===Jul 'Mdama's Plan=== | |||
During their flight to Copernicus Base, [[Fireteam Castle]] was shot down by Covenant forces led by Jul 'Mdama. This attack drew ''Infinity''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> attention to hunt down 'Mdama. UNSC scientists have discovered that the Covenant remnant are using Requiem's portal systems, and Fireteam Crimson was deployed to assist in the investigation. Incidentally, 'Mdama was detected traversing through the portals, so Fireteam Majestic and Crimson were sent to give chase. After discovering a way to activate Requiem's portal systems, Crimson followed 'Mdama to "the Cauldron", where he purposely left an artifact known as the "[[Didact's Gift]]" for Crimson, prompting the team to bring the artifact to ''Galileo Base''.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Didact's Hand|S1E4 ''Didact's Hand'']]</ref> | |||
The Covenant remnant then staged an attack on the base to show that they were attempting to recover the artifact. While Fireteam Crimson defended the base, Fireteam Majestic extracted the "Didact's Gift" and brought it back to ''Infinity'', where it was analyzed by Halsey. By giving Halsey the "soul of a Promethean Knight", 'Mdama had gained Halsey's interest in cooperating to find the Librarian. Their partnership, however, was discovered by Captain Lasky and Commander Palmer, who then took Halsey into custody. Spartan [[Gabriel Thorne]], during his examination of the translocation artifact, was taken to Requiem like Glassman. On Requiem, the Covenant and Promethean forces attacked UNSC research bases "[[the Refuge]]" and Magma Base, but both of these attacks were successfully repelled by [[Fireteam Crimson]] (with the assistance of [[Fireteam Shadow]] in "the Refuge"). During their search for Spartan Gabriel Thorne in "Quarry", members of Crimson were captured by Covenant forces.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Memento Mori|S1E5 ''Memento Mori'']]</ref> | |||
Spartan Thorne was captured by the Covenant and was brought to where Glassman was. Glassman, on the other hand, managed to activate the Librarian's device, and used the opportunity to escape. Glassman's escape distracted the Sangheili who took Thorne prisoner, giving Thorne the chance to retaliate. Together, the duo ran away, heading for Galileo Base.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Scattered|S1E6 ''Scattered'']]</ref> | |||
