[[File:Page 122.jpg|thumb|Page 122, by [[Robert McLees]].]]

In the Gallery Art section of the ''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'', '''Pg 122''' (shown right), there are two main boxes of text, along with pictures and maps of [[Operation: KALEIDOSCOPE]]. The text boxes contain one chat log between two people and the other appears to be a log of a data query. Surrounding the boxes are pictures and maps of Operation: KALEIDOSCOPE and other smaller text area's relating to the Operation. One image shows Johnson firing an [[M99 Special Application Scoped Rifle|M99 "Stanchion"]] from a table, while the other picture shows his target.

One major point of interest is the implication that Sergeant [[Avery Johnson]] is a [[ORION Project|SPARTAN-I]]. This is supported by a reference to a program called "ORION" in ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''.

mike44236: Ha ha ha :-P. The query is from the ''Gettysburg'' and it's got ''charlie hotel 4695's'' thumbs all over it.

Similarly, '''charlie hotel 4695''' is '''CH''', or [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. '''C'''atherine '''H'''alsey]]. The 4695 is also shown in the Data Log, when '''HALSEYSRB4695''' -- Dr. Halsey -- requests Johnson's medical log aboard the {{UNSCShip|Gettysburg}} (presumably by means of a [[slipspace COM launcher]] or similar device kept secret from the rest of the crew). On a side note, the file that she receives is '''P_BS48789-2011-AJ.txt''', also known as the '''P'''aris/'''BS''' spoof -- a falsified medical record for '''A'''very '''J'''ohnson.

[[Herzog]] was a character from the alternate reality game [[I love bees|i love bees]]. Herzog was assassinated by another character, Major Standish, when the latter's secret "[[Covenant]] artifact" was in danger of being revealed to his superiors. "[[Sierra10852]]" contains ''sierra'', which is '''S''' in the phonetic alphabet; '''S''' may stand for '''S'''tandish, or some unidentified underling of his whose name also starts with "S".

Looking at the date we see that the events are dated, September 12th, 2552. From the Halo novel, ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', we know that about this time, on the UNSC Gettysburg, Dr. Halsey is talking to [[John-117]] and Sgt. Johnson about how Johnson survived the Flood. On pg 243 Halsey talks about how Johnson wasn’t infected by the [[Flood]] because he developed [[Boren's Syndrome]] on [[Paris IV]].

===Boren's Syndrome Hoax===

[http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=8143418 Other users] have examined the same data and come to the conclusion that Boren's Syndrome is a hoax. This conclusion is based on the '''Paris/BS spoof''', whose name under this theory refers to Paris IV and Boren's Syndrome, the former being the location where Johnson supposedly contracted the disorder. No media currently mentions Johnson suffering from any of the other symptoms of the disorder, so it is entirely possible that he doesn't have it at all.

Halsey tries to get the file but an unidentified entity named Hunter blocks ('''BLK''') the first request. He then runs a command so that the next time that Halsey tries to retrieve the file ('''ON NEXT GET'''), the server instead sends her '''P_BS48789-20114-AJ.txt''' -- the '''P'''aris/'''B'''oren's '''S'''yndrome spoof, whose filename is identical to that of the original file save for the "P_BS" prepended to it.

The Hunter, who might be an Office of Naval Intelligence security AI or some kind of ONI admin, watched Halsey's request and redirected it to a falsified medical record containing the information on Boren's Syndrome.

On the same page of the ''Halo Graphic Novel'' it appears to reveal the contents of file 48789-20114-AJ.txt. It is another patch and doesn't reveal if the file is the real one or the spoof sent to Halsey. It does however offer more evidence that Johnson is a Spartan because it links him with the ORION Project or the '''Spartan I''' program. First Patch revealed on the the Page: Project: ORION/RESTRICTED ACCESS System: Harvest Operation: KALEIDOSCOPE 2502:09:19:14:50:23:13  Project: ORION/RESTRICTED ACCESS CRPL Johnson, Avery Junior 48789-20114-AJ. Another article [[Operation: KALEIDOSCOPE]] talks about the contents of the other patches and the killing of [[Jerald Mulkey Ander]].
