During the Requiem Campaign, Spartan Gabriel Thorne and Doctor Henry Glassman, later aided by the rest of Fireteam Majestic, staged an escape from the location known as "Librarian's Rest."
Prelude
During a mission in "the Cauldron," Fireteam Crimson were able to retrieve a mysterious Forerunner artifact that they transported back to the UNSC Infinity.[1] While examining the artifact, Doctor Henry Glassman accidentally activated it and was pulled in.[2] Glassman was transported to Requiem's surface where he was captured by Covenant forces. In exchange for his life being spared, Glassman agreed to help Jul 'Mdama access the shrine at "Librarian's Rest"[3] to gain access to the imprint of the Librarian stored within. Glassman was forced to work with inadequate equipment,[4] but eventually succeeded in activating a protective shield around the shrine, albeit without knowing exactly what he had accomplished.[5]
Due to Glassman's disappearance, Doctor Catherine Halsey was brought in to help examine the artifact.[3] Jul contacted her in secret, offering Halsey information about the Prometheans.[4] After Fireteam Crimson and Fireteam Majestic retrieved "the Didact's Gift," it was revealed to be the "soul" of a Promethean Knight, a human digitized by the Composer during the New Phoenix Incident six months earlier. As Halsey communicated with Jul about the discovery, she was found out by Commander Sarah Palmer and arrested for her actions. Spartan Gabriel Thorne, confused by the appearance of the artifact in the memories revealed in "the Didact's Gift," inadvertently activated it and was transported to "the Cauldron."[5] Despite putting up a fight, Thorne was eventually captured by two Sangheili Storm and taken to "Librarian's Rest" which was eventually detected by Roland.[6]
Battle
Escape from custody
Jul 'Mdama was left pleased with Doctor Henry Glassman having apparently awoken the Librarian, though Glassman admitted that he wasn't sure exactly what he had done. Noticing that all of the gathered Sangheili were bowing to the shrine aside from Jul, Glassman took the opportunity to escape through the hallways, removing his collar as he went. However, when Jul attempted to approach the shrine, he was repulsed by the energy shield that Glassman had inadvertently activated. Jul was left enraged, believing that Glassman had purposefully deceived him and upon finding Glassman gone, sent his Sangheili after the scientist. Jul also warned Gek 'Lhar that his escape was unacceptable and Gek promised to deal with it personally.
At the same time, Spartan Gabriel Thorne was dragged to through "Sniper Alley" to the entrance to "Librarian's Rest" based on Jul's orders that anyone who came through the artifact be brought to him. As the two Sangheili dragging Thorne argued over what to do with him, they were unaware of the Spartan secretly regaining consciousness to await his moment to strike. As the Sangheili knocked on the door, the fleeing Glassman arrived and opened it, inadvertently giving Thorne the distraction he needed to fight back. Striking his captors, Thorne quickly disarmed one of his Storm Rifle and killed both Sangheili.
As Thorne regrouped with Glassman, the scientist, attempting to catch his breath, managed to warn Thorne of the large group of approaching Sangheili. Having found Glassman's discarded collar, Gek chose to activate the explosives vest he had previously attached to Glassman to control the scientist. Spotting the vest activating, Thorne quickly removed it and flung it at the Sangheili before fleeing with Glassman. Gek detonated the vest, inadvertently killing his own men but preventing them from pursuing Glassman and Thorne further. Enraged at the carnage Thorne wrought, Gek pursued the two fleeing humans.[6]
