There was a pelican that survived halo by hiding on an asteroid, and johnson was in it with a few other survivors.

It's all in the 3rd halo book 'First Strike'.

Basically, before the events of halo, before sgt was a sgt, he got into a firefight with some covenant. In the scuffle, he captured a whole box of plasma grenades, which he used to terrifying effect. He got a medal, promotion, and tons of radiation as a side effect for using all those grenades. That caused 'boren's syndrome', which requires extensive medial treatment. The sgt didn't want to wait for the whole recovery process to take place, so he foregoed it.

How does this relate?

Well, as the chief saw in Jenkin's video, Keys, Johnson, and a bunch of other marines were ambushed by the flood. They tried to possess Johnson, but the boren's syndrome made it impossible for the flood to 'interact' with his body, so they just left him. He made it back to some marine's camp, and he, along with few others (a odst marine, a lieutenant of section 3, and warrant officer polaski who flies the pelican that gets em off halo).

At the ending of halo 1, Master Chief hooks up with said dropship, and attemps to make it back to earth.

Now go buy the book and finish the story. It's worth the read.

Are you reading this!?

I know all about how Sgt. Johnson has Boren's Syndrom and how he was on the pelican hidden on the asteroid. But was never explained to us was how that pelican managed to pick him up before Insallation 04 was destroyed. The last place we saw the Sgt. was hugging an Elite as the Pillar of Autumn detonated? It's possible that not even Bungie knows and it's just fun for them to never reveal how he escaped. Maybe it's in the Halo Bible and maybe it isn't.

That was just an easter egg. It was just there for fun. Or, with your literalness, how is there 2 Johnsons or Halo and AOTCR?

it was the epic ass-grab that saved him... it put a bubble of loooove around him and the elite, so the ship could pick him up. maybe the elite was arby? thats why johnson helped him at the end of H2! lol jk

How? He escaped in a pelican...

If youre thinking of the last cutscene bit with the elite that isnt considered to be part of the story.
