With the base air defenses offline, Thorne quickly hijacked a low-flying [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshee]] and destroyed a nearby [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantom dropship]], allowing the Fireteam to return to the ''Infinity''. As the device was being examined by Dr. Halsey and Roland, the matrix gave off an energy burst, it sent images of New Phoenix throughout the monitors within the room, which Thorne quickly recognized. He noticed that the translocation artifact appeared in one of the images; curious, he left the laboratory and later approached the artifact. Wondering how the artifact could have been present at New Phoenix prior to its discovery, Thorne touched it and was unexpectedly translocated to a Forerunner structure in [[the Cauldron]], where he was immediately surrounded by [[Sangheili Storm]] forces.{{Ref/Reuse|mori}} Thorne put up a fight, managing to kill most of the Sangheili before being knocked unconscious. Coming to, he pretended to stay unconscious as the Covenant forces led him to their base at the [[Vale Citadel]]. After arriving, Dr. [[Henry Glassman]] — who had escaped at the time — arrived at the front entrance. Thorne chose then to get up and kill his two Sangheili captors. When [[Gek 'Lhar]] remotely activated Glassman's [[Unidentified Covenant explosives vest|plasma charge-rigged vest]], Thorne quickly disposed of it and the two [[Escape from Librarian's Rest|fled]].<ref name="scattered">''Spartan Ops'', [[Scattered|S106 Scattered]]</ref> | ||
Gek quickly picked up their trail and pursued them. Some time later, Gek ambushed the pair as they were resting. Thorne quickly disarmed Gek of his [[Type-1 energy sword]] and engaged him in a close-quarters brawl. Gek, however, managed to gain the upper hand from Thorne after smashing a large rock over his chest and head. Just before Gek could kill Thorne, the rest of Fireteam Majestic arrived. DeMarco shot the Elite dead, saving Thorne's life. Afterwards, Thorne searched the dead Sangheili for anything significant, giving DeMarco the energy sword in gratitude, as well as Gek's personal collection of UNSC [[dog tag]]s. Thorne also took Gek's personal [[Type-3 active camouflage]] module for himself, while Madsen only found a map of Requiem.<ref name="expendable">''Spartan Ops'', [[Expendable|S108 Expendable]]</ref> Later, with Thorne's help, Glassman had Crimson head to certain locations to ensure the map was accurate.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Expendable/Glassman|S108 Glassman]]</ref> | Gek quickly picked up their trail and pursued them.

During the battle Thorne was ambushed by a [[Promethean Knight]] but he was saved by Commander Palmer. With the Prometheans' presence, Palmer ordered all UNSC forces to search and find Jul 'Mdama. After [[Joel Thomas]] ordered an airstrike on two {{Pattern|Ru'swum|Phantom}}s near Palmer's position, Palmer ordered Thorne to get to an [[M12 Chaingun Warthog]] and pursue the Phantoms, but they were ambushed and pursued by [[Promethean Crawlers]]. They dispatched several of the Crawlers and Palmer jumped out of a cliff, directly above the Phantoms. The Warthog landed on the ground, injuring Thorne, and the Phantoms prepared to shoot their [[heavy plasma cannon]]s at them. However, a [[GA-TL1 Longsword]] appeared, destroying both Phantoms, and saving Palmer's and Thorne's lives. Thorne returned to ''Infinity'' after the UNSC won the battle.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 13|Issue #13]]''</ref> | ||
After ''Infinity'' was stranded in an uncharted system, Thorne and Fireteam Majestic, led by Commander Palmer, were deployed to the planet [[Aktis IV]] to investigate a mysterious signal. After eliminating a small group of Covenant forces, they discovered a Forerunner structure and provided protection for [[Henry Glassman|Dr. Glassman]] as he arrived to investigate the site. Several hours later, Thorne was charged by Palmer with transporting the science equipment from an incoming [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] to the Forerunner structure. However, the Pelican was shot down by [[Sali 'Nyon]]'s [[Sali 'Nyon's Covenant|forces]], triggering a massive Covenant ambush which soon forced Thorne and the other Spartans to retreat into the Forerunner facility.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 14|Issue #14]]''</ref> | After ''Infinity'' was stranded in an uncharted system, Thorne and Fireteam Majestic, led by Commander Palmer, were deployed to the planet [[Aktis IV]] to investigate a mysterious signal.
