In July 16, 2558, the human colony of [[Oban]] was [[Battle of Oban|attacked]] by Jul 'Mdama's forces and his Promethean allies. During the battle Thorne was ambushed by a [[Promethean Knight]] but he was saved by Commander Palmer. With the Prometheans' presence, Palmer ordered all UNSC forces to search and find Jul 'Mdama. After [[Joel Thomas]] ordered an airstrike on two [[Type-44 Phantom]]s near Palmer's position, Palmer ordered Thorne to get to an [[M12 Warthog LRV]] and pursue the Phantoms, but they were ambushed and pursued by [[Promethean Crawlers]]. They dispatched several of the Crawlers and Palmer jumped out of a cliff, directly above the Phantoms. The Warthog landed on the ground, injuring Thorne, and the Phantoms prepared to shoot their [[heavy plasma cannon]]s at them. However, a [[GA-TL1 Longsword]] appeared, destroying both Phantoms, and saving Palmer's and Thorne's lives. Thorne returned to ''Infinity'' after the UNSC won the battle.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 13|Issue #13]]''</ref> | |||
After ''Infinity'' was stranded in an uncharted system, Thorne and Fireteam Majestic, led by Commander Palmer, were deployed to the planet [[Aktis IV]] to investigate a mysterious signal. After eliminating a small group of Covenant forces, they discovered a Forerunner structure and provided protection for [[Henry Glassman|Dr. Glassman]] as he arrived to investigate the site. Several hours later, Thorne was charged by Palmer with transporting the science equipment from an incoming [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] to the Forerunner structure. However, the Pelican was shot down by [[Sali 'Nyon]]'s [[Sali 'Nyon's Covenant faction|forces]], triggering a massive Covenant ambush which soon forced Thorne and the other Spartans to retreat into the Forerunner facility.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 14|Issue #14]]''</ref> | |||
