Sometime during the operation in recovering the "[[Didact's Gift]]" from [[Galileo Base]], Majestic was [[Battle of Galileo Base|pinned down]] due to [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] air support.

With the base's anti-air defenses offline, Thorne quickly hijacked a low-flying [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshee]] and subsequently destroyed a nearby [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantom]], allowing the Fireteam to complete their objective. Back aboard the ''Infinity'', Thorne and DeMarco provided security for the artifact as Dr. Halsey and [[Roland]] examined it. The device released an energy burst shortly after revealing itself, and began to display images on the room's monitors; these were then identified as human memories harvested by the Composer during the Didact's [[New Phoenix Incident|attack]] on [[New Phoenix]], [[URNA]] six months prior. Thorne left the room straight after discovering the Forerunner artifact Crimson had recovered on one of the monitors. Curious as to how the device had images of New Phoenix, Thorne investigated the Requiem artifact himself. After coming into physical contact with it, he activated it, and was sent to Requiem.<ref name="hand">'''Spartan Ops''', [[Memento Mori|S105 Memento Mori]]</ref> He was transported to "[[the Cauldron]]" which was held by 'Mdama's Covenant, where several [[Sangheili Storm|Sangheili]] warriors surrounded him. After a short fight, Thorne managed to kill a few before being knocked unconscious. He was then dragged away to be held as prisoner. | ||
Thorne later regained consciousness and [[Escape from Librarian's Rest|escaped]] his captors with [[Henry Glassman]]—who had escaped prior to his arrival. They both fled the area in a hurry after killing their initial pursuers. [[Gek 'Lhar]], however, quickly picked up their trail and pursued them himself. Some time later, Gek ambushed the pair as they were resting. After a brief skirmish, Gek garnered the upper-hand from Thorne, who he was about to kill, until the rest of Fireteam Majestic arrived. He was shot dead by DeMarco, saving Thorne's life. Thorne searched the dead Elite for anything significant, giving DeMarco the [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]] as gratitude for saving his life. DeMarco also collected Gek's personal collection of UNSC [[dog tag]]s, commenting that some of them belonged to [[Spartan]]s. Thorne took Gek's [[active camouflage]] module for himself, which prompted Madsen to find anything valuable for himself. He picked up a small device and activated it, revealing a map of Requiem, much to his displeasure.<ref name="s1e8">''Spartan Ops'', [[Expendable|S108 Expendable]]</ref> | Thorne later regained consciousness and [[Escape from Librarian's Rest|escaped]] his captors with [[Henry Glassman]]—who had escaped prior to his arrival.

Thorne walked in to discover that the rest of the team had made wagers on DeMarco's [[keepsake]], the looted energy sword recovered from [[Gek 'Lhar]] during the Requiem Campaign. Days ago, Grant had won DeMarco's sword in a card game against Spartan Jones of Fireteam Bailey, only to suddenly lose it to Hoya. Thorne expressed that the weapon was a tribute to DeMarco for having saved his life, and requested to join in and take a shot at playing for it. Hola yielded to his request when the rest of team agreed they all deserved an equal chance. After being rebuked for almost sitting down in DeMarco's seat, Thorne pulled up a chair and joined the others around the table. When Roland began to start a new game of Hold 'em poker, Thorne stopped him and replaced the virtual [[holotank]] cards with his own inherited deck of physical playing cards. As Hoya dealt the deck and revealed the community cards, Roland suddenly alerted the team to an emergency distress call. Before the Spartans left their interrupted game, Thorne unveiled his winning hand, a quad of kings, and claimed the sword of his fallen friend. As the Spartans geared up for deployment, Hoya asked how Thorne found out about their game, at which point Madsen revealed he invited their fellow comrade and leader. | ||
