After [[Fireteam Castle]] were killed by Covenant forces the UNSC began searching for 'Mdama, now know by the epithet "the Didact's Hand".

Some time later Dr. Halsey contacted 'Mdama, informing him that she had deduced he was her helper but that their alliance could free the Librarian. However, the ship's AI, [[Roland]], was able to recover from Halsey's subterfuge and cut off the connection. After this 'Mdama ordered the Covenant and Prometheans to board ''Infinity'' through the artifact to capture Dr. Halsey.<ref name = S1E7>'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Invasion]]''</ref> Despite significant losses the Prometheans managed to capture the doctor. She was then taken to "Librarian's Rest", where 'Mdama had her disable the shield previously erected by Doctor Glassman's attempts to access the shrine. As the shield deactivated she quickly entered the beam of light being produced by the shrine; she vanished, to 'Mdama's great anger.<ref name = "S1E8">'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Expendable]]''</ref>

When Halsey returned from the shrine she was clutching the Librarian's "gift": the [[Janus Key]]. She flew out right into 'Mdama's arm; he immediately grabbed half the half of the Key he saw her holding. Thinking that it was actually the whole device, 'Mdama seemed disappointed and frustrated that the gift he had sought at great length was nothing more than a useless artifact. At that moment, however, Spartan [[Fireteam Majestic]] infiltrated [[Copernicus Base]] and killed 'Mdama's guards, with Halsey quickly tossing to Thorne her half of the Key, leaving 'Mdama with only his stolen half. 'Mdama quickly summoned several Promethean Knights to protect him, just as [[Sarah Palmer|Spartan Palmer]] arrived with orders to kill Doctor Halsey. She shot Halsey in the shoulder, wounding her, before 'Mdama managed to grab Halsey and summon another Knight to teleport him and Halsey away.<ref name = "S1E9">'''Spartan Ops''',, ''[[Key]]''</ref> Following this, 'Mdama put Requiem on a collision course with [[Epoloch system|its star]] and announced that any Covenant who did not flee the planet would die with it.<ref name = "S1E10">'''Spartan Ops''': ''[[Exodus]]''</ref>
