [[Ado 'Mortumee]] and the other being a Field Master, [[Noga 'Putumee]]. His first shot decapitated Ado 'Mortumee, but his second, aimed at 'Putumee, missed as the Field Master back-flipped for cover. The Covenant commander responded by calling down [[Banshees]] to locate and kill the [[human]]. It is unknown if Jones was killed by the Banshees' attack run, made it back to Alpha Base or was killed by the Flood, or perhaps killed when [[Spartan-117]] detonated the ''Pillar of Autumn'''s engines and destroyed Halo. As such, his fate is unknown. | Targets soon presented themselves in the forms of two [[Sangheili]], one being [[Sangheili Minor|Minor]] [[Ado 'Mortumee]] and the other being a Field Master, [[Noga 'Putumee]].
