She often called him by his name, John, rather than "the Master Chief" or "Spartan 117," and looked him in the eyes instead of focusing on his medals or Spartan insignia. In fact, John noticed that she was the only one to do so.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HTFoRC24|HTFoR|chapter=24}} | ||
The two first met when | The two first met when Halsey wanted to test him as a SPARTAN-II candidate. He was playing a brutal version of king of the hill when she intervened. Wondering if he had any trouble with pushing her off the hill, she engaged him in conversation. When leaving, she mistakenly called him by his name instead of "Number 117."{{Ref/Novel|Id=HTFoRC2|HTFoR|chapter=2}} | ||
During training, when a squad leader needed to be chosen, she told [[Franklin Mendez|Chief Mendez]] that John was the best option. So, when Mendez asked her what to do about John, who had stolen a [[D96-TCE Albatross]], she suggested promoting him rather than punishing him.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HTFoRC5|HTFoR|chapter=5}} | |||
After augmentations, Mendez conducted an exercise that was witnessed by Halsey. She was deeply upset when John was lethally targeted with stun guns and nearly shot.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HTFoRC8|HTFoR|chapter=8}} | |||
In [[2559]], when | In 2552, when Kelly asked if John had survived the war, Halsey replied that John had always been the luckiest. When informed of the possibility that John might be dead, she struggled to accept it{{Ref/Novel|Id=HGlaC15|HGla|chapter=15}} and hoped instead that John was merely missing, not KIA.{{Ref/Level|H4|Prologue}} | ||
Upon discovering that the UNSC had hidden the fact that John was alive, she was shocked and angrily slapped [[Thomas Lasky|Captain Lasky]], pointing out that she should have been informed.{{Citation needed}} Later, in [[2558]], when Blue Team went AWOL, she told Lasky that John was not mentally prepared to face [[Cortana]] as a threat and asked [[Jameson Locke|Spartan Locke]] to "bring John home."{{Ref/Level|H5G|Before the Storm}} | |||
In [[2559]], when she ordered Blue Team to gather top-secret assets from [[CASTLE Base]] on [[Reach]], she was distressed by the difficulties of the mission. {{Ref/Novel|Id=HSoRC13|HSoR|chapter=13}} After the mission, she was dismayed to see Blue Team return in such poor condition. She asked John if he knew that Spartans were her greatest achievement, to which he responded by asking if she was okay. He wanted to tell her that he and the other Spartans were proud of what they had become, but he struggled to find the right words.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSoRCEpilogue|HSoR|chapter=Epilogue}} Later, while creating [[The Weapon|the Weapon]], she questioned whether John could kill his own friend. Consequently, she suggested him to step down, but he refused.{{Citation needed}} | |||

John and [[Thel 'Vadam]]'s first meeting on Delta Halo was hostile, with the Arbiter continually referring to the Spartan as "Demon" and John's insistence that the San'Shyuum were making a "big mistake" by activating the Halo rings. This was also complicated by the fact that John was directly responsible for Thel being stripped of his rank and branded with the [[Mark of Shame]] because of John's destruction of [[Installation 04]]. Despite this, Thel would later admit that he possessed a modicum of respect for John even as enemies. Upon their next meeting on Earth, John was quick to try and kill the Sangheili before Johnson stopped him. They remained initially wary of one another, but learned to trust each other in combat against the Covenant and the Flood. Thel proved his trustworthiness to John through actions such as assisting him in the rescue of Sergeant Johnson, or counseling his fellow Sangheili not to glass all of Earth after the Flood outbreak at Voi. When they reached the Ark, the two's reliance on each other was cemented, and John demonstrated his respect for Thel by allowing him be the one to kill the Prophet of Truth. The Arbiter also came to his aid on ''High Charity'' despite having little need to do so, and chose to fight with John to the end in his efforts to stop the Flood and consoled him on Johnson's death. 'Vadam was the last one to see John alive before the latter went missing after the war, and afterward expressed to Lord Hood mild doubt that John might be dead. 'Vadam would later refer to John as a friend with John having reciprocated their friendship,{{Ref/Film|[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection terminal trailer]]|Quote=And your Master Chief calls me... friend.}} and upon learning that he was still alive following the [[Battle of Ealen IV|events]] on [[Ealen IV]], Thel believed that he was the key to the galaxy's future. During the [[Battle of Sunaion]], Thel referred to the Chief as the greatest of all Spartans, and later asked Spartan Locke to give the Chief his greetings.
