Sometime after the | Sometime after the Requiem Campaign, Palmer transferred DeMarco to [[Fireteam Bailey]] and put Thorne in command of Fireteam Majestic, which led to the death of DeMarco in the [[Battle of Ealen IV]]. In March 11, 2558, six days after DeMarco's death, Thorne and the rest of Fireteam Majestic were deployed along Fireteams [[Fireteam Colossus|Colossus]] and [[Fireteam Fenrir|Fenrir]] to repel an attack to the ''Infinity'' and prevent the [[freighter]] ''[[Pilgrims Pride]]'' from self-destructing on the ship. Leading the fireteams, Thorne ordered teams Colossus and Fenrir to secure the ship while Majestic made their way to the core. As the Spartans advance through the freighter, they encountered [[M202 XP machine gun|automated defense turrets]]. With the enemy going into retreat, the freighter was tugged out into space, where Grant ejected the ship's core before it exploded. The Spartans survived the detonation and requested extraction.<ref name="Escalation #4"/> | ||
Following the attack, ''Infinity'' learned that the assault crafts from the freighter belonged to the long-lost {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. Roland discovered that the freighter was launched near [[Oth Lodon]], a gas giant located deep in Jiralhanae space. With the Spirit's possible location found, Lord Hood authorized Commander Palmer to conduct a search and rescue mission. Equipped with [[OF92 Booster Frame]]s, Fireteam Majestic and Palmer scouted the planet's system. During the expedition, Thorne asked Madsen to restrain himself from pushing the limits of his booster frame. Madsen retorted that Palmer was in command, at which point Palmer told him to listen to Thorne as leader of Majestic. Exploring the system's asteroid field, the Spartans came across not the ''Spirit of Fire'' but instead a [[Oth Lodon station|Covenant station]] under control by [[New Colonial Alliance]] insurgents.<ref name="HE5">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 5|Issue #5]]''</ref> | Following the attack, ''Infinity'' learned that the assault crafts from the freighter belonged to the long-lost {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}.

By March 22, Fireteam Majestic was stationed aboard the [[orbital defense platform]] ''[[Oaxaca Station]]'' over Earth while ''Infinity'' underwent repairs. Aboard the station, Thorne was having problems sleeping due to nightmares about the [[New Phoenix Incident|attack on New Phoenix]] eight months ago and the death of his grandmother. He was awoken by Grant—who was unable to fall asleep herself, as she does not feel at home—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, on March 24, 2558, 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.<ref name="Escalation #7"/> | By March 22, Fireteam Majestic was stationed aboard the [[orbital defense platform]] ''[[Oaxaca Station]]'' over Earth while ''Infinity'' underwent repairs.

The conflict continued for over seven hours, with ''Infinity'' engaged by 'Mdama's fleet while Sali 'Nyon's rebellion raged on in the Covenant's ranks. Palmer, Majestic, and Glassman barricaded themselves inside the Forerunner structure from Jul's forces. Hoya got separated from the group but eventually discovered Dr. Halsey near a Phantom. He immediately notified Ray who then notified Palmer. Glassman then opened the teleportation grid. He told Palmer he could open a portal to the other end of the island, but Palmer asked him if one of the portals could be opened inside the jungle. Glassman affirms that was possible and Palmer ordered him to open both portals. Palmer split the Spartans into two groups taking Thorne and Ray with her through one portal while the other group with Glassman used the other. Palmer, Thorne and Ray scouted the jungle when they spotted a Sangheili Minor in a Ghost. Ray managed to intercept the Minor's transmission. The Minor contacted a Zealot of Jul's Covenant and told him he wanted to rejoin 'Mdama, having reached the conclusion that Jul was the true Didact's Hand because the Prometheans would never obey an impostor. He then revealed he had the half of the Janus Key stolen by 'Nyon, and he would lead them to 'Nyon's hideout. The Zealot ordered him to conceal himself until they arrived and established a rendezvous point. Thorne and Ray prepared to ambush the Minor but Palmer ordered them to stop. Both Spartans questioned her order, pointing out that they could easily take the Janus Key from the Sangheili before Halsey arrived with a greater force. However, Palmer stated that the Minor would lead them to Halsey and that it was time the Doctor got caught in her own trap.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 15|Issue #15]]''</ref> | The conflict continued for over seven hours, with ''Infinity'' engaged by 'Mdama's fleet while Sali 'Nyon's rebellion raged on in the Covenant's ranks.

A convoy of Phantoms and Wraiths escorting Halsey to the Minor's location soon arrived. The Sangheili Minor gave Halsey his half of the Janus Key, and all vehicles—except for a Phantom and Wraith—were recalled to different parts of the island. As Halsey and the remaining Covenant soldiers prepared to depart for ''[[Song of Retribution]]'', the Spartans ambushed them. While the Thorne and Ray battled the Sangheili Zealots guarding the Phantom, Halsey was escorted into the forest by a lone Zealot. Palmer ordered Thorne and Ray to finish off the remaining Zealots, while she pursued Halsey and her guard. Palmer ultimately failed, and Halsey and Jul's Covenant fled the planet with both halves of the Janus Key. After all UNSC forces on Aktis IV returned to ''Infinity'', Thorne and Ray were furious about Palmer's behavior on the planet, a fact that Lasky brought to Palmer's attention.<ref name="HE16">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 16|Issue #16]]''</ref> | |||
