It was during the war with the Banished, Jerome finally met his son, but for only a quick firefight. But Josh did promise they'll meet again. Josh and the rest of his team heads to a UNSC Frigate code named the Starry Eclipse which is heading to the portal to track the halo ring. They've reached the frigate, but unfortunately, the ship split apart during slipspace, making the team split 3/1. Josh and Jesabel were in the hanger at the time. By the time they woke up, they were drifting in the middle of empty space.

“Where are we?” Josh asked.
“I don't know,” Jesabel bluntly answers. “But we must've split when the portal was unstable. We're stranded, I guess.”

Josh knew that this was serious, but he was sure enough that Lilly and his team would find him and Jesabel, soon. He then headed to the cryobay to get ready for cryogenic sleep. He puts Jesabel in the holo-tank. “It'll be ok.” He said to comfort her. Then he places his sniper rifle in the weapon locker beside his cryo-tube along with his pistol.

“I'll drop a beacon,” she informed him. “It'll take days for them to find us. Years even…”

The Spartan climbed in the cryotube, then he shuts the cryotube. “I'll miss you.” She said to him sadly. He then told her, “Wake me. When you need me.” Just him saying that made Jesabel a little more comfortable. And then, he sleeps. For how long? Well long enough for the UNSC to believe that he’s been MIA for so long...
