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).

Looking at the date | 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]]. | ||
This brings up an interesting point as in the conversation mike44236 says, ''Thanks and yes. The query was intercepted with the Paris/BS spoof. But what am I supposed to do now?'' '''Paris/BS spoof'''? Paris/BS spoof could mean the method used to bring Halsey's data query to mike44236 's attention or it could mean something quite different. | This brings up an interesting point as in the conversation mike44236 says, ''Thanks and yes.

[http:// | [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. | ||
On a side note, when the Master Gunnery Sergeant from the ''[[Halo 2]]'' [[Campaign]] level [[The Armory]], asked, "''Hey Johnson, when're you gonna tell me how you got back home in one piece?''" Johnson replied, "''Sorry Guns, that's classified.''" | On a side note, when the Master Gunnery Sergeant from the ''[[Halo 2]]'' [[Campaign]] level [[The Armory]], asked, "''Hey Johnson, when're you gonna tell me how you got back home in one piece?''"
