Jon was now experiencing what it felt like to have no body, all that was there was his mind. He screamed into the void the keywords to reverse the swap, but nothing happened. In what seemed like an eternity of thinking, he realized that it's because he has no voice to actually say the words to reverse the wish.
If he was really a hologram now, that means he'd need to be "Activated" to be able to speak and reverse the swap. Something that he didn't know would ever happen considering that he'd just swapped bodies with a formerly non existence game character. He had no idea if anyone on the outside knew that Jon was a hologram or if anyone ever considered him a real person after the swap. He didn't exactly have time to check all his personal knick-knacks and whatnot.
Then Jon discovered something else, in actual reality, all those thoughts had crossed his mind in less then a millisecond. Jon's mind had become substantially faster since becoming a hologram. The whole sequence of events leading up to his "deactivation" also happened in less then a second. Jon was now thinking thousands of times faster then he could in his old human body. That meant that he'd easily have time to try and figure a way out of this hologrammatic purgatory and get back to his old body.
However, at the moment, Jon didn't know what to do next though.
Jon spent as much time as he could figuring out how to get out of the environment he created for himself but kept coming up blank. The problem with being super intelligent is that unless you have a base understanding of the underlying equipment and theory, there really was no way for you to figure out how to accomplish your goal. It was like a caveman trying to figure out how to build a laptop even if he'd been trained to use a word processor; the knowledge just isn't there. So Jon spent the time just standing there, doing pretty much nothing the whole time except avoiding thinking about his predicament.
He found that if he tried to think of what would happen, his gave himself a headache - if that was even possible for an AI - just conjuring up all the possibilities, and considering his intelligence, he could think up an almost infinite number of possible outcomes for his little mess.
However, Jon believed that he just needed someone to activate the holographic plate which should still be on the floor of his living room. Hopefully if he could get activated by someone, even if it was his mother out of curiosity, he would be able to escape and turn back to normal.
But as Jon reasoned, it is quite possible that with the body swap that occurred, everyone knew Jon was a hologram and treated him as such. He figured it was highly unlikely that the entire world has warped significantly enough to actually put him into the halo universe.
With the range the stone seemed to have as a few miles and the "logic" that Jon calculated the stone's wishing ability seemed to have, that ruled this possibility out.
While Jon continued to float in his formless state, he felt a tugging sensation in the distance and a rush of light. Metaphorically speaking, Jon closed his eyes to shut out the blinding light that was speeding towards him.
