Approximately one month after the destruction of Requiem, the ''Infinity'' had yet to locate 'Mdama or Halsey. The {{UNSCShip|Vociferous}} was subsequently given the task of tracking down 'Mdama, while the ''Infinity'' was reassigned to provide security for a diplomatic conference between Thel 'Vadam and the Jiralhanae on [[Ealen IV]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 1|Issue #1]]''</ref> | Approximately one month after the destruction of Requiem, the ''Infinity'' had yet to locate 'Mdama or Halsey.

At some point on Requiem, Jul's forces had recovered a Forerunner [[Requiem communication artifact|artifact]] that would be able to "speak" to the engine systems of ''Infinity'', and therefore the artifact would be able to blockade the engines of ''Infinity'' and allow Jul to steal the other half of the Janus Key. On [[2558#July|July 15, 2558]], Jul's forces [[Battle of Oban|attacked]] [[Oban]], a human colony in the midst of settlement. The attack was advocated by Halsey, who believed that a bold move was the only way to attract ''Infinity''. After the attack failed, 'Mdama's lieutenants called for Halsey's head, however Jul seemingly defended her actions. After ''Infinity'' attempted to enter slipspace for [[Galileo II]] base, 'Mdama's Forerunner artifact forcefully brought it back into normal space and trapped the vessel in an uncharted system. Aboard a {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}, Halsey informed Jul that they do not need to attack the ship, as the crew of ''Infinity'' would now be willing to hand over the other half of the Janus Key directly.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 13|Issue #13]]''</ref> | [[File:HE14 Traitor 4.jpg|250px|thumb|'Mdama kills a traitor.]] | ||

While some were killed and one was captured, many of them escaped to nearby planet [[Aktis IV]]'s surface. 'Mdama briefly interrogated the captive and learned that [[Sali 'Nyon]] led the rebellion, before killing the captured insurgent himself; Jul ordered for all other rebels to be killed on sight.<ref name="HE14">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 14|Issue #14]]''</ref> | |||
Meanwhile, at the urge of Halsey, 'Mdama had a fake Forerunner artifact placed in a Forerunner structure on Aktis IV. As per Halsey's plan, Glassman and the SPARTAN-IVs of ''Infinity'' discovered the artifact and believed that it was related to the Janus Key. Halsey and Jul watched Glassman's investigation from ''Song of Retribution'' and when 'Mdama expressed mock abhorrence at creating a copy of a "holy" Forerunner object, Halsey revealed that she knew Jul's public persona is a mere façade. Glassman requested for ''Infinity'' to deliver their half of the Janus Key to him on the planet's surface for further analyzing. Anticipating this, 'Mdama had troops ready to ambush the UNSC convoy carrying their half of the Key. Much to 'Mdama's surprise, the Pelican carrying the half were shot down before he could give an order. In the confusion, the rest of the Covenant ambush group began the attack. 'Mdama decided to scourge the Pelican crash-site himself, and he ordered Halsey to remain aboard his carrier. Unbeknownst to him, Sali 'Nyon was responsible for shooting down the Pelican and he claimed half of the Janus Key for himself.<ref name="HE14"/> | |||
