[[File:Mom, Son, & Daughter.png|thumb|250px|Dr. Halsey presenting Cortana to John.]] | [[File:Mom, Son, & Daughter.png|thumb|250px|Dr. Halsey presenting Cortana to John.<ref group="note">In [[2014]], when asked about the appearance of the Mark IV armor seen being worn by Spartan-IIs in the [[prologue]] of ''[[Halo 4]]'', the game's creative director, [[Josh Holmes]], admitted that it was "canonically incorrect". He blamed time constraints which did not allow for the creation of a unique asset for the prologue. Of note, Holmes called the armor worn by John in the game's campaign and seen in the prologue "[[Spartan-IV]] armor" and the questioner had been mistakenly asking why the Spartans were not wearing [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V]]. At the point in time when John met Cortana he was wearing Mark V armor, rather than the design visually depicted in this image.</ref>]] | ||
In July of 2552, the [[Covenant]] [[Fleet of Valiant Prudence]] invaded Reach, with knowledge of this engagement kept secret from John and the rest of the Spartans as to not compromise the planned [[Operation: RED FLAG]] - a mission with the objective of capturing a {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} or {{Class|CSO|supercarrier}} with intent to use it to transport Spartans to the Covenant capitol and capture a [[Hierarchs|Hierarch]], hopefully forcing an end to the war. The ''Valiant'' arrived at Reach in August, at which point he was debriefed on the Sigma Octanus battle and recovered artifact. A few weeks later, John was summoned, along with all other available Spartans, for a briefing on RED FLAG. | In July of 2552, the [[Covenant]] [[Fleet of Valiant Prudence]] invaded Reach, with knowledge of this engagement kept secret from John and the rest of the Spartans as to not compromise the planned [[Operation: RED FLAG]] - a mission with the objective of capturing a {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} or {{Class|CSO|supercarrier}} with intent to use it to transport Spartans to the Covenant capitol and capture a [[Hierarchs|Hierarch]], hopefully forcing an end to the war.
