The reconnaissance team deployed to the planet, provisionally designated [[Aktis IV]], to investigate a potential source of interference emanating from the surface. On an island in the middle of an ocean of a strange foamy substance, the Spartans discovered a Forerunner structure and Dr. Glassman was brought in to investigate. Glassman found an artifact that appeared to be compatible with the Janus Key and requested the UNSC's half of the Key to be brought to the surface for deeper analysis. In reality, the artifact was a decoy created by Halsey and 'Mdama to deceive the UNSC into taking their half of the Janus Key to the surface. While the Key was being prepared for transport, Roland questioned the decision to move the artifact to the surface as it may distract Glassman from his task of ascertaining the origin of the interference keeping ''Infinity'' stranded. However, Lasky was confident Palmer would be able to keep Glassman focused and believed taking the Key to the surface would not cost them anything either way.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 14|Issue #14]]''</ref> While updating Lasky on the status of the ground teams, Roland informed him that he could only contact Spartan [[Tedra Grant]]'s team, as Palmer had gone off on a mission of her own and had taken Spartans [[Gabriel Thorne]] and [[Naiya Ray]] with her.
