Henry Glassman: Difference between revisions

Five months after the Requiem Campaign, Glassman continued his inspection of the Janus Key. On July 18, he was visited by Commander Palmer as ''Infinity'' jumped to a potential site suitable for establishing UNSC research base [[Galileo II]]. As they discussed about the artifacts found on Requiem, ''Infinity'' suddenly reappeared in [[Aktis system|an uncharted system]]. When the ship jumped to slipspace again, it only reappeared a quarter of a kilometer of her last position. Captain Lasky ordered him and Palmer to go to ''Infinity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s engine room. There Glassman discovered the ship's slipspace drive was overriding coordinates and defaulting back to ones in their local position, stranding the ship in a "Slipspace Cul-de-sac". Roland then informed them of an unusual energy reading coming from a nearby planet—[[Aktis IV]]. Glassman and Lasky theorized that it could be the source of the problem. Palmer led Fireteam Majestic to the planet's surface to investigate the issue.<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 13|Issue #13]]''</ref>

After the Spartans discovered a Forerunner structure, Glassman traveled to the surface of the planet to meet with Fireteam Majestic and Palmer to examine the structure. Glassman theorized that the structure is part of a [[teleportation grid|translocation grid]], and he soon discovered a Forerunner artifact. Glassman realized that the artifact had indentations the shape of the halves of the Janus Key and believed that the Key belonged in the artifact. Unbeknownst to the UNSC, 'Mdama and Halsey were monitoring Glassman and had created the decoy artifact in an attempt to steal the UNSC's half of the Janus Key. Glassman requested to have lab equipment brought to the Forerunner site, along with the Janus Key half, for further analyzing. However, as a [[D79-TC Pelican]] delivered the equipment and Key to the planet's surface, the [[dropship]] and its [[F-41 Broadsword|Broadsword]] escort were shot down by [[Sali 'Nyon]]'s [[Sali 'Nyon's Covenant faction|forces]], a rogue splinter group of Jul 'Mdama's Covenant.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 14|Issue #14]]''</ref>
