In [[2558#March|March 2558]], Scruggs and the rest of Fireteam Jackknife, along with [[Fireteam Bailey]] led by [[Paul DeMarco]], were assigned to escort and provide security for [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] and [[Kaidon]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] on a diplomatic mission to [[Ealen IV]]. While Hood and 'Vadam were negotiating with the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] [[Lydus]], [[Vata 'Gajat's mercenary group|Covenant mercenaries]] led by [[Shipmaster]] [[Vata 'Gajat]] attacked the delegates. Commander Palmer ordered Scruggs and the other SPARTAN-IVs to clear the chamber and help the delegates evacuate. After their [[DS-004|evacuation ship]] was destroyed, the Spartans escorted the delegates to a nearby parts depot. Once everyone was inside, DeMarco sealed the depot to halt the incoming Covenant forces.{{Ref/Reuse|HE1}}

Inside the depot, the Arbiter informed the party of a redoubt in which they could take refuge. Spartan [[Naiya Ray]] of Jackknife left with Captain Lasky to reestablish communication with ''Infinity''. As the party attempted to escape the storage depot, Scruggs and the rest of Jackknife were tasked with ensuring the safety of Lydus and his Jiralhanae bodyguards. Soon after their escape, they were intercepted by a Covenant [[Type-56 Lich|Lich]]. Commander Palmer destroyed the Lich but was attacked by a surviving [[Sangheili]]. Scruggs killed the Elite, saving Palmer just in time.

Jackknife and the alien bodyguards then left the delegates to ensure that the redoubt was safe to use as shelter. As the party arrived at the redoubt, Scruggs killed his team and the Brute bodyguards.

When the party arrived, Scruggs ambushed the delegates and took Admiral Hood hostage, using him as a human shield. Palmer was shocked by Scruggs' treachery, urging him that as a Spartan he was above such behavior. Scruggs accepted that he was a Spartan but insisting that he was fighting for something else. When Palmer accused him of being an [[Insurrectionist]], Scruggs scoffed at her and told her she was unaware of a grander scheme surrounding the UNSC, mentioning the [[New Phoenix Incident|attack on New Phoenix]], the Arbiter's inability to make peace, and the disappearance of Spartan [[John-117]]. Palmer then shot Hood in the leg, causing Scruggs to lose his grip on him, and quickly tackled Scruggs out of a window onto a platform below. Scruggs tried to take aim at Palmer but she threw a knife into his wrist, forcing him to drop his pistol. When he tried to use his own combat knife, Palmer quickly disarmed him and stabbed him in the throat, killing him.<ref name="HE3">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 3|Issue #3]]''</ref>
