===Battle of Requiem===

 

===Requiem Campaign===

On [[2558#February|February 14, 2558]], Kidman—operating under the callsign Shadow Four—and the rest of Fireteam Shadow were dispatched to the [[Requiem]] shield world to neutralize a Covenant base established two days earlier. After Stone eliminated patrols around the site, Kidman's [[TQ-8 seeker drone]]s were to create a breach allowing Stone and [[Horatio Fry]] to break into the base to shut down production.{{Ref/Reuse|VU}} However, in the midst of the operation, [[Jared Miller]] reassigned the team on [[Operation: VERTICAL UMBRAGE|a priority operation]] to destroy the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}} ''[[Panom's Canticle]]'', which was deploying forces to "[[The Refuge (Requiem location)|The Refuge]]".{{Ref/Reuse|rundown}} Being too far from their Pelican, Shadow stole a Phantom from the [[Covenant Summit|Summit]] to get there.{{Ref/Reuse|VU}}

 

While [[Fireteam Crimson]] [[Battle at The Refuge|protected the science team from the Covenant ground forces]] at "The Refuge", Shadow took advantage of the stolen Phantom to rush into the ''Panom's Canticle'' hangar before the crew activated the shields. Shadow made rapid progress through the ship, but encountered heavy resistance as they approached the core. As Fry, Kovan, and Kidman cleared out the last Covenant soldiers in the hallway leading to the main reactor room, Stone had already infiltrated there, armed with her [[active camouflage]]. While Stone fought [[Ryn 'Alun|the shipmaster]] and his Sangheili, [[Nina Kovan]] fired her [[Selene's Lance]] at the ship's power core, causing the reactor to overload. Kidman located a nearby drop pod bay, and led his squad mates to their means of egress before the cruiser's impending explosion. With the power core overloaded, the cruiser was destroyed, bringing an end to the Covenant's attack. Kidman and the rest of Shadow escaped onboard a {{Pattern|Gloto'kef|assault carapace}}.{{Ref/Reuse|VU}}{{Ref/SpOps|Id=everything|Memento Mori|Everything Has Gone Wrong}}

Jason Kidman and Fry remained with [[Fireteam Taurus]] to repel Banished boarders from a hangar bay.{{Ref/Novel|Id=rp1|TRP|1}} Once Lasky was safely evacuated, Spartan [[Hudson Griffin]] ordered all Spartans to evacuate.{{Ref/Reuse|rp1}}{{Ref/Game|Id=ia12|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Infinity's Approach 2|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Infinity's Approach #12 - Abandon Ship}} The fates of Kidman and Fry following the space battle became unknown to Stone and Kovan.{{Ref/Reuse|rp14}}
