As the ''Infinity'' and her fleet continued to approach Requiem, the ship's control systems were swiftly hacked by the Didact as Requiem once again opened one of its portals and pulled the ''Infinity'' into the shield world, causing violent explosions inside the supercarrier as her approach went chaotic, with her parked vehicles crashing into one another.{{Ref/Reuse|The Commissioning}} John escaped Requiem's core just as ''Infinity'' entered Requiem's outer shell.{{Ref/Level|Id=Forerunner|Game=Halo 4|Level=[[Forerunner (level)|Forerunner]]}} | As the ''Infinity'' and her fleet continued to approach Requiem, the ship's control systems were swiftly hacked by the Didact as Requiem once again opened one of its portals and pulled the ''Infinity'' into the shield world, causing violent explosions inside the supercarrier as her approach went chaotic, with her parked vehicles crashing into one another.{{Ref/Reuse|The Commissioning}} John escaped Requiem's core just as ''Infinity'' entered Requiem's outer shell.{{Ref/Level|Id=Forerunner|Game=Halo 4|Level=[[Forerunner (level)|Forerunner]]}} | ||
''Infinity'' crashed into a jungle inside Requiem and was immediately attacked by Promethean and Covenant forces.

''Infinity'' was eventually boarded, allowing the Didact to extract information about the [[Composer]], a Forerunner superweapon, from the ship's mainframe. John-117 joined Commanders [[Thomas Lasky]] and [[Sarah Palmer]] just as Captain Del Rio recalled ground forces to ''Infinity''. John cleared a landing zone for the UNSC forces and headed to ''Infinity''{{'}}s crash site. There, John-117 and a squad of SPARTAN-IVs broke through to one of ''Infinity''{{'}}s hangar bays. John piloted a [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Armor Defense System|Mantis assault mech]] and fought through ''Infinity''{{'}}s maintenance corridors to some of the ship's weapon systems, and, after John destroyed the Covenant jammers near the control terminals, ''Infinity'' disabled two ''CRS''-class light cruisers and damaged the Didact's Cryptum, prompting the Forerunner to retreat.{{Ref/Reuse|Infinity}} The repaired ''Infinity'' left her crash site, but since she was still under the effect of Requiem's gravity well, Captain Del Rio sent John-117 and [[Gypsy Company]] to take down the Forerunner anti-air [[particle cannon]]s near the gravity well generator.{{Ref/Level|Id=rec|Game=Halo 4|Level=[[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]]}} | ||
At some point during the battle, at 1604 hours, Cortana conversed with the original shipoard AI of the ''Infinity'', [[Aine]], who was heavily damaged by the time the ''Infinity'' crashed, for a dozen seconds, asking her for help with the ship's crew. However, Aine, noticing Cortana's [[rampancy]] may kill even more of ''Infinity''{{'}}s crew, and the deactivation of her central power core at Cortana's hands, declined. She subsequently threatened her with informing Captain Del Rio to lock Cortana and John-117 on the ship or articulate the [[Unified Earth Government]]'s policy for final dispensation as Cortana continued to ignore advice from Aine. In response, Cortana accidentally broke down Aine's matrix, killing her as a result while the AI believed that Aine could have accepted the opportunity to let Cortana and John-117 help the shipboard AI.{{Ref/Generic|Id=datadrops7|Heading=[[Halo Legendary Crate]]|Subheading=[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #7]]|Detail=[[:File:LC 07 doc2.jpg|JUNE 21, 2557 1604:02:28 // UNSC INFINITY]]}} The conversation was recorded as the "Cyroraeth Dialogue", and the story of the functional death of Aine was kept a secret to the majority of ''Infinity''{{'}}s crew, believing the former shipboard AI was terminated upon the ''Infinity''{{'}}s impact on Requiem.{{Ref/Generic|Id=TCD|Heading=[[Halo Legendary Crate]]|Subheading=[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #7]]|Detail=[[:File:LC 07 doc2.jpg|THE CYRORAETH DIALOGUE]]}} | At some point during the battle, at 1604 hours, Cortana conversed with the original shipoard AI of the ''Infinity'', [[Aine]], who was heavily damaged by the time the ''Infinity'' crashed, for a dozen seconds, asking her for help with the ship's crew.

Following the destruction of the gravity well generator, the Master Chief and Cortana began to push for Captain Del Rio and ''Infinity'' to assault the Didact's Cryptum, and destroy it, to keep the Didact from leaving Requiem. However, Del Rio refused to believe the two, calling their encounter with the Librarian "the hallucinations of an aging Spartan and his malfunctioning AI." This belief was furthered when Cortana's [[rampancy]] caused her to have an angry outburst. While Del Rio ordered Commander Lasky to remove Cortana's data chip to be destroyed, the Master Chief took it instead, telling Del Rio that if he wouldn't stop the Didact, the Master Chief would do it himself. The Master Chief refused Del Rio's orders to stand down, and ordered Lasky to warn Earth of the coming threat from the Didact. Lasky was then ordered to prevent the Master Chief's departure by any means necessary but recognized that it was too dangerous to risk the Chief being wrong about the Didact. Instead, Lasky had a [[G79H Pelican|Pelican gunship]] prepared for full combat pursuit of the Master Chief but instead gave the dropship to the Spartan.{{Ref/Level|Id=Shutdown|H4|[[Shutdown]]}} | Following the destruction of the gravity well generator, the Master Chief and Cortana began to push for Captain Del Rio and ''Infinity'' to assault the Didact's Cryptum, and destroy it, to keep the Didact from leaving Requiem.
