By December 18, Fireteam Taurus has rendezvoused with other UNSC forces at the wreckage of {{UNSCShip|Mortal Reverie}}, which had been found by Spartan [[Vedrana Makovich]] and designated as a UNSC base of operations.{{Ref/Game|Id=hafh|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Reverie 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Reverie #01 - Home Away From Home}} Griffin | By December 18, Fireteam Taurus has rendezvoused with other UNSC forces at the wreckage of {{UNSCShip|Mortal Reverie}}, which had been found by Spartan [[Vedrana Makovich]] and designated as a UNSC base of operations.{{Ref/Game|Id=hafh|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Reverie 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Reverie #01 - Home Away From Home}} Griffin became the ''de facto'' leader of the UNSC forces gathered at the crash site, from which the survivors conducted guerilla warfare against the Banished. On January 20, [[2560]], Kovan conducted a recon sweep deep inside Banished-occupied territory. She observed that Banished forces were only unified under Escharum, with internal competition among its members. She reported her findings to Griffin, and suggested that an attempt on Banished [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]]'s life may fragment the Banished leadership. Griffin decided their best course of action was to assassinate the War Chief.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Reverie 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Reverie #06 - Weakness}} He decided to send a four-Spartan team to assassinate Escharum, as the other Spartans would be needed to defend the ''Reverie''. The Spartans drew straws, as there were more than four volunteers. In the end, on January 23, [[2560]], Spartan Griffin led Spartans [[Panago]], [[Henri Malik|Malik]], and [[Sarkar]] in an assassination mission on the Escharum. Griffin left [[Bertold Vettel]] in charge of the UNSC forces at ''Reverie''.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Retaliation 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Retaliation #02 - Those Left Behind}} | ||
However, Escharum anticipated Griffin's actions. His forces ambushed the Spartan team, killing the other three and leaving Griffin badly wounded. Escharum taunted Griffin, letting him know that he'd sent most of his forces to assault the ''Reverie''. Before being captured, Griffin managed to send an encrypted message to warn ''Reverie'' before Escharum handed him over to [[Chak 'Lok]] for torture. | However, Escharum anticipated Griffin's actions.
