Narrowly escaping the collapsing core of Requiem, the Chief and Cortana returned to the planet's surface only to find their warning to the ''Infinity'' came too late. The massive warship crashed more than 70 kilometers away, with a massive force of Covenant and Prometheans closing on their position.<ref name="h4inf">'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Infinity (Halo 4 level)|Infinity]]''</ref> | Narrowly escaping the collapsing core of Requiem, the Chief and Cortana returned to the planet's surface only to find their warning to the ''Infinity'' came too late.

Evading capture, John was successful in regrouping with a group of [[SPARTAN-IV Program|SPARTAN-IVs]] led by [[Commander]] [[Thomas Lasky]]. Recognizing the Chief immediately, Lasky asked John and Cortana to clear a landing zone so that Infinity's ground forces could fall back to the ship which had fallen under siege. Commandeering a Scorpion tank, John led the attack to the crippled vessel alongside Commander [[Sarah Palmer]]'s [[Spartan (branch)|Spartans]]. Using the UNSC's latest weapon, the [[Mantis]] exoskeleton, John rallied a force of nearby Marines and regained control of the ship's interior. After reinitializing the ship's secondary MAC guns and missile batteries, the tide turned in the UNSC's favor.

With a momentary lull in the fighting, John was called to a strategy meeting with [[Andrew Del Rio]], Captain of the ''Infinity''. Skeptical of the threat of the Prometheans, Rio ordered an immediate attack on a Forerunner gravity well preventing the ship from leaving. A strike force of Spartans led by John was deployed with a Mammoth-class ultra heavy ground vehicle supporting the attack. Facing daunting odds, the UNSC was able to defeat a large armored strike force of Covenant and Promethean and disabled the gravity beam. Upon reaching his objective, John was confronted with a vision from the [[Librarian]], who warned him of the Didact's true plans. After explaining their history to them, she provided John with a gift, a medical treatment to counteract the Forerunner's devolution of the human genome, and a means to resist the Didact's plan to enslave the human race once again.<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]]''</ref> | With a momentary lull in the fighting, John was called to a strategy meeting with [[Andrew Del Rio]], Captain of the ''Infinity''.
