On ''Infinity'', Lasky proposes they send in another two-man team as backup for Ray and Thorne, but Palmer insists that they either deploy an entire Spartan team or do nothing. However, she believes Lasky to be incapable of the latter; the captain reproves her about this, stating that she should know him better than that due to their experiences together over the past year. Roland then receives a transmission from Ray, who is giving chase to Thorne's captor and has now moved out of reach of the communications jammer. She enters a deep subterranean tunnel where she discovers an enormous cavern filled with Covenant vessels and vehicles; the cave is revealed to be a major hideout for [[pirate]]s. Ray estimates the Jackals' numbers to be in the hundreds of thousands as opposed to UNSC intelligence's estimate of hundreds. There are [[black market]] arms dealers and slavers selling captives from Covenant fringe worlds—including [[human]]s, [[Unggoy]] as well as aliens of an unidentified human-like species. Ray then spots the Sangheili she was pursuing and a Kig-Yar carrying Thorne's unconscious body into a bay. However, a Jackal sneaks up on Ray and her signal terminates. Palmer asks Lasky whether he will heed her advice now; Lasky orders Roland to carry out the proposed course change and call all teams on deck. | On ''Infinity'', Lasky proposes they send in another two-man team as backup for Ray and Thorne, but Palmer insists that they either deploy an entire Spartan team or do nothing.

==Mistakes== | |||
*The Jackal Ray kills near the beginning of the issue is drawn holding a [[Type-51 carbine]] in the first panel in which he appears, yet he is consistently shown wielding a [[Type-50 particle beam rifle]] in subsequent panels. | |||
*The Unggoy prisoners shown near the end of the issue lack any apparent breathing apparatus. The same mistake was made in [[Halo: Escalation Issue 5#Mistakes|Issue 5]]. | |||
