Meanwhile, as Dr. Halsey sat in the brig of the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, Roland appeared and asked why she attempted to communicate with an unknown intelligence about classified material. After a brief interchange, Halsey used the passphrase override "undid iridium" to gain control of the AI and then use him to move unsuspected to the captain's ready room. Once there she perused all the material she could find for information on the Librarian and Jul 'Mdama, also discovering that [[John-117]] was still alive and had survived the [[Battle of Installation 00|destruction]] of [[Installation 00]]. She then used the terminal to communicate with Jul 'Mdama. She offered her assistance in exchange for what they both wanted: the Librarian's secrets. At that moment, though, Roland regained control of his confused matrices, pulled the plug, and immediately alerted Lasky. Just as the captain was about to have Halsey interred in a [[cryo chamber|cryo tube]], alarms sounded across the ship: the Prometheans had gained access to the ''Infinity'' and taken all hands by surprise. Most Spartan and Marine fireteams were deployed on Requiem and the Prometheans quickly overran most of the ship. All UNSC assets were recalled to the ship, but at that moment the rest of 'Mdama's Covenant fleet arrived, composed primarily of {{ | Meanwhile, as Dr. Halsey sat in the brig of the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, Roland appeared and asked why she attempted to communicate with an unknown intelligence about classified material.

At this point, Fireteam Crimson reached the battle, still in the captured Phantom. ''Infinity's'' automated point-defense turrets could not differentiate between the thousands of incoming enemy spacecraft and Crimson was hit. Lieutenant Murphy barely guided the out-of-control dropship into one of ''Infinity's'' hangars, the bay's vacuum shields decelerating the dropship enough to allow all of its passengers to survive. Fireteam Crimson promptly went to work, clearing the hangar. However, interference from the artifact prevented Roland from closing the bay doors so Crimson was forced to power cycle the Server Room and reboot the ship-wide data link before the hanger bay could be fully secured. At that moment though, teams on board made two discoveries: Jul 'Mdama's Covenant had internally disabled the all port defenses, leaving ''Infinity'' open to attacks from 'Mdama's Covenant fleet, and that 'Mdama's Covenant had stolen UNSC [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]]s and had armed the warheads in the Server Room and the Engine Room. Despite 'Mdama's Covenant protecting the warheads with [[active camouflage]], Fireteam Crimson, managed to disarm all [[seven]] and secure both rooms. With the nukes disarmed and back in UNSC control, Crimson reactivated the ship's port defenses, which promptly destroyed all adjacent ships, including at least one light cruiser. The remainder of 'Mdama's Covenant fleet fled as the UNSC regrouped and repelled the remaining boarders.{{Ref/Reuse|SO7}} But the ''Infinity'' was not safe yet. As Lasky escorted Halsey to the bridge, it was brought to his attention that ''Infinity'' was unable to move from its current spot because it was trapped by [[interdiction web|a sort of Slipspace anchor]]. As he turned his back, a Promethean Knight appeared, knocked Commander Palmer to the deck, grabbed Dr. Halsey, and disappeared again.<ref name="SO8">''Spartan Ops'', [[Expendable|S108 Expendable]]</ref> | At this point, Fireteam Crimson reached the battle, still in the captured Phantom.
