Back on Ven III, Thorne and Ray enter a Covenant structure after observing it for some time. Just as they make it inside, they are ambushed by the Elite and a contingent of Jackals. However, the Spartans escape the structure using [[Spartan abilities|armor-integrated thrusters]] and engage their attackers. During the skirmish, the Sangheili attaches [[Shock device|a device]] on Thorne's [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Recruit|armor]] which knocks the Spartan unconscious. The Elite takes Thorne aboard his [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghost]] and escapes.

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 pirate hideout filled with Covenant vessels and vehicles, including [[Lich]]es, [[Phantom]]s, [[Wraith]]s, [[Spirit]]s and a single {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}}. 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 the [[Covenant fringe]]—including humans, [[Unggoy]] as well as [[:File:HE Slavers.jpg|unidentified humanoids]] (seemingly [[Yonhet]]). 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.
