Sometime later, a Covenant/[[Promethean]] force [[Invasion of the UNSC Infinity|attacked]] the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, causing [[Thomas Lasky|Captain Lasky]] to recall all Spartan forces. Crimson and Murphy encountered heavy Covenant/Promethean resistance.

In [[2558#March|March 2558]], the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} picked up distress signal originating in the [[Artesia-702 system]]. When ''Infinity'' arrived in the system on March 11, it found a damaged [[freighter]], the ''[[Pilgrims' Pride]]''. Murphy, leading several other Pelicans, analyzed the freighter. He reported that the freighter was in bad shape and was leaking atmosphere.{{Ref/Comic| | In [[2558#March|March 2558]], the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} picked up distress signal originating in the [[Artesia-702 system]].

On December 12, [[2559]], Murphy was onboard {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} when it was [[Battle over Installation 07|ambushed]] by [[Banished]] forces upon arrival at [[Installation 07]].{{Ref/Site|Id=rundown|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-rubicon-rundown|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder: Rubicon Rundown|D=3|M=8|Y=2022}} As the ''Infinity'' fell to the Banished assault, Murphy’s Pelican was destroyed with its hangar bay.

With orders to evacuate from the ship, Murphy piloted a lifeboat, ''[[Papa Tango Delta Zero Nine]]'', and followed [[Echo India Bravo Zero Eight|his companion lifeboat]] piloted by Spartan-IV [[Bonita Stone]] to the surface of the ring. However, as the two entered the ring’s lower atmosphere, Murphy’s lifeboat was hit, losing its back section, and spun out of control.{{Ref/Novel|Id=trp1|RP|Chapter=1}} Eventually, Murphy regrouped with Spartan Stone, along with Spartan-IV [[Nina Kovan]], and together they travelled to the UNSC stronghold at the wreckage of the {{UNSCShip|Mortal Reverie}}.{{Ref/Novel|TRP|Chapter=8}} | ||
On [[2560#May|May 14, 2560]], Murphy took part in Kovan's mission to broadcast Zeta Halo's coordinates to the UNSC in the hopes of summoning reinforcements to the ring. During [[Battle of the Beacon Tower|the battle]] that followed, Murphy leapt in front of a [[Stealth Sangheili]]'s pulse carbine fire, sacrificing himself to stop the destruction of the beacon tower's console. Mortally wounded, Murphy died shortly after witnessing the successful deployment of the message.{{Ref/Novel|Id=RP35|RP|Chapter=35}} | |||
