Sometime during the operation in recovering the "[[Didact's Gift]]" from [[Galileo Base]], Majestic was [[Battle of Galileo Base|pinned down]] due to [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] air support.

With the base's anti-air defenses offline, Thorne quickly hijacked a low-flying [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshee]] and subsequently destroyed a nearby [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantom]], allowing the Fireteam to complete their objective. Back aboard the ''Infinity'', Thorne and DeMarco provided security for the artifact as Dr. Halsey and [[Roland]] examined it. The device released an energy burst shortly after revealing itself, and began to display images on the room's monitors; these were then identified as human memories harvested by the Composer during the Didact's [[New Phoenix Incident|attack]] on [[New Phoenix]], [[URNA]] six months prior. Thorne left the room straight after discovering the Forerunner artifact Crimson had recovered on one of the monitors. Curious as to how the device had images of New Phoenix, Thorne investigated the Requiem artifact himself. After coming into physical contact with it, he activated it, and was sent to Requiem.<ref name="hand">'''Spartan Ops''', [[Memento Mori|S105 Memento Mori]]</ref> He was transported to "[[the Cauldron]]" which was held by 'Mdama's Covenant, where several [[Sangheili Storm|Sangheili]] warriors surrounded him. After a short fight, Thorne managed to kill a few before being knocked unconscious. He was then dragged away to be held as prisoner. | ||
Thorne later regained consciousness and [[Escape from Librarian's Rest|escaped]] his captors with [[Henry Glassman]]—who had escaped prior to his arrival. They both fled the area in a hurry after killing their initial pursuers. [[Gek 'Lhar]], however, quickly picked up their trail and pursued them himself. Some time later, Gek ambushed the pair as they were resting. After a brief skirmish, Gek garnered the upper-hand from Thorne, who he was about to kill, until the rest of Fireteam Majestic arrived. He was shot dead by DeMarco, saving Thorne's life. Thorne searched the dead Elite for anything significant, giving DeMarco the [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]] as gratitude for saving his life. DeMarco also collected Gek's personal collection of UNSC [[dog tag]]s, commenting that some of them belonged to [[Spartan]]s. Thorne took Gek's [[active camouflage]] module for himself, which prompted Madsen to find anything valuable for himself. He picked up a small device and activated it, revealing a map of Requiem, much to his displeasure.<ref name="s1e8">''Spartan Ops'', [[Expendable|S108 Expendable]]</ref> | Thorne later regained consciousness and [[Escape from Librarian's Rest|escaped]] his captors with [[Henry Glassman]]—who had escaped prior to his arrival.

Desperate to find Jul, Palmer and Thorne drove a Warthog and engaged Promethean forces. Palmer recklessly drove the Warthog off of a cliff, landed on a [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] [[dropship]], and crashed to the ground. Thorne was injured in the process and the Spartans were only saved after the Phantoms were destroyed by a [[GA-TL1 Longsword]] called in by Spartan [[Joel Thomas]]. After a short engagement, Jul 'Mdama's Covenant forces withdrew from the system.<ref name="HE13">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 13|Issue #13]]''</ref> | ||
