Jul 'Mdama, believing to have obtained the [[Janus Key|artifact]] they sought, put Requiem on a collision course with the sun, with the Infinity anchored to the planet. Fireteams [[Fireteam Majestic|Majestic]] and [[Fireteam Crimson|Crimson]] were sent off two artifacts that kept the ship anchored, while [[Henry Glassman]] deactivated the [[Requiem translocation artifact|third]] one aboard the Infinity.
