Jun becoming a recruiter for the [[SPARTAN-IV program]] was first teased in the Xbox Live Marketplace's description for the Commander Palmer Armor avatar, in [[2013|July 2013]].<ref>[http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/Product/Commander-Palmer-Armor/00000ffc-69a7-f211-c9c0-33834d530919 '''Xbox.com''': ''Commander Palmer Armor'']</ref> Prior to the release of ''[[Halo: Initiation]]'' in August 2013, which confirmed and expanded on this information, there existed numerous discussions involving Jun's fate following the events of ''Halo: Reach''. As Jun is not mentioned in ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', fans long speculated that he was killed between the events of "The Package" and the novel. In the ''Halo: Reach Legendary Edition'' developer commentary, [[Martin O'Donnell]] and [[Lee Wilson]] jokingly state that "the sequel" tells the story of Jun and Halsey's escape, and of their children, who are "very smart snipers". At Comic-Con 2011, [[Frank O'Connor]] stated, ''"Jun's fate may not ever be discovered."'' During ''[[Halo Waypoint]]'''s exploration and background explanation on the [[Defiant Map Pack]], three dead Spartans wearing armor identical to Jun can be seen in the remains of a destroyed Pelican on the level ''[[Highlands]]''. | Jun becoming a recruiter for the [[SPARTAN-IV program]] was first teased in the Xbox Live Marketplace's description for the Commander Palmer Armor avatar, in [[2013|July 2013]].<ref>[http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/Product/Commander-Palmer-Armor/00000ffc-69a7-f211-c9c0-33834d530919 '''Xbox.com''': ''Commander Palmer Armor'']</ref> Prior to the release of ''[[Halo: Initiation]]'' in August 2013, which confirmed and expanded on this information, there existed numerous discussions involving Jun's fate following the events of ''Halo: Reach''.
