Grant was assigned to {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} along with Fireteam Majestic on February 8.<ref name="Departure"/> After ''Infinity'' arrived at [[Requiem]], Fireteams [[Fireteam Crimson|Crimson]] and Majestic were sent north of the UNSC's area of operations on Requiem in order to shut down Forerunner power generators. Initiated by [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Palmer]], the mission turned into a competition for the fireteams as to who could complete their mission objectives first. Majestic took the lead at first but were eventually beaten.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[The Challenge]]''</ref>


Sometime later Fireteam Majestic was engaged by [[Promethean Crawler]]s. [[Anthony Madsen|Madsen]] started to complain about their ability to "pop up" anywhere when a [[Promethean Knight]] [[Slipspace translocation|teleported]] into the area and shot him in the shoulder. [[Carlo Hoya|Hoya]] then broke cover to fight the Knight and was injured, needing to be brought back aboard Infinity.<ref name="Ep2">'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Artifact]]''</ref> Later, during Crimson and Majestic's pursuit of [[Jul 'Mdama]], Grant figured out that Covenant forces had been able to escape using portals, allowing Crimson to pursue 'Mdama through a portal.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Didact's Hand]]''</ref>
Shortly later, Grant and Majestic were involved in another engagement against [[Promethean Crawler]]s and [[Promethean Knight|Knights]]. After [[Carlo Hoya|Hoya]] was injured they returned to ''Infinity''.<ref name="Ep2">'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Artifact]]''</ref> Later, during Crimson and Majestic's pursuit of [[Jul 'Mdama]], Grant figured out that Covenant forces had been able to escape using [[portal]]s, allowing Crimson to pursue 'Mdama through a portal.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Didact's Hand]]''</ref> Majestic was then deployed to [[Galileo Base]] to retrieve the "[[Didact's Gift]]" from the area after Crimson had defended it from a Covenant assault force. Though attacked by [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] and [[Type-44 Phantom|Phantoms]], [[Gabriel Thorne|Thorne]] managed to hijack a Banshee and destroy a Phantom, giving Majestic time to exfiltrate.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Memento Mori]]''</ref>

When Thorne went missing the rest of Majestic set out to find him. They eventually found Thorne in the nick of time, with [[Paul DeMarco|DeMarco]] shooting [[Gek 'Lhar]] ('Mdama's second-in-command) right before the [[Sangheili|Elite]] could kill their comrade.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Expendable]]''</ref> Several skirmishes later, [[Thomas Lasky|Captain Lasky]] contacted Majestic via hologram and asked them to rescue [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] from Jul 'Mdama. When they arrived at Halsey's location Grant, Hoya, and Madsen took position above the entrance and waited for Thorne to signal to attack. When he did Grant yelled to the Elites to distract them; Majestic quickly opened fire on several Elites. Grant and the rest of Majestic showed up to help Thorne just as Promethean Knights teleported into the area and engaged them. 'Mdama managed to escape with Halsey just as Thorne and Palmer closed in on him.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Key]]''</ref>

Sometime later Commander Palmer and Majestic were ordered to deactivate one of the two [[Requiem translocation artifact|translocation artifacts]] binding ''Infinity'' to Requiem; Crimson was tasked with deactivating the other.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Exodus]]''</ref> Majestic faced significant Covenant resistance in deactivating their device. While making their way to the artifact Grant tossed a grenade that killed at least one Elite. Majestic succeeded in deactivating the artifact shortly after Crimson. While evacuating Grant co-piloted the Pelican with Commander Palmer, pointing out Crimson's Pelican that was just ahead of them. They arrived aboard ''Infinity'' at the same time as Crimson, allowing ''Infinity'' to narrowly escape.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Key#Closing cinematic|''Exodus Conclusion'']]</ref>
 
A short while later Majestic was attacked by Covenant forces.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''Episode 8, Chapter 1: "Unfinished Business"''</ref> DeMarco radioed in for reinforcements and Fireteams Crimson and [[Fireteam Kodiak|Kodiak]] were sent to destroy Covenant artillery firing on Majestic. When a Pelican arrived for evacuation Majestic was met by a life-size hologram of Captain [[Thomas Lasky]], who asked them to rescue [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] from Jul 'Mdama. When they arrived at Halsey's location Grant, Hoya, and Madsen took position above the entrance and waited for Thorne to signal to attack. When he did Grant yelled to the Elites to distract them; Majestic quickly opened fire on several Elites. Grant and the rest of Majestic showed up to help Thorne just as Promethean Knights teleoported into the area and engaged them. 'Mdama managed to escape with Halsey just as Thorne and Palmer closed in on him. When Palmer questioned why Majestic was there, DeMarco said Captain Lasky had wanted them to rescue Halsey.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Key]]''</ref>
 
Sometime later Commander Palmer and Majestic were ordered to deactivate one of the two [[Requiem translocation artifact|translocation artifacts]] still on Requiem; Crimson was tasked with deactivating the other. Before they left they witnessed the departure of the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]] fleet. When Requiem began to move towards the [[Epoloch system|local star]] Palmer hurried them toward the artifact.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Exodus]]''</ref> Majestic faced significant Covenant resistance in deactivating their device. While making their way to the artifact Grant tossed a grenade that killed at least one Elite. Shortly after Crimson deactivated their artifact, Majestic eliminated the last of the Elites defending the third artifact and deactivated it. While evacuating Grant co-piloted the Pelican with Commander Palmer, pointing out Crimson's Pelican that was just ahead of them. They arrived aboard ''Infinity'' at the same time as Crimson, allowing ''Infinity'' to narrowly escape.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Key#Closing cinematic|''Exodus Conclusion'']]</ref>

By March 22, Fireteam Majestic was stationed aboard the [[orbital defense platform]] ''[[Oaxaca Station]]'' while ''Infinity'' underwent repairs. Grant was unable to sleep well as the station did not feel home like ''Infinity''. She woke up Thorne, who was having nightmares about the [[Battle of Earth (2557)|attack on New Phoenix]] eight months ago, and the two discussed attending the reopening of [[New Phoenix]]. Thorne was at first reluctant to return to the city. However, Grant insisted that he visit his home and offered to accompany him as "backup", seeing as they had nothing to do for the next three weeks. Two days later, they attended New Phoenix's Rebirth ceremony presided by [[Unified Earth Government|UEG]] [[President of the Unified Earth Government|President]] [[Ruth Charet]]. Thorne then took Grant to [[Thorne family|his family]]'s home and showed her around.

While exploring the house, Thorne discovered a violin belonging to his grandmother. He concluded that his grandmother had been practicing it when the attack occurred. Distraught, Thorne decided he wanted to leave but Grant told him the story of how she was on her home planet when it [[Fall of Arcadia|fell]]. Grant told Thorne that he should be happy to still have a home to return to and that his dreams were trying to tell him to relieve all the pain he had inside. Grant then left Thorne as he decided to honor his family by playing his grandmother's violin. Three weeks later, they returned to ''Infinity'' and departed from Earth. Grant was able to sleep well again and Thorne was no longer having nightmares, thanks to Grant's support.<ref name="HE7">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #7''</ref>
