Sometime during the operation in recovering the "[[Didact's Gift]]" from [[Galileo Base]], Majestic was pinned down due to [[Covenant]] air support.

With the base air defenses offline, Thorne quickly hijacked a low-flying [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] and destroyed a nearby [[Type-44 Troop Carrier|Phantom]] dropship, allowing the Fireteam to return to the ''Infinity''. As the device was being examined by Dr. Halsey and Roland, the matrix gave off an energy burst, it sent images of New Phoenix throughout the monitors within the room, which Thorne quickly recognized. He noticed that the translocation artifact appeared in one of the images; curious, he left the laboratory and later approached the artifact. Wondering how the artifact could have been present at New Phoenix prior to its discovery, Thorne touched it and was unexpectedly translocated to a Forerunner structure in [[The Cauldron]], where he was immediately surrounded by [[Sangheili Storm]] forces.<ref name="hand">'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Memento Mori|S1E5 ''Memento Mori'']]</ref> Thorne put up a fight, managing to kill most of the Sangheili before being knocked unconscious. Coming to, he pretended to stay unconscious as the Covenant forces led him to their base. After arriving, Dr. [[Henry Glassman]] (who had escaped at the time) arrived at the front entrance. Thorne chose then to get up and kill his two Sangheili captors. When [[Gek]] remotely activated Glassman's plasma charge-rigged vest, Thorne quickly disposed of it and the two fled.<ref name="hand">'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Scattered|S1E6 ''Scattered'']]</ref> | ||
Gek quickly picked up their trail and pursued them. Some time later, Gek ambushed the pair as they were resting. Thorne quickly disarmed Gek of his [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy sword]] and engaged him in a close-quarters brawl. Gek, however, managed to gain the upper hand from Thorne after smashing a large rock over his chest plating. Just before Gek could kill Thorne, the rest of Fireteam Majestic arrived. DeMarco shot the Elite dead, saving Thorne's life. Afterwards, Thorne searched the dead Elite for anything significant, giving DeMarco the energy sword in gratitude, as well as Gek's personal collection of UNSC [[dog tag]]s. Thorne also took Gek's [[active camouflage]] module for himself.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Expendable|S1E8 ''Expendable'']]</ref> | Gek quickly picked up their trail and pursued them.

As a Pelican landed to bring Glassman back to ''Infinity'', Captain Lasky contacted Majestic via hologram, ordering them to rescue Halsey, who had been taken by the Covenant and had a kill order placed on her by [[Office of Naval Intelligence|CINCONI]], [[Admiral]] [[Serin Osman]]. Returning to the [[Librarian]]'s shrine, Thorne got the guards' attention, before Majestic opened fire from the high ground. DeMarco ordered Thorne to proceed inside and rescue Halsey. He caught Jul 'Mdama off guard and killed two of his bodyguards. As Jul grabbed Halsey, she passed him one half of the [[Janus Key]] given to her by the Librarian. As Palmer turned up, Jul summoned Promethean Knights to cover his escape. By the time the Spartans managed to destroy the Knights, Jul teleported away, with Halsey in tow. After yelling in frustration, Palmer demanded to know why Majestic was there. DeMarco explained that they were on a rescue mission, to which Palmer retorted that Halsey was a traitor. Thorne did not believe so, and showed the Commander that Halsey had given him one half of the Key.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Key|S1E9 ''Key'']]</ref> | As a Pelican landed to bring Glassman back to ''Infinity'', Captain Lasky contacted Majestic via hologram, ordering them to rescue Halsey, who had been taken by the Covenant and had a kill order placed on her by [[Office of Naval Intelligence|CINCONI]], [[Admiral]] [[Serin Osman]].
