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.

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}}

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 itself likely a play on "John Doe".
