I would like to know, too. I guess it may have been explained in one of the Halo novels? : /

Sarge has this thing called Boren's Syndrome which he got from using plasma grenades improperly; it affects your nervous system.

It's because of this syndrome that the Flood can't take him as a host; they need the nervous system to sustain themselves, but since Sarge's is all messed up they can't do a thing.

Anyways, he was able to escape the Forerunner complex, call for a Pelican to evac him, then was able to escape Halo.

And there is no real answer to how he got from hugging an Elite to escaping Halo. My guess is that Bungie didn't expect him to be such a popular character and killed him off too soon.

That was an easter egg for those who finished the last level on Legendary. It is not canonical.

Sergeant johnson got off Halo via a pelican with three other marines. The pelican hid in amongst the debris of Halo before Masterchief and cortana found them. The legendary clip was considered an easter egg and so johnson would not of been near the POA when it exploded. Also you may want to know how Johnson survived the flood, wee i can tell you. He has Boren syndrom he gained after fighting a horde of covenant with a crate of plasma grenades on Paris 4. He has abnormal frequencies in his nervous system which stopped the flood getting into his mind, so they couldnt infest his body.

Although he may say he has Boren's Syndrome, it is actually a cover up for the fact Johnson is a SPARTAN-I. Go to pg. 122 of the Halo Graphic novel. That is why the flood didn't take him.

100% correct. However, beyond being immune to the Flood, Johnson is just a normal soldier.
