On March 11, six days after DeMarco's death on [[Ealen IV]], ''Infinty'' arrived in the [[Artesia-702 system]] having received a distress signal from the damaged [[freighter]] ''[[Pilgrims Pride]]''. When an ambush was sprung, Fireteam Majestic was deployed along Fireteams [[Fireteam Colossus|Colossus]] and [[Fireteam Fenrir|Fenrir]] to repel attack and prevent the freighter from self-destructing on the ''Infinity''. Leading the fireteams, Thorne ordered teams Colossus and Fenrir to secure the ship while Majestic made their way to the core. As the Spartans advance through the freighter, they encountered [[M202 XP machine gun|automated defense turrets]] but Madsen was able to swiftly destroy them with his rifle. With the enemy going into retreat, the freighter was tugged out into space, where Grant ejected the ship's core before it exploded. The Spartans survived the detonation and requested pickup.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 4|Issue #4]]''</ref> | On March 11, six days after DeMarco's death on [[Ealen IV]], ''Infinty'' arrived in the [[Artesia-702 system]] having received a distress signal from the damaged [[freighter]] ''[[Pilgrims Pride]]''.

Following the attack, ''Infinity'' learned that the assault crafts from the freighter belonged to the long-lost {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. Roland discovered that the freighter was launched near [[Oth Lodon]], a gas giant located deep in Jiralhanae space. With the Spirit's possible location found, Lord Hood authorized Commander Palmer to conduct a search and rescue mission. Equipped with [[OF92 Booster Frame]]s, Fireteam Majestic and Palmer scouted the planet's system. Madsen was thrilled during the expedition, pushing the limits of his booster frame. When asked by Thorne to restrain himself, Madsen retorted that Palmer was in command, at which point Palmer told him to obey his team leader. Exploring the system's asteroid field, the Spartans came across not the ''Spirit of Fire'' but instead a [[Oth Lodon station|Covenant station]] under control by [[New Colonial Alliance]] insurgents.<ref name="HE5">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 5|Issue #5]]''</ref> | Following the attack, ''Infinity'' learned that the assault crafts from the freighter belonged to the long-lost {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}.

The eldest member of Fireteam Majestic, Madsen served as DeMarco's ''de facto'' second-in-command; he and DeMarco were also particularly close friends. As a Spartan, he strives to salvage his previously unremarkable military career and secure his legacy despite being admitted to the program purely on the basis of nepotism. | The eldest member of Fireteam Majestic, Madsen served as DeMarco's ''de facto'' second-in-command; he and DeMarco were also particularly close friends. As a Spartan, he strives to salvage his previously unremarkable military career and secure his legacy despite being admitted to the program purely on the basis of nepotism.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}} He has a sense of humor even in combat, commenting on how "unfair" it was that Prometheans could teleport wherever they wished and jokingly complained about how he got a map off Gek's dead body while DeMarco and Thorne got an energy sword and cloaking device respectively. However, Madsen possesses a serious and even vengeful side as well, lashing out against his newly appointed team leader Thorne in a training exercise in a fit of rage over DeMarco's death and knocking out Clayton personally due to him organizing the attack that claimed his close friend's life. He also was disrespectful of Thorne to some extent after the latter was appointed as team leader, although this may have been due to grieving over DeMarco's death. Madsen did later invite Thorne to a poker game in competition to win Gek 'Lhar's energy sword that DeMarco had taken from him on Requiem. He also tends to discuss with his Spartan partner Tedra Grant. | ||
