===Requiem Campaign===
Sometime before [[2558]], Fireteam Majestic, minus [[Gabriel Thorne]], were deployed to [[Rio de Janeiro]]. In [[2558|February 2558]], Majestic was deployed to Requiem. On February 7, Commander [[Sarah Palmer]] assigned the squad to a mission in the sector Req-931-B.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ql0SxKSZ9c '''YouTube -''' ''GameSpot: Halo 4 Limited Edition Unboxing'']</ref> Sometime later, Fireteams [[Fireteam Crimson|Crimson]] and Majestic were sent north of the UNSC's area of operations on Requiem in order to shut down Forerunner power generators. Upon reaching their location, both Crimson and Majestic had their long-range communications jammed by Forerunner jamming devices. After deactivating the jammers, their mission continued. Initiated by Palmer, the mission became a competition for the fireteams to see who could complete their mission objectives first. Majestic took the lead at first, but were ultimately bested by Crimson.<ref>'''Halo 4''', ''Spartan Ops'', ''[[The Challenge]]''</ref>

Sometime before [[2558#February|February 2558]], Fireteam Majestic, minus [[Gabriel Thorne]], were deployed to [[Rio de Janeiro]] where they prevented a [[Sangheili]] [[terrorism|terrorist]] attack on the city with a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]].{{Ref/Reuse|s1e1}}
 
On February 7, upon the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s arrival at [[Requiem]], Commander [[Sarah Palmer]] assigned the squad to [[Operation: LAND GRAB]] and [[Operation: ALL-SEEING EYE]], both geared toward securing locations for research bases.<ref name="briefing">'''[[Halo 4 Limited Edition]]''', [[Infinity Briefing Packet|''UNSC ''Infinity'' briefing packet'']] - ''Mission Briefing'' (variable between owners)</ref> Two days later, Fireteams [[Fireteam Crimson|Crimson]] and Majestic were sent north of the UNSC's area of operations on Requiem in order to shut down Forerunner power generators as part of [[Operation: CHATTERBOX]].{{Ref/Reuse|briefing}} Upon reaching their location, both Crimson and Majestic had their long-range communications jammed by Forerunner jamming devices. After deactivating the jammers, their mission continued. Initiated by Palmer, the mission became a competition for the fireteams to see who could complete their mission objectives first. Majestic took the lead at first, but were ultimately bested by Crimson.{{Ref/Reuse|s1e1}}
 
On February 10, Majestic and Crimson were deployed by Commander Palmer to assault a outpost controlled by [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] and recover [[Requiem slipspace artifacts|a Forerunner artifact]] as part of [[Operation: ACADEMIC]]. The next day, Majestic partook in [[Operation: THREE-CARD MONTE]]: with support by [[Fireteam Tower|Tower]], [[Fireteam Castle|Castle]] and [[Fireteam Domino|Domino]] Teams, they were tasked with a search-and-destroy mission against 'Mdama's Covenant outposts at locations REQ-822-A, REQ-822-B, REQ-822-C, and REQ-822-D.{{Ref/Reuse|briefing}}
[[File:Majestic - 3.png|thumb|left|250px|Majestic recovering the "Didact's Gift" from Galileo Base.]]
During a ground engagement on Requiem, Fireteam Majestic was being engaged by multiple [[Promethean Crawler]]s. Madsen started to complain about their ability to "pop up" anywhere, when a [[Promethean Knight]] teleported into the area. Thorne tried to warn Madsen, but he was shot in the shoulder, as more Knights entered the area. Hoya suddenly broke cover and charged at the Knights. While DeMarco yelled for him to get back into cover, he killed several before one managed to injure him. Nevertheless, Majestic managed to defeat the Knights and return back to the ''Infinity''. Commander Palmer met them in the hangar to see how they had done.<ref name="Ep2">''Spartan Ops'', [[Artifact (Spartan Ops)|S102 Artifact]]</ref>
 
Madsen and DeMarco were later assigned to guard [[Catherine Halsey]] along with [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Sarah Palmer]] upon her return to the ''Infinity''. Later, Thorne volunteered to guard her during her research.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Catherine|S1E3 ''Catherine'']]</ref> During the UNSC's pursuit of [[Jul 'Mdama]], Fireteams [[Fireteam Crimson|Crimson]] and Majestic were sent to two possible locations to search for him. Majestic engaged a large force from 'Mdama's faction and managed to corner them before the survivors mysteriously disappeared. Grant would soon figure out that they used [[Slipspace translocation]] to escape, which allowed Crimson to find a way to pursue 'Mdama.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Didact's Hand|S104 Didact's Hand]]</ref>
[[File:Majestic - 4.jpg|thumb|250px|Fireteam Majestic, with Thorne in the foreground.]]
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>
[[File:Third artifact deactivated.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Majestic deactivating the third Forerunner artifact.]]
Later, they were attacked by 'Mdama's Covenant forces. DeMarco radioed in for reinforcements and [[Fireteam Crimson]] was sent to aid them.{{Ref/Reuse|s1e8}} After Crimson destroyed Jul 'Mdama's Covenant artillery, Palmer told them they owed Crimson a round when they got back.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Expendable/Majestic Rescue|S108 Majestic Rescue]]</ref> When the Pelican arrived for evac, they were met by a life-size hologram of Captain [[Thomas Lasky]], he asked them to rescue Dr. Halsey from [[Jul 'Mdama]]. When they arrived at Halsey's location Thorne turned on his active camo and snuck around the Elite guards. When they noticed him, he de-cloaked and signaled the rest of Majestic to attack, DeMarco charged in with his energy sword, while Hoya, Grant, and Madsen attacked from above. DeMarco told Thorne to go inside and rescue Dr. Halsey while they handled the guards. Thorne arrived shortly after Dr. Halsey exited the "shrine", while cloaked he killed one of Jul's guards and deactivated the camo, quickly killing another of Jul's guards. Dr. Halsey threw Thorne half of the [[Janus Key]], as he looked at it a third Elite ran up behind Thorne but was killed by [[Sarah Palmer]], who had arrived to kill Dr. Halsey. 'Mdama then yelled for his [[Promethean Knights]] and several [[slipspace translocation|translocated]] into the area. The rest of Majestic showed up just as they arrived and engaged them. Jul was forced to retreat into a corner with Halsey, however just as Thorne and Palmer closed in on him another Knight translocated in behind 'Mdama, grabbed him, and teleported out of the area. Palmer asked why Majestic was there and they told her they were ordered to rescue her.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Key|S109 Key]]</ref>
 
Sometime later, along with Commander Palmer, they were ordered to deactivate one of the two [[Requiem slipspace artifacts|slipspace artifacts]] still on Requiem, while Crimson deactivated the other. Before they left they witnessed the departure of the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|'Mdama's fleet]]. When Requiem began to move towards the local star Palmer hurried them toward the artifact.<ref name="Exodus">''Spartan Ops'', [[Exodus (Spartan Ops)|S1010 Exodus]]</ref> Shortly after Crimson deactivated their artifact, Majestic eliminated the last of the Elites defending the last artifact and deactivated it. They evacuated and arrived aboard ''Infinity'' at the same time as Crimson, allowing ''Infinity'' to escape just in time.{{Ref/Reuse|Exodus}}
 
===Battle of Ealen IV===
{{Main|Battle of Ealen IV}}
Sometime after the Requiem Campaign, DeMarco was transferred to Fireteam Bailey by Palmer so Thorne could be put in command of Majestic.<ref name="HE4">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #4''</ref> On March 5, 2558, Paul DeMarco along with the rest of [[Fireteam Bailey]] accompanied [[Fireteam Jackknife]] as the security detail of [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] and [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] on a diplomatic mission to [[Ealen IV]]. The rest of Majestic were not present during the mission.<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''Issue #1''</ref> At the battle's climax, DeMarco was forced to stay behind in order to secure the lives of Lord Hood, the Arbiter, and Lydus. He and the rest of Fireteam Bailey's sacrifices would be commemorated at a memorial service aboard Infinity.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #3''</ref>
 
===Poker Night===
On March 11, six days after DeMarco's death, Roland and Majestic, sans Thorne,  were in the middle of a [[poker]] game night. 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.
 
===Freighter ambush===
[[File:Thorne and the other Fireteams boarding the Pilgrim's Pride.png|250px|thumb|Fireteams Majestic, Colossus, and Fenrir boarding the ''Pilgrims' Pride''.]]
The distress call, it turned out, originated in the [[Artesia-702 system]] and was coming from the damaged [[freighter]] ''[[Pilgrims' Pride]]''. Majestic was permitted to return to being at ease, since it was judged to be of no immediate danger. However, upon arriving at the freighter's location, a trap was sprung for the ''Infinity''. Fireteams Majestic, [[Fireteam Colossus|Colossus]], and [[Fireteam Fenrir|Fenrir]] were soon deployed  to repel the attack and prevent the freighter from self-destructing on the ''Infinity''. Leading the fireteams, Thorne ordered teams Colossus and Fenrir to secure the ship while Majestic made their way to the core. As the Spartans advanced through the freighter, they encountered [[M202 XP machine gun|automated defense turrets]]. With the enemy going into retreat, the freighter was tugged out into space, where Grant ejected the ship's core before it exploded. The Spartans survived the detonation and requested pickup.{{Ref/Reuse|HE4}}
 
===Search for the ''Spirit of Fire''===
{{Main|Ambush at Oth Lodon}}
Following the attack, ''Infinity'' learned that the assault crafts from the freighter belonged to the long-lost {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. Roland discovered that the freighter was launched near [[Oth Lodon]], a gas giant located deep in Jiralhanae space. With the Spirit's possible location found, Lord Hood authorized Commander Palmer to conduct a search and rescue mission. Equipped with [[OF92 Booster Frame]]s, Fireteam Majestic and Palmer scouted the planet's system. Exploring the system's asteroid field, the Spartans came across not the ''Spirit of Fire'' but instead a [[Oth Lodon station|Covenant remnant station]] under control by [[New Colonial Alliance]] insurgents.<ref name="HE5">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #5''</ref> When the UNSC defector, Captain [[Daniel Clayton]], fired on ''Infinity'', the Spartans quickly boarded the station and secured the bridge. Madsen knocked Clayton out and the Spartans utilized the station's cannon to destroy [[Vata 'Gajat]]'s flagship just as it was preparing to attack ''Infinity''.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #6''</ref>

===Bioweapon plot===
{{Main|Operation: WHISTLE STOP}}
[[File:HE12 Palmer Brief.jpg|250px|thumb|Majestic is briefed about the mission.]]
Sometime after the Ambush at Oth Lodon Spartan [[Naiya Ray]] was transferred to Fireteam Majestic.<ref name="HE12">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 12|Issue #12]]''</ref> On [[2558#May|May 9, 2558]], Ray and Thorne were assigned, separately from the rest of Majestic, on a secret mission to capture [[Ayit 'Sevi|a Sangheili]] in possession of a mysterious [[bioweapon]] on [[Ven III]]. After communications with both Spartans were lost,<ref name="HE11">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 11|Issue #11]]''</ref> Captain Lasky ordered ''Infinity'' to head toward Ven III while Fireteam Majestic was deployed on the planet, with Commander Palmer assuming tactical command in the absence of Thorne. Upon arriving at the [[pirate]]s' base, Majestic and Palmer took out several Kig-Yar pirates. After receiving notification of Thorne's location by Ray, Palmer was going to redirect Majestic to Ray to help her retrieve the bioweapon but Ray shut off her locater to force them to rescue Thorne instead. Majestic eventually found Thorne and returned him to the ''Infinity''.{{Ref/Reuse|HE12}}
 
===Janus Key conflict===
{{Main|Battle of Oban|Battle of Aktis IV}}
On [[2558#July|July 16, 2558]], Commander Palmer and Thorne were deployed on the colony of [[Oban]] against Jul 'Mdama's forces. Desperate to find Jul, Palmer and Thorne drove a Warthog and engaged Promethean forces. Palmer recklessly drove the Warthog off of a cliff, landed on a [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] [[dropship]], and crashed to the ground. Thorne was injured in the process and the Spartans were only saved after the Phantoms were destroyed by a [[GA-TL1 Longsword]] called in by Spartan [[Joel Thomas]]. After a short engagement, Jul 'Mdama's Covenant forces withdrew from the system.<ref name="HE13">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 13|Issue #13]]''</ref>


[[File:HE14 Attack.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Majestic and Palmer attack Jul's forces.]]
[[File:Majestic - 2.png|thumb|left|250px|Majestic recovering the "Didact's Gift" from Galileo Base.]]
On July 18, upon attempting to make a slipspace jump out of the Oban system, ''Infinity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s engines ceased functioning properly and the ship became stranded in space.{{Ref/Reuse|HE13}} Palmer assumed tactical command of a ground team consisting of Fireteam Majestic and several other Spartans for a mission to investigate a potential source of interference emanating from the surface of a nearby planet, provisionally designated [[Aktis IV]]. Upon landing on an island on the planet, Commander Palmer and Majestic engaged and defeated a detachment of 'Mdama's Covenant forces and subsequently discovered a recently-excavated Forerunner structure. The Spartans provided cover for [[Henry Glassman|Dr. Glassman]] as he arrived on Aktis IV to examine the structure. At Glassman's request, the UNSC brought their half of the Janus Key to the planet, but the artifact was stolen by the [[Covenant remnant]] rebel [[Sali 'Nyon]]. A massive ambush from 'Mdama's Covenant was subsequently triggered and the Spartans were forced to fall back inside the Forerunner structure.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 14|Issue #14]]''</ref>
Sometime later, Fireteam Majestic was being engaged by multiple [[Promethean Crawler]]s. Madsen started to complain about their ability to "pop up" anywhere, when a [[Promethean Knight]] teleported into the area. Thorne tried to warn Madsen, but he was shot in the shoulder, as more Knights entered the area. Hoya suddenly broke cover and charged at the Knights. While DeMarco yelled for him to get back into cover, he killed several before one managed to injure him. Nevertheless, Majestic managed to defeat the Knights and return back to the ''Infinity''. Commander Palmer met them in the hangar to see how they had done.<ref name="Ep2">'''Halo 4''', ''Spartan Ops'', ''[[S1/Artifact|Episode 2]]''</ref>


The Spartans and Glassman remained under attack by Jul 'Mdama's Covenant forces inside the structure for over seven hours and were unable to establish contact with ''Infinity''. While they retreated inside the facility, Hoya was left behind outside. Fending off 'Mdama's Covenant and Promethean forces in the jungle, Hoya spotted Dr. Halsey aboard a Phantom. He contacted Ray about his discovery, who, in turn, informed Palmer. Glassman managed to get the structure's [[teleportation grid]] operational before 'Mdama's Covenant breached the structure. At Palmer's request, Glassman opened portals to both the jungle and the other end of the island. Palmer, intending to hunt down Halsey, took the former portal with Ray and Thorne, while ordering Grant, Glassman and the rest of the Spartans to take the latter. Grant's team arrived in the midst of a skirmish between 'Mdama's Covenant and two [[Mantis]]es ''Infinity'' had deployed as reinforcements and were nearly killed by friendly fire.<ref name="HE15">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 15|Issue #15]]''</ref>
Madsen and Demarco were later assigned to guard [[Catherine Halsey]] along with [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Sarah Palmer]] upon her return to the ''Infinity''. Later, Thorne volunteered to guard her during her research.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Catherine|S1E3 ''Catherine'']]</ref> During the UNSC's pursuit of [[Jul 'Mdama]], Fireteams [[Fireteam Crimson|Crimson]] and Majestic were sent to two possible locations to search for him.

Grant would soon figure out that they used [[Slipspace translocation]] to escape, which allowed Crimson to find a way to pursue 'Mdama.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Didact's Hand|S1E4 ''Didact's Hand'']]</ref>


After traveling through the portal to the jungle, Palmer, Ray and Thorne spotted a [[Unidentified Sangheili Minor (Aktis IV)|Sangheili defector]] who offered Sali 'Nyon's half of the Janus Key to Jul 'Mdama.{{Ref/Reuse|HE15}} At Palmer's orders, the trio waited until Halsey arrived to claim the artifact and ambushed the doctor and her escort once 'Mdama rerouted most of the convoy elsewhere. With Halsey escaping into the jungle, Palmer left Ray and Thorne to fend off Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and pursued the doctor. Palmer captured Halsey but the latter managed to escape while Palmer was incapacitated. With the battle concluded in 'Mdama's victory, the Spartans of Fireteam Majestic returned to ''Infinity''.<ref name="HE16">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 16|Issue #16]]''</ref>
Sometime during the operation in recovering the "[[Didact's Gift]]" from [[Galileo Base]], Majestic was pinned down due to [[Covenant]] air support. With the base air defenses offline, Thorne quickly hijacked a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] and destroyed a nearby [[Type-44 Troop Carrier|Phantom]], allowing the Fireteam to return to the ''Infinity''.<ref name="hand">'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Memento Mori|S1E5 ''Memento Mori'']]</ref>
