When the duo found out that there was a [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|former Covenant]] fleet around the ''Dawn'' and one of the {{Class|CRS|light cruiser}}s was moving into a intercept course, Cortana instructed John to fire one of ''Dawn'''s missiles at the cruiser. The Spartan battled through the wreckage and managed to destroy the cruiser moments before it fired its energy projector. While on the outer hull, John was scanned by a beam coming from Requiem, which then opened its interior for the Reclaimer. ''Forward Unto Dawn'', along with several Covenant cruisers, was pulled into Requiem's interior.<ref name="Dawn"/> | ||
John-117 and Cortana survived the fall into Requiem's middle shell. They decided to hijack one of the surviving Covenant ships to return to Earth, where they would be able to find [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] to assess Cortana's [[rampancy]].

While looking for a way to contact ''Infinity'', John and Cortana accidentally triggered Requiem's guardians, the Prometheans.<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Requiem (level)|Requiem]]''</ref> The Prometheans attacked the Spartan as well as Jul's Covenant. In an effort the warn ''Infinity'' of Requiem's gravity well, the Spartan-AI team disabled two energy pylons inside [[Core of Requiem|Requiem's core]] in order to eliminate interference emitted from a satellite in the core.
