Their partnership developed and both were eventually among the first recruits to join the [[SPARTAN-IV program]] during the program's inaugural class.<ref>[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/06/03/Halo-Initiation-Writer-Interview.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Halo Initiation Writer Interview'']</ref> Together they helped repel an [[Insurrectionist]] boarding attempt on ''Infinity'' prior to the [[Battle of Draetheus V]].<ref name="Avatar"/> When [[Ilsa Zane]] and a group of Insurrectionists [[Raid on UNSC Infinity|took control of]] ''Infinity'', Palmer and Davis were both on S-Deck, they chose their armor, Davis choosing a gold coloration of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Recruit|Recruit]] variant. When Zane noticed this she decompressed S-deck. Davis realized if Zane saw them coming she would do the same to other decks, killing more of the ship's crew. Palmer and Davis decided to move along the outside of the ship, Davis regretting that they didn't have jetpacks, Palmer suggested they should ask next time. When they reached the outside of the bridge, Palmer ordered him to take out the other 4 Insurrectionists while she engaged Zane. Davis initially complained until Palmer reminded him of Zane's Spartan-IV augmentations. Before breaking through the window, he bet her he could take out his 4 targets before she took out Zane, Palmer agreed to the bet. After they retook the bridge, Davis gloated how he won the bet, Palmer replying that she would beat him next time.<ref>'''Halo: Initiation''', ''Issue # 3''</ref>

In [[2554]],<ref name="catalog"/> he and Palmer were stationed on [[X50]], [[Draetheus V]]'s moon, when [[Merg Vol]]'s [[Merg Vol's Covenant|Covenant]] launched [[Battle of Draetheus V|an attack]] on the colony.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''' - ''[[Operation A: Umbra]]''</ref> Despite the efforts of the UNSC forces, the Covenant managed to surpass them in less than an hour.

When Merg Vol discovered that X50 was actually a [[Forerunner]] artifact capable of destroying planets and used it on Draetheus V, the artifact left the planet unstable and on the verge of collapse. Davis, with the help of several Marines and a handful of technicians, was able to disable the device,<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''' - ''[[Operation C: Monolith]]''</ref> but they were soon overcome by Covenant forces.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''' - ''[[Operation E: Frostbite]]''</ref>

Although the details surrounding his final moments are unclear, Davis supposedly entered a cave system known as the [[Cistern]], where he was killed. However, a [[Mind transfer|sublimation device]] present in the caverns absorbed his remains and the final impressions of his personality into a [[Durance]]. The UNSC and Covenant detected a signal from the Durance which led them back to the moon in search of the source. As the UNSC got closer, they began to detect parts of the transmission<ref>'''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]''' - ''[[Operation F: Hydra]]''</ref> which turned out to be Davis' last transmission for help before he died. Palmer recovered the Durance housing Davis' impressions and airlifted it away by [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]]. After determining what the device was, Palmer shut it down to give her friend peace.<ref name="Hydra"/><ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''' campaign level ''[[Mission 30: The Source|The Source]]''</ref>
