On [[2557#July|July 25, 2557]] John was debriefed by the [[UNSC Security Council]], though this questioning session as well as his survival were kept secret from Doctor Halsey.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Invasion|S1E7 ''Invasion'']]</ref> John confirmed that Cortana and the Composer were both destroyed over Earth, but he was unable to confirm the Didact's death. With there being no proof of a living [[Forerunner]], the Council decided to tell the general public that the attack on New Phoenix was caused by the [[Covenant remnants]] and ended by the return of a hero, the Master Chief. Following his meeting with the Security Council, the Master Chief met with [[Terrence Hood|Lord Terrence Hood]]. Hood asked the Master Chief if he could advise a team on Installation 03 to investigate the loss of contact with a science team escorted by Spartan [[Black Team]] on the ring. The Master Chief then reunited with Blue Team, consisting of Fred-104, Kelly-087, and Linda-058. | On [[2557#July|July 25, 2557]] John was debriefed by the [[UNSC Security Council]], though this questioning session as well as his survival were kept secret from Doctor Halsey.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Invasion|S1E7 ''Invasion'']]</ref> John confirmed that Cortana and the Composer were both destroyed over Earth, but he was unable to confirm the Didact's death.

John and the rest of Blue Team took a Longsword fighter to Gamma Halo and landed in near the science team's camp. There, the Spartans found the corpses of both the science team and Spartan Black. After being attacked by Promethean Knights, Blue Team discovered the former location of the Composer and within, the [[Composer's Abyss]], a facility used to store the Composer's victims.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 8|Issue #8]]''</ref> The Spartans entered a [[slipspace portal]] at the end of the Abyss and were [[Slipspace translocation|teleported]] to the [[Composer's Forge]], housing six new Composers, where they were confronted by the Didact and his Promethean constructs. During the battle, [[859 Static Carillon]], the Forge's [[monitor]], transported Installation 03 over the Forge by the Didact's request. The Didact subsequently took one of the Composers and departed for the Halo, intending to use the ring to eradicate humanity. Infuriated by the Didact bringing his Prometheans to the Composer's Forge, Static Carillon allied with the Spartans and escorted them back to the portal, holding off the hordes of Promethean machines.<ref name="HE9">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 9|Issue #9]]''</ref> | John and the rest of Blue Team took a Longsword fighter to Gamma Halo and landed in near the science team's camp.

Blue Team returned to the surface of Gamma Halo from the Composer's Abyss, arriving just in time as the Didact's new Composer rose from the pit. John fell behind while the Didact attacked and prepared to kill the others, starting with Kelly. Before he could do so, the Master Chief sneaked behind the Didact and stabbed him in the eye with his combat knife. Intending to correct his mistake of not having killed the Spartan when he had the chance, the Didact grabbed John by the head, lifted him in the air and squeezed,<ref name="HE9"/> cracking his visor. However, the rest of Blue Team intervened, prompting the Didact to throw John aside. The Forerunner quickly disabled all four Spartans, but Static Carillon arrived and teleported the Didact into the Halo's [[Control Room (Installation 03)|control room]] before he could finish them off.<ref name="HE10">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 10|Issue #10]]''</ref> | Blue Team returned to the surface of Gamma Halo from the Composer's Abyss, arriving just in time as the Didact's new Composer rose from the pit.

As with all Spartans, John strives to win at any situation, at all costs. Although the drive to win was ingrained to the Spartans as part of their indoctrination, John appears to have possessed such an inclination even prior to his conscription; as a child, he would win at any game he played, including chess, [[gravball]] or King of the Hill.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 25''</ref> He is extremely determined to complete any mission at hand, and often disregards his personal safety to do so. He is also noted for his exceptional luck, which, along with his combat skills and unyielding persistence, has allowed him to emerge victorious from situations many would consider impossible. Although he is not devoid of fear, he simply acknowledges the feeling and puts it aside.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 205''</ref> He is calm at the face of danger but not foolhardy, as demonstrated during his first encounter with the Gravemind, when he warned the Arbiter that his arrogance was likely to get him killed.<ref name="gravem"/> | As with all Spartans, John strives to win at any situation, at all costs.

John is generally stoic and taciturn, but not devoid of a sense of humor. He often makes dry remarks about the situation in hand; however, this seems to be more frequent when interacting with Cortana than anyone else, such as the other Spartans. He does not see himself as a superior being and fears for the lives of others before his own, putting himself in harm's way for the safety of civilians, and fellow soldiers, and does not judge others. | John is generally stoic and taciturn, but not devoid of a sense of humor.

John is known to show an exceptional care for soldiers under his command. An example of this is during the Battle of Installation 04. When making his way up to the [[Silent Cartographer]], two Helljumpers, PFC [[Hosky]] and [[Unnamed Corporal|another Corporal]], were killed by two Hunters. Afterward he regretted their loss, blaming himself for their deaths.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 165''</ref> This, and his reaction to [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]]'s death on [[Installation 04B]] show that he does have a degree of care and sympathy for soldiers under his command, even if he does do a good job of concealing his feelings. | John is known to show an exceptional care for soldiers under his command.
