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]]. However, [[Covenant]] ground forces under the command of [[Noga 'Putumee]] soon attacked the convoy using [[Wraiths]], [[Banshees]] and [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghosts]]. Jones was in the fourth [[Warthog]] with [[Sergeant (UNSC)|Sergeant]] [[Corly]] when the vehicle was hit by a Plasma Mortar round from a [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|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, therefore 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 [[Elites]], one being [[Minor Domo Elite]] [[Ado 'Mortumee]] and the other the [[Zealot]] [[Noga 'Putumee]]. For unknown reasons (possibly because he didn't know the Covenant rankings or knew that Field Masters have stronger shields than that of blue armored Sangheili), Jones chose to kill the lesser ranked [[Elite]] first.<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', page 159</ref> His first shot decapitated [[Ado 'Mortumee]], but his second, aimed at [[Noga 'Putumee]], missed due to the Field Master's seeking cover. The [[Covenant]] commander responded by calling down [[Banshees]] to locate and kill the [[human]].
