How did Johnson survive Halo:CE?

This is something that has bothered me for a while, so maybe someone more versed in Halo canon has the answer. At the end of Halo:CE, you destroy Installation 04 by overloading the reactors on the crashed Pillar of Autumn. After escaping on the fighter, Cortana does a scan and declares there are no human life signs remaining. Yet, somehow Johnson survives. How? If he was evacuated by Echo 419 at some point, to where?

The Pillar of Autumn was seconds away from exploding when the Chief escaped there is no way that Johnson survived using that method.[/quote]It's not a theory it actually happens in First Strike. According to the Flood, MC and Cortana were in contact with the other marines about their plan, and the marines were attempting to steal Truth an Recreation in order to escape Halo. My theory as to how Johnson and the other got off in time was that they were going to rendezvous with the TaR, but before they could reach it, it blew up (long story). Then, knowing MC was going to blow up Halo soon, they left the ring. Edit: just to clarify it is a canonical fact that Johnson and several other people escape aboard a pelican, my theory is just an attempt to explain how they knew to get off the Ring in time. [/quote] Read First Strike again. Johnson didn't escape aboard a pelican. He surprises Chief on his Longsword.[/quote] Oh so he did not die in HALO CE in the cut scene on Legendary when MC flys off with Cortana ? He teleported on board. It was an attempt to keep him alive for next two games. It conflicts with the Game so the book rewrites that he lives.[/quote] There is no conflict, we never see what happens to Johnson after Jenkins' helmet cam cuts off. His fate was ultimately ambiguous, that gave space for the novel to detail his fate and how he ultimately survived.
