As the ex-Covenant mercenaries distracted the envoy's bodyguards, Scruggs killed Spartan [[Fireteam Jackknife]] and the Jiralhanae and Sangheili warriors accompanying him. After informing Clayton of the act he informed [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Palmer]] that the area was secure. Scruggs then took [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] hostage. Though he did not compromise his employer, Scruggs tried to convince Palmer that he knew of secretive machinations behind the UNSC and the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]]'s inability to make peace with his enemies. Palmer killed her turncoat comrade before he could reveal anything further. Following the battle Fleet Admiral Hood and [[Thomas Lasky|Captain Lasky]] of ''Infinity'' discussed that Scruggs could not have been the informant who led 'Gajat to Ealen IV; they realized that the security breach involved someone with much greater security clearance.<ref name="Ealen IV"/>

After their failed assault on Ealen IV, 'Gajat and Captain Clayton lured Admiral Hood and the UNSC ''Infinity'' into a trap. They launched a freighter, the ''[[Pilgrims Pride]]'', which sent out a distress signal that was later picked up by ''Infinity''. When ''Infinity'' arrived in the [[Artesia-702 system]], it found the damaged freighter leaking atomic matter with faint life signs aboard and tugged the ship into one of its deployment bays. An ambush was sprung within the bay when the freighter set itself to self-destruct and multiple UNSC aircraft exited its cargo bay. The attack was repelled and ''Infinity'' later discovered the assault crafts used were from the ''{{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}''.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #4''</ref> ''Infinity'' tracked the freighter's origin to [[Oth Lodon]] where it found a [[Oth Lodon station|Covenant space station]] operated by NCA forces. Captain Clayton revealed himself and his motives to Lord Hood and fired on ''Infinity'' with the station's [[energy projector]].<ref name="Escalation #5"/>

After firing several times the cannon overheated, forcing Clayton and the others to wait to bring it back online. The station then detected several [[OF92 Booster Frame]]s and he ordered the station's smaller arms online. He asked 'Gajat to keep ''Infinity'' busy until they brought the cannon back online. 'Gajat however, questioning Clayton's vision, decided destroying the ship would get his faction more notability than working for Clayton. Five [[Spartan-IV]]s boarded the station and seized control of it, ordering everyone to freeze. Clayton told them not to listen, asking the Spartans if they knew who he was.

Clayton and the others were captured and brought aboard ''Infinity'', and Clayton was transferred to [[Midnight Facility]].<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #6''</ref>
