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]]''.

First the info boxes from ''Page 122'' of the ''Halo Graphic Novel'':

mike44236: Thanx and yes. The query was intercepted with the Paris/BS spoof, but what am I supposed to do now?

echo23023: Whaddayamean? Send a counter-query. right? Isn't there anyone local? WTF? RUnoobMB?

mike44236: </groan> Soooo... ''alpha20101'' and ''hotel4696'' have both made queries and even though both of them have deep ''deep'' access, the files they are looking for are ''SEALED'' from the ''TOP'' and are ''STICKY'' to boot!

echo23023: Either of them given you reason to think they suspect juliett20114 is a ''one''?

mike44236: ''Hotel4695 didn't'', but ''alpha20101'' made several other queries along the line. I didn't counter-query - didn't want to heap that kind of grief on any of ours - so I gave it a red check and forwarded it to Section 0.

A Project ORION patch on the upper left corner of the page reads:  

'''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.

 

 

Mike44236 and Echo23023 also talk about ''ones'' and ''twos'', meaning SPARTAN-Is and [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-IIs]], respectively.

mike44236 and echo23023 may work in Section 3 of ONI, because they talk about forwarding the information to Section 0.

So a legend would look like this:

*'''ones''' = SPARTAN-Is

*'''two''' = SPARTAN-IIs

'''mike44236''' Be that as it may: golf51979 doesn't play that fiefdom crap like tango12756

executed for the Herzog killing.

[[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..

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===

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.

First, Dr. Halsey tries to download some kind of medical records for '''A'''very '''J'''ohnson: '''48789-20114-AJ.txt'''.

  [[Wikipedia:SSH file transfer protocol|sftp]]> get 48789-20114-AJ.txt

When Halsey first tries to get the file, she gets a file unavailable message, prompting her to re-attempt the download. The second attempt to get the file is successful. This oddity is explained in the second part of the query log.

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.

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''.
