In July 2558, five months after the [[Requiem Campaign]], Glassman continued his inspection of the incomplete Janus Key onboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. [[File:HE14 Sali 'Nyon.jpg| | In July 2558, five months after the [[Requiem Campaign]], Glassman continued his inspection of the incomplete Janus Key onboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. [[File:HE14 Sali 'Nyon.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Sali 'Nyon obtains a half of the Janus Key.]] At the same time, Dr. Halsey, who allied herself with Jul 'Mdama, plotted to acquire the UNSC's half of the Janus Key. She and 'Mdama constructed a decoy Forerunner artifact for ''Infinity'' to find on the surface of the planet [[Aktis IV]]. Upon its discovery, a deceived Dr. Glassman requested ''Infinity'' to transport the UNSC's half of the key down to the planet, to examine how the two artifacts would interact. Captain Lasky dispatched a Pelican and a Broadsword to deliver the key to the site. As the aircraft approached their destination, they were both shot down by Covenant anti-air artillery. The attack, however, was not issued on Jul 'Mdama's order and was instead carried out by [[Sali 'Nyon's Covenant|defectors of 'Mdama's own faction]]. ''Infinity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s half of the Janus Key immediately fell into the hands of Jul 'Mdama's leading detractor, a self-proclaimed Sangheili prophet named [[Sali 'Nyon]].<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 14|Issue #14]]''</ref> | ||

However, [[Unidentified Sangheili Minor|a Sangheili Minor]] disillusioned with 'Nyon's rebellion stole his half of the Janus Key and contacted 'Mdama's forces, offering them the key along with the location of 'Nyon's hideout.<ref name="HE15">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 15|Issue #15]]''</ref> A contingent of 'Mdama's troops met with the Minor, with Dr. Halsey personally verifying the artifact's authenticity. However, after 'Mdama redirected most of his forces elsewhere, three Spartan-IVs led by Commander [[Sarah Palmer]] ambushed the group. Halsey attempted to escape with the Janus Key half but she was taken captive by Palmer. However, the doctor was able to distract the Spartan commander, escaped with the artifact, and was picked up by one of 'Mdama's Phantoms. Now in possession of both halves of the Janus Key, 'Mdama and Halsey recombined the artifact, generating a holographic map to pinpoint the location of the Absolute Record.<ref name="HE16">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 16|Issue #16]]''</ref> | However, [[Unidentified Sangheili Minor|a Sangheili Minor]] disillusioned with 'Nyon's rebellion stole his half of the Janus Key and contacted 'Mdama's forces, offering them the key along with the location of 'Nyon's hideout.<ref name="HE15">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 15|Issue #15]]''</ref> A contingent of 'Mdama's troops met with the Minor, with Dr. Halsey personally verifying the artifact's authenticity.
