While Halsey made preparations, Palmer, Tanaka, and Glassman came in contact with a Sentinel containing the backup memory of the Record's ancilla. With their aid, the AI regained control of the facility and barred Halsey from controlling it further. Over Halsey's protests, the custodian admitted that Halsey had nearly passed its test and would've been given the Record if she hadn't been so impatient to steal it. The custodian thus took the Janus Key and began pulling the Record back into slipspace. Shortly afterward, Halsey was recovered by Jul's forces and brought back aboard the ''Song of Retribution'', unaware that she had tried to betray them and under the impression that the ancilla had sent the Sentinels.<ref name="HE24">'''Halo: Escalation''' ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 24|Issue #24]]''</ref>

In September 2558, Dr. Halsey contacted the UNSC claiming to have information on a series of recent attacks on [[human colonies]] by [[Guardian|mysterious Forerunner entities]]. In response, the UNSC deployed Spartan-IV [[Fireteam Osiris]] to retrieve Halsey from the custody of Jul 'Mdama on [[Kamchatka]].<ref name="h5g opening">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians Opening Cinematic]]'''</ref> Osiris arrived, killed 'Mdama, and rescued Halsey, bringing her back to the UNSC ''Infinity'' alive.<ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians'', ''campaign level [[Osiris (level)|Osiris]]''</ref> Halsey was distressed to see that the UNSC took so long to retrieve her, having dire news for them: Cortana was alive, active in the [[Domain]] network, and was responsible for the awakening of the Guardians.<ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians'', ''campaign level [[Blue Team (level)|Blue Team]]''</ref> After a following Guardian incident on [[Meridian]], Halsey traveled to [[Sanghelios]] with ''Infinity'''s crew in anticipation of another Guardian awakening there.
