NCA forces detect Spartans' Booster Frames and Clayton activates the station's point defenses. Clayton orders 'Gajat to stop the Spartans, but 'Gajat, in a burst of ambition, decides to destroy ''Infinity'' instead. The NCA forces attack Majestic and Palmer with missiles but the Spartans manage to avoid them. Hoya notices 'Gajat's ''SDV''-class corvette undocking from the station, but the Spartans decide to enter the station and use it to destroy the ship. Inside 'Gajat's flagship, 'Gajat receives an emergency call from the station but he decides to ignore it and proceed with his plan to destroy ''Infinity''. Meanwhile, the Spartans quickly capture the station and its crew. Madsen knocks Clayton unconscious as revenge for DeMarco's death on Ealen IV. 'Gajat contacts the station to tell Clayton he is about to destroy ''Infinity'', but he is answered by Palmer, who orders Thorne to fire the cannon, destroying 'Gajat's ship. | Issue #6 opens with Hood remembering his actions during his military career, and watching the chaos on the ''Infinity'' after three successive attacks of the station's glassing cannon.

At the same time, Lasky and Ray return to ''Infinity'' after his mission with Petra on Karava. Palmer apologizes to Lasky for her behavior after the battle on Ealen IV. Lasky forgives Palmer and tells her that his mission to find the spy, despite having been a success, failed to report to the UNSC in time to prevent the attack. Palmer tells him that it was Hood's fault for making decisions without his consent. In Clayton's cell, Hood (now in a wheelchair) visits him and asks him why Admiral Drake wanted to destroy the ''Infinity'' despite wanting to [[Raid on UNSC Infinity|capture it]] five years before. Clayton tells Hood the NCA is stronger than before and have agents on every colony, even Earth. Hood orders to his men to take Clayton to [[Midnight Facility]], but Clayton tells him they will meet again. After this encounter, Hood wonders if the UNSC will find the ''Spirit of Fire'', wishing to find Cutter and ask for his forgiveness. | ||

*''Spirit of Fire'' is erroneously painted with the hull number CFV-38 rather than the correct CFV-88. This is likely a result of careless referencing of [[:File:UNSC Spirit of Fire (CFV-88).png|an image]] of the ship from ''Halo Wars'', in which the first number "8" on the hull resembles a "3" due to worn paint. | *''Spirit of Fire'' is erroneously painted with the hull number CFV-38 rather than the correct CFV-88.
