== | ==Summary== | ||
[[File:Hgn-johnson.jpg|thumb|Sergeant Johnson opens fire on the Flood.]] | |||
Following contact with the Flood, Sergeant Johnson manages to avoid being overwhelmed by [[Pod infector|Pod infectors]]. He fires at a Pod infector which has latched onto [[Private]] [[Wallace A. Jenkins|Jenkins]], though he fails to kill it. He watches as the Marine transforms before his eyes into a [[flood combat form|combat form]]. The combat form delivers a blow to Johnson's arm, throwing the sergeant out of the containment room, across a large observation chamber, and into a wall. | |||
Several infected Marines approach Johnson, prompting him to run into a hallway. He locks the door with a [[spoofer]] and proceeds down the hallway. An infected Marine fires a [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|shotgun]] at Johnson. The pellets hit the wall, missing the sergeant by inches. Johnson dives to the ground, firing the remaining rounds in his [[MA5B Individual Combat Weapon System|assault rifle]] into the combat form, ripping its head off but not killing it. He then shoots down the combat form with his [[M6D Personal Defense Weapon System|pistol]]. He makes his way across an [[energy bridge]], jumping onto the other side just as a combat form shuts the bridge down. As he jumps across the chasm, he throws a [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|grenade]] behind him. The explosion kills his pursuers, knocking him to the ground. He steps onto the lift, glad to have finally escaped the Flood. | |||

*There are several discrepancies in the story. For example, instead of bleeding yellowish fluid (as commonly seen in the games), the combat forms bleed red fluids, and the number of pellets coming out of the barrel of the shotgun is greatly exaggerated. Additionally, at the beginning of the story, Johnson and his teammates appear to be in a different place inside the containment facility from the one seen in the level ''[[343 Guilty Spark (level)|343 Guilty Spark]]''. | |||
*In the story, the Pod infectors are able to infect the Marines in mere seconds. This behavior was not seen in-game until ''[[Halo 3]]''. | |||
