===Ealen IV=== | |||
{{Main|Battle of Ealen IV}} | |||
In March [[2558]], Following ''Infinity's'' return to [[Earth]] and Captain Lasky's hearing at the [[UNSC Security Council]], Roland interrupted Lasky's jogging session in ''Infinity'''s memorial park to notify him that [[Orbital Defense Command|Orbital Command]] alerted them of an inbound [[DS-004|diplomatic shuttle]]. Admiral Lord [[Terrence Hood]] arrived on ''Infinity'' to inform Lasky he needed ''Infinity'' to provide security on a diplomatic mission to [[Ealen IV]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''Issue #1''</ref> During the peace talks, ''Infinity'' lost communication from the surface of the planet. Unbeknownst to the bridge crew, the delegation had come under attack by [[Covenant remnant]] forces. When Lasky managed to reestablish communications, he told all fleets in orbit to direct their ships to the planet in order to save the delegation. The fleets rallied with ''Infinity'' and forced the Covenant mercenaries into retreat.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #3''</ref> | |||
===Freighter ambush=== | |||
Following the events on Ealen IV, Captain Lasky left ''Infinity'' to investigate the UNSC spy who leaked the location of the negotiations. Lord Hood remained onboard ''Infinity'' and requested a demonstration of ''Infinity's'' Forerunner engines. He asked Roland to plot a random vector with multiple headings but before Roland could, they were notified by lieutenant [[Jespersen]] of a distress signal near the [[Artesia-702 system]]. The exercise was scrapped and ''Infinity'' went to investigate. Arriving in the system on March 11, they found a damaged civilian [[freighter]], the ''[[Pilgrims Pride]]''. The freighter was tugged into one of ''Infinity's'' bays on Hood's order. An ambush was sprung when the freighter launched multiple assault crafts and set itself to self-destruct. With the help of Fireteams Majestic, [[Fireteam Colossus|Colossus]], and [[Fireteam Fenrir|Fenrir]], the attack was repelled and the freighter was tugged back into space before it could self-destruct on ''Infinity''. Following the skirmish, ''Infinity'''s after action teams discovered that the vessels used by the assailants belonged to a long-lost warship, the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. ''Infinity's'' crew were having Roland put together a report on the ship, however, Hood told them not to waste their time as he knew all about the ''Spirit''.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #3''</ref> | |||
