Six hours later, Jonathan woke up in his pod, which had been lodged into a building in the occupied [[New Mombasa City Centre|city center]] of New Mombasa. The Superintendent had been monitoring him and waiting for him to wake up. As Jonathan dropped to the streets below and started to move on, the Superintendent provided him with valuable help, activating signs to guide him to safety and uploading a map of the city to his [[VISR]] database.

After deducing the events of the previous six hours, Jonathan picked up a message from Dare, requesting assistance in the [[New Mombasa Data Center]].{{Ref/Reuse|mst}} Upon reaching the Underground, Jonathan learned she was on Sublevel 09. After reaching a Data Stack, he ran into [[Unidentified NMPD officer|an NMPD officer]] attempting to check on his men; however, the Superintendent wouldn't let the officer onto the next level until Jonathan arrived at his location. The two fought their way through Covenant forces and reached Sublevel 09 together. However, the officer suddenly stopped their progress, and entered a nearby room for a "personnel issue". Even though the officer told him to stay outside, Jonathan entered the room and discovered the corpse of Dr. Endesha.

The officer attacked Jonathan to tie up loose ends, but the more heavily armed and better-armored Rookie killed the police officer in self-defense.<ref name="datah">'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[Data Hive]]''</ref>{{Ref/Note|Id=canon|While there are two possible events in the game depending on the number of audio logs the player has collected, the ''Essential Visual Guide'' has confirmed that Jonathan did collect all of the Audio Logs and learned of Sadie's Story.

After fighting through more Covenant, Jonathan finally arrived at Dare's location, much to her surprise. She finally told him of her mission: to retrieve the data the Superintendent recorded during the Prophet of Regret's attack on the city. Dare and Jonathan were forced to fight their way through an entire Drone hive, as well as other assorted Covenant. They found a defected [[Huragok]] called [[Quick to Adjust]]<ref>[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2997288_Is-there-an-actual-name-for-Vergil.aspx#post2997288 '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Is there an actual name for Vergil?'']</ref> holding the Superintendent's data. While Dare was initially hostile towards the creature, Jonathan, as he learned through the audio logs that the creature helped Endesha, was in fact friendly. He befriended it with just a single whistle, having learned from the audio logs that Vergil had been learning how to whistle to communicate with the creature. Dare learned that Quick was willing to reveal information about the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|datah}}{{Ref/NoteReuse|canon}} | After fighting through more Covenant, Jonathan finally arrived at Dare's location, much to her surprise.

Jonathan then reunited with Buck and proceeded to assist Dare and Quick in their escape from the Data Center.{{Ref/Reuse|datah}} After fighting past a Covenant outpost and up another [[elevator]], the four arrived at the [[New Mombasa Waterfront Highway|Waterfront Highway]].

At some point, it was revealed that Covenant forces attacked some of the home colonies on Mars and Luna on their way to Earth, killing most if not all of Jonathan‘s relatives back on Luna. He disliked talking about it, and when asked by Buck, he just gritted his teeth and stated that “There’s nothing left there for me now.”<ref name="NB12>'''Halo: New Blood''', Chapter 12</ref> | At some point, it was revealed that Covenant forces attacked some of the home colonies on Mars and Luna on their way to Earth, killing most if not all of Jonathan‘s relatives back on Luna.

Like [[John-117]] and [[SPARTAN-B312]], The Rookie is meant to be a largely undefined character with whom the player can easily identify. As such, his face is never seen and he never speaks. He is thus a true silent protagonist, in contrast to all other playable characters in the ''Halo'' series, who have dialogue at least in cutscenes. It is believed that his initials, J.D., are a reference to "[[Wikipedia:John Doe|John Doe]]," a placeholder name commonly given to a male who is as of yet unidentified. The [[2022]] edition of the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)|Halo Encyclopedia]]'' would reveal Rookie's full name to be Jonathan Doherty,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p97}} which is | Like [[John-117]] and [[SPARTAN-B312]], The Rookie is meant to be a largely undefined character with whom the player can easily identify.
