[[Jul 'Mdama]] was left pleased with Doctor [[Henry Glassman]] having apparently awoken the [[Librarian]], though Glassman admitted that he wasn't sure exactly what he had done. Noticing that all of the gathered [[Sangheili]] were bowing to the shrine aside from Jul, Glassman took the opportunity to escape through the hallways, removing his collar as he went. However, when Jul attempted to approach the shrine, he was repulsed by the energy shield that Glassman had inadvertently activated. Jul was left enraged, believing that Glassman had purposefully deceived him and upon finding Glassman gone, sent his Sangheili after the scientist. Jul also warned [[Gek 'Lhar]] that his escape was unacceptable and Gek promised to deal with it personally. | [[Jul 'Mdama]] was left pleased with Doctor [[Henry Glassman]] having apparently awoken the [[Librarian]], though Glassman admitted that he wasn't sure exactly what he had done.

At the same time, [[Spartan-IV|Spartan]] [[Gabriel Thorne]] was dragged to through "[[Sniper Alley]]" to the entrance to "[[Librarian's Rest]]" based on Jul's orders that anyone who came through [[Requiem slipspace artifacts|the artifact]] be brought to him.

As Thorne regrouped with Glassman, the scientist, attempting to catch his breath, managed to warn Thorne of the large group of approaching Sangheili. Having found Glassman's discarded collar, Gek chose to activate [[Unidentified Covenant explosives vest|the explosives vest]] he had previously attached to Glassman to control the scientist. Spotting the vest activating, Thorne quickly removed it and flung it at the Sangheili before fleeing with Glassman. Gek detonated the vest, inadvertently killing his own men but preventing them from pursuing Glassman and Thorne further. Enraged at the carnage Thorne wrought, Gek pursued the two fleeing humans. | As Thorne regrouped with Glassman, the scientist, attempting to catch his breath, managed to warn Thorne of the large group of approaching Sangheili.

[[Gabriel Thorne]] and [[Henry Glassman]] eventually made their way into the canyons near the "[[Quarry]]" where Glassman had to rest due to exhaustion. As his armor lacked comm gear at the moment, Thorne explained that their objective was to reach [[Galileo Base]] a couple of klicks away which would take only a couple of more hours. | [[Gabriel Thorne]] and [[Henry Glassman]] eventually made their way into the canyons near the "[[Quarry]]" where Glassman had to rest due to exhaustion.

Thorne managed to disarm Gek of his [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]] and the two fought hand-to-hand with Thorne holding his own at first. However, Gek eventually recovered and slammed a large rock onto Thorne, stunning him. Glassman attempted to reach Gek's energy sword first, but Gek stepped on and broke his arm in retaliation. Grabbing his energy sword, Gek prepared to impale Thorne, but was shot from behind by [[Paul DeMarco]] with his [[BR85HB battle rifle|battle rifle]], killing him.<ref name="Expendable">''Spartan Ops'', [[Expendable|S108 Expendable]]</ref> | ||

In the aftermath of [[Gek 'Lhar]]'s death, [[Gabriel Thorne]] was reunited with [[Fireteam Majestic]] who had finally located him in time to save Thorne's life. Raiding Gek's body, Thorne retrieved Gek's [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]] which he gave to [[Paul DeMarco]] as a thank you gift for saving his life.
