History[edit]
Requiem Campaign[edit]
Sometime before February 2558, Fireteam Majestic, minus Gabriel Thorne, were deployed to Rio de Janeiro where they prevented a Sangheili terrorist attack on the city with a HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon.[2]
On February 7, upon the UNSC Infinity's arrival at Requiem, Commander Sarah Palmer assigned the squad to Operation: LAND GRAB and Operation: ALL-SEEING EYE, both geared toward securing locations for research bases.[4] Two days later, Fireteams Crimson and Majestic were sent north of the UNSC's area of operations on Requiem in order to shut down Forerunner power generators as part of Operation: CHATTERBOX.[4] Upon reaching their location, both Crimson and Majestic had their long-range communications jammed by Forerunner jamming devices. After deactivating the jammers, their mission continued. Initiated by Palmer, the mission became a competition for the fireteams to see who could complete their mission objectives first. Majestic took the lead at first, but were ultimately bested by Crimson.[2]
On February 10, Majestic and Crimson were deployed by Commander Palmer to assault a outpost controlled by Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and recover a Forerunner artifact as part of Operation: ACADEMIC. The next day, Majestic partook in Operation: THREE-CARD MONTE: with support by Tower, Castle and Domino Teams, they were tasked with a search-and-destroy mission against 'Mdama's Covenant outposts at locations REQ-822-A, REQ-822-B, REQ-822-C, and REQ-822-D.[4]
During a ground engagement on Requiem, Fireteam Majestic was being engaged by multiple Promethean Crawlers. Madsen started to complain about their ability to "pop up" anywhere, when a Promethean Knight teleported into the area. Thorne tried to warn Madsen, but he was shot in the shoulder, as more Knights entered the area. Hoya suddenly broke cover and charged at the Knights. While DeMarco yelled for him to get back into cover, he killed several before one managed to injure him. Nevertheless, Majestic managed to defeat the Knights and return back to the Infinity. Commander Palmer met them in the hangar to see how they had done.[5]
Madsen and DeMarco were later assigned to guard Catherine Halsey along with Commander Sarah Palmer upon her return to the Infinity. Later, Thorne volunteered to guard her during her research.[6] During the UNSC's pursuit of Jul 'Mdama, Fireteams Crimson and Majestic were sent to two possible locations to search for him. Majestic engaged a large force from 'Mdama's faction and managed to corner them before the survivors mysteriously disappeared. Grant would soon figure out that they used Slipspace translocation to escape, which allowed Crimson to find a way to pursue 'Mdama.[7]
