Okay, let me begin by saying that I expect a certain amount of negativity for this idea. That said, it is kind of crap that John gets left behind. The question is, how would humanity recover him? Well, with the Elite and Human alliance, let's say that humanity has made some breakthroughs with slip-space jumps. ONI may or may not have decided to study forerunner tech, more specifically, the remaining Halo rings. You may or may not play as either an ODST or possibly a Spartan III (shhh, I know, but who is to say that ONI hasn't made more). Your mission may or may not be to go to one of these rings and explore. Reason YOU are sent? To protect the eggheads. Now, say that your egghead finds something that leads the team to an ancient forerunner planet, long uninhabited by anything but wildlife (because slaughter of non-sentient beings is always fun) and you protect the eggheads while they search for whatever they are looking for. Perhaps they find a map, and that map leads you all across the Halo universe, and the end destination just happens to be a certain spot in the universe that half of a ship is just sort of floating in space. Say you board the ship, and find a cryostasis chamber with a certain participant of the Spartan II program and an AI that has turned herself almost off. Now, this hypothetical situation might have a lot of gaps in it, but with the right kind of ingenuity, it could very well become a pretty good closer, or possibly even an opener to a new series of games that have Spartans. I'm just saying, Halo should not end at Reach. It's too good of a series to end at three games. Don't let Halo die, Bungie... Please? :(
