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 Sniper Rifle|M99 "Stanchion"]] from a table, while the other picture shows his target.

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 areas relating to the operation. One image shows then-[[Corporal]] [[Avery 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 Johnson is a [[ORION Project|SPARTAN-I]]. This is supported by a reference to a program called "ORION" in ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''.

'''Alpha juliet juliet''' from the Chat Log is '''AJJ''' written in the [[Phonetic Alphabet|phonetic alphabet]]. The excerpt above shows that the '''AJJ''' in question is '''A'''very '''J'''unior '''J'''ohnson. The 20114 is part of the serial number on his dog tag.

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.

The third character mentioned in the Chat Log is '''juliet alpha 20101''' -- '''JA'''. Due to the subject matter, '''JA''' is probably [[James Ackerson|Colonel '''J'''ames '''A'''ckerson]]. Ackerson's projects were often competing for funds with those run by Dr. Halsey, so he was always trying to spy on the Spartan program in hopes of sabotaging Halsey's work.

[[Herzog]] was a character from the alternate reality game [[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".

The passage seems to imply that Sierra10852 was executed, though the obscured words in the passage could easily have been "was never", "was almost", etc..

==Analysis==
==Analysis==
Looking at the date, we see that the events are dated September 12, 2552. From the novel ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', we know that about this time, on the {{UNSCShip|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.

===Boren's Syndrome hoax===
===Boren's Syndrome Hoax===
[http://halo.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.''"

Perhaps more incriminating is the '''Data Query Log''', which is split into two parts; the first part is evidently what Dr. Halsey saw. The second part shows what an unidentified entity named '''Hunter''' saw.

Halsey tries to get the file but an unidentified entity named Hunter blocks ('''BLK''') the first request. It 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 a kind of Office of Naval Intelligence security AI or admin, watched Halsey's request and redirected it to a falsified medical record containing the information on Boren's Syndrome.

===ONI Cover-up===
===ONI Cover-up===
There is a lot of speculation as to why ONI is trying to hide the fact that Johnson was a SPARTAN-I, but currently, there are no concrete answers. Some speculate that they are not covering up Johnson's status as a SPARTAN-I, but rather some kind of immunity that the genetically-enhanced humans may have to the [[Flood]]. However, it is shown in ''[[Breaking Quarantine]]'' that Johnson escaped the Flood without any attempted infection, unlike the story he told and the cutscene in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', although an attempted infection could have occurred at any time between the footage in [[Wallace A. Jenkins|Jenkins]]' helmet and ''Breaking Quarantine''.

It is also known that SPARTAN-IIs can be infected by the flood -- in ''Halo: The Flood'', [[Cortana]] helped the [[Master Chief]] narrowly escape infection.

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.
