Im reading it right now cant seem to find it yet.

My mistake, It's in Halo : The Flood, page 16. Look out for The Orion Project.

Stupid ass washing machine...

It was never confirmed in the novels, merely hinted at. When asked, Joe Staten of Bungie (who is basically their main writer/fiction guy) confirmed that Johnson is indeed a Spartan-I or Orion Project experiment-ee.

Halo Graphic Novel and Contact Harvest. Though you would have had to remember a line from The Flood about ORION.

Yeah I remember that, some person asked Joe what his favorite Spartan was from the Halo books and Joe said that if counting Spartan 1's he would go with Johnson.

Okay, listen, we should get our stories straight, all right? If anyone asks, and no one's gonna ask, don't worry, but if anyone asks, tell them as far as you know, the last time you checked, everyone looked pretty much alive, all right? Not dead.

I dont understand what connection has the flood with orion project ?
Here page 16:


Chaos reigned as the ships crew did the best they could to push the boarders back toward
the air locks or to trap them in compartments where they could be contained and
dispatched later.
Unarmed and well aware of the fact that Captain Keyes needed him on the bridge the
Master Chief had little choice but to follow the signs and avoid the firefights that raged
all around. He made his way down a darkened access corridorthe Covenant boarders
must have shorted out the illumination circuits in this compartment and nearly ran
headlong into a Covenant Elite.
The aliens personal shields sparked and he roared in surprise and anger. The Spartan
crouched and prepared to meet the alien soldiers charge then ducked as a Marine fireteam
unleashed a barrage of assault rifle fire at the Elite. Purple gore splashed the
bulkhead and the alien dropped in a crumpled heap.
The Marines moved forward to secure the area and the Chief nodded in thanks to the
squad leader He turned sprinted down the passageway and made it to the bridge without
further incident.
He looked out through the main viewport saw the strangelooking construct that floated
out beyond the cruisers hull and was momentarily curious about what it was. No doubt
the Captain would fill him in. He strode toward the captains station near the center of
the bridge.
A variety of naval personnel sat hunched at their consoles as they struggled to control
their beleaguered vessel. Some battled the latest wave of Seraph fighters others worked
on damage control and one grimfaced Lieutenant made use of the ships environmental
systems to suck the atmosphere out of those compartments which had been occupied by
Covenant forces. Some of the enemy carried their own atmosphere but some of them
didnt and that made them vulnerable. There were crew in some of those spaces perhaps
some she knew personally but there was no way to save them. If she didnt kill them
then the enemy would.
The Chief understood the situation well. Better a quick death in vacuum than at the hands
of the Covenant.
He spotted Keyes near the main tactical display. Keyes studied the screens intently
particularly a large display of the strange ring.
The Spartan came to attention. Captain Keyes.
Captain Keyes turned to face him. Good to see you Master Chief. Things arent going
well. Cortana did her best but we never really had a chance.

punctuation been removed because it dosent allow me to post with it.
I see no connection between orion project and this page...

I have defied gods and demons.
I am your shield. I am your sword.
I know you. Your past; your future.
This is the way the world ends.

not with a bang, but a whimper.

This is the second half of page 16 of Halo; The Flood

Sam hit the execute command, the security lockout
dropped away, and a countdown timer began marking time
until the wake-up sequence would be completed.
The soldier was coming around. Respiration was up, ditto
his heart rate, as both returned to normal levels. Here he is,
Sam thought, a real honest-to-god Spartan. Not just any
Spartan, but maybe the last Spartan. The shipboard scuttlebutt
said that the rest of them had bought the farm at Reach.
Like his fellow techs, Sam had heard of the program,
though he'd never seen an actual Spartan in person. In order
to deal with increasing civil turmoil the Colonial Military
Administration had secretly launched Project ORION back
in 2491.
The purpose of the program was to develop supersoldiers,
code-named "Spartans," who would receive special
training and physical augmentation.
The initial effort was successful, and in 2517 a new group
of Spartans, the II-series, had been selected as the next generation

of supersoldier. The project had been intended to remain
secret, but the Covenant War had changed all that.

This page is somewhere below page 16 in my story.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Contact Harvest, the Graphic Novel, First Strike and The Flood all allude to it.

Mind bark is the ability to think before acting, foresee issues, and sway others. Like the bark of both trees and dogs, your mind becomes vivid and more callus. Thus, we use "mind bark."

Johnson's a spartan? Then I'm a harbinger of darkness and smite of souls.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Well in Contact Harvest, when Johnson checked in, operations started popping up. ORION was one of them(and seeing as he is NavSpecWarfare sniper this almost 100% means he is a S-I) and KALIADASCOPE, which was a S-I largescale deployment against Innie forces.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.
