However Ray was able to overpower her foe and re-established communications with the ''Infinity''. After receiving notification from [[Roland]] that the ''Infinity'' was re-routing to Ven III, Ray found a [[Type-46 Spectre|Spectre]] and made her way towards the pirates' base. Upon finding Thorne she ambushed the unidentified Sangheili and his Kig-Yar allies. Ray attempted to hold the Sangheili agent till the rescue convey arrived but the agent made a run for it. Despite wanting to stay behind to protect Thorne, he ordered Ray to pursue the agent. Ray contacted Palmer and relayed Thorne's location to her. However Palmer stated that the bioweapon was a higher priority and was going to redirect Fireteam Majestic to her location. Upon hearing this Ray shut off her locator and continued to pursue the Sangheili agent. Ray commandeered a [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghost]] and a chase ensued between her and the agent. After a short chase Ray managed to disable the agent's Ghost outside the base. Cornering the Sangheili, Ray ordered him to surrender the bioweapon over to her. However before he could a [[Sahara-class heavy prowler|prowler]] landed and several [[ONI]] agents approached Ray, ordering her to stand down. They handed her a report from [[Admiral]] [[Serin Osman]] instructing them to detain the Sangheili and recover the bioweapon. The agents then lead the Sangheili back to the prowler. Upon returning to ''Infinity'' Ray resided over Thorne while he recovered from his wounds. Lasky told Commander Palmer not to be angry towards Ray for her actions during the mission due to the circumstances, as it resulted in Majestic reaching Thorne in time before he was buried alive.{{Ref/Reuse|HE12}}

When [[Catherine Halsey|Doctor Catherine Halsey]] and [[Jul 'Mdama]] managed to trap ''Infinity'' in the uncharted [[Aktis system]] by blocking the ship's engines, Lasky deployed Ray, Palmer, and Majestic to [[Aktis IV]] to find the source of interference. Upon landing on the planet, the Spartans discovered a small group of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]] forces guarding a recently uncovered [[Forerunner]] structure. The Spartans quickly eliminated the Covenant forces, with Ray using an [[M363 sticky detonator]] to kill two Kig-Yar and destroy a [[Type-26 Wraith]]. Doctor [[Henry Glassman]] was then brought to the surface of the planet to investigate the structure, escorted by the Spartans.<ref name="HE14">''Halo: Escalation'', [[Halo: Escalation Issue 14|Issue #14]]</ref> Glassman requested to have the UNSC's half of the Janus Key transported to the planet in order to analyze an artifact in the structure. His request was granted but the UNSC craft carrying the Key were shot out of the sky by [[Sali 'Nyon]]'s artillery. Shortly after, Covenant forces attacked the UNSC task force, pinning them at the Forerunner structure.{{Ref/Reuse|HE14}}
