{{Main|Battle of Requiem}}

Following the disappearance of a science team on [[Ivanoff Station]] in [[2557]], the ''UNSC Infinity'' went to assist, and Del Rio picked up a distress call from the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}, sent out by [[John-117]] and [[Cortana]]. Del Rio then found the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] of [[Requiem]] and began to approach the planet, sending out transmissions to try and contact John.<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Requiem (level)|Requiem]]''</ref> Eventually Cortana was able to respond to Del Rio's transmissions, but they continued to be garbled. Not fully hearing Cortana's warnings not to approach Requiem, Del Rio guided the ''Infinity'' to the entrance portal and was pulled in the planet, crashing in the jungles of Requiem.<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Forerunner (level)|Forerunner]]''</ref> In response, Del Rio sent out Lasky, Commander [[Sarah Palmer]], and a contingent of [[Spartan-IV]]s and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] to try to find the coordinates of the [[gravity well]]. Del Rio believed the ''Infinity'' could provide covering fire and defend itself, however, it failed in both, as [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant remnant]] forces led by the [[Didact]] forced their way to the bridge. Only John, who had recently encountered what remained of the scouting party, was able to save the ship by activating the defenses using a [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Armor Defense System|Mantis]]. With ''Infinity's'' defenses reactivated, the ship was able to destroy two {{Class|CRS|light cruiser}}s and drive off the Didact's [[Cryptum]].<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Infinity (Halo 4 level)|Infinity]]''</ref>
