Ilsa Zane led a team | Ilsa Zane led a team on Insurrectionists to the ''Infinity'' in a [[D82-EST Darter]], wearing outfits that disguised them as UNSC construction workers. The rebels landed in one of the ''Infinity'''s [[hangar bay]]s, and made their way throughout the ship to await further orders. They sneaked on board and took Captain [[Andrew Del Rio]] hostage. They immediately went to the [[bridge]] were she was instantly recognized by [[Aine]], the ship's temporary AI. Zane quickly took Aine offline and proceeded to take control of the ship. However, at the time of the raid, [[Jun-A266]] and [[Thomas Lasky]] were giving [[SPARTAN-IV]] recruits a tour of the ''Infinity''. Zane threatened to depressurize the ship and kill everyone aboard if anyone tried to retake the bridge. Though they were not officially authorized, Jun allowed the SPARTAN-IVs to access the MJOLNIR armor stored on the ship in order to retake the bridge.<ref>'''Halo: Initiation''', ''[[Halo: Initiation Issue 2|Issue #2]]''</ref> | ||
Eventually, Zane depressurized S-Deck, killing several UNSC personnel. With the Spartans' help, Lasky was able to reach a security panel and input override codes, which gave Del Rio and the other officers access to the bridge. Spartans [[Sarah Palmer]] and [[Edward Davis]] made their way to the bridge of the ''Infinity'' through space. Eventually, the duo reached Zane. As they breached ''Infinity's'' bridge, Ilsa Zane fought Palmer one-on-one, while Davis fought the other Insurrectionists. Zane's augmentations allowed her to be an equal fighter to Palmer, despite the latter's armor. In the ensuing fight, Del Rio brought Aine back online, who then activated the ship's containment doors. Palmer then knocked Zane out a containment door and into space. The remaining insurgents were captured and interrogated by the UNSC.{{Ref/Reuse|HI3}} | Eventually, Zane depressurized S-Deck, killing several UNSC personnel.

Upon awakening, she was met by an unknown individual, whom she recognized and was surprised to see. The interrogation of the captured insurgents revealed to the UNSC that Drake was part of the New Colonial Alliance.
