Lasky and Ray attacked a Covenant base and destroyed a [[pinch fusion reactor|reactor]], the source of the Covenant jamming signal. In the redoubt, Lydus continued to express his skepticism over whether the peace talk would succeed. Hood told him that the Jiralhanae would need Lydus as a leader if they were to survive. Scruggs suddenly appeared and held Hood at gunpoint, stating that he would reveal his demands once his associates arrived. The situation in orbit continued to worsen as Sangheili and Jiralhanae ships began to deploy forces against each other. Having cleared the communications interference, Lasky informed ''Infinity'' of the Covenant's attack. Upon being updated on the crisis between the Sangheili and Jiralhanae, Lasky contacted the fleets and asked them to cease their infighting and send their forces to the delegates' aid instead. However, both sides refused to listen to him while a massive Covenant force converged on the redoubt.<ref name="HE3">'''Halo: Escalation''' - ''Issue #3''</ref> | Lasky and Ray attacked a Covenant base and destroyed a [[pinch fusion reactor|reactor]], the source of the Covenant jamming signal.

In the redoubt, Scruggs continued to hold Hood hostage. He denied that he was working for the [[Insurrectionist]]s and indicated that he was aware of some of ONI's secrets. Palmer then shot Lord Hood in the leg, tackled Scruggs and, after a brief struggle, killed the rogue Spartan by stabbing him in the throat with a [[combat knife]]. With the Covenant bearing on the site in force, the group found [[Covenant cargo tug|a craft]] they could use to evacuate. DeMarco and Fireteam Bailey remained behind to cover the ambassadors' escape with a [[Type-38 Tyrant|Tyrant AA gun]] and they were killed when the Covenant destroyed the cannon. Thanks to their sacrifice, the delegation, Lasky and the surviving Spartans made it aboard ''Infinity'' which had managed to rally the Sangheili and Jiralhanae fleets, prompting 'Gajat's fleet to retreat.<ref name="HE3"/> | In the redoubt, Scruggs continued to hold Hood hostage.

Due to Shipmaster 'Gajat's attack, the negotiations were left in a standstill and little progress was made in furthering the peace between the Sangheili and the Jiralhanae. A funeral ceremony was held for the Spartans fallen in the battle, with an angry Palmer telling Lasky she wanted to be alone. One week later, Lasky and Hood discussed the troubling prospect that someone higher-ranked than Scruggs must have leaked the location of the negotiations, indicating a severe security breach in the UNSC's hierarchy.<ref name="HE3"/> | Due to Shipmaster 'Gajat's attack, the negotiations were left in a standstill and little progress was made in furthering the peace between the Sangheili and the Jiralhanae.
