{{Main|Installation 07 conflict}} | |||
On December 12, 2559, Fireteam Taurus, composed of Hudson Griffin, Bertold Vettel, Oshiro, and Dimka, was onboard {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} when it was ambushed by [[Banished]] forces upon arrival at [[Installation 07]]. Fireteam | |||
Taurus was pinned down by Banished boarders when [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]], while escorting [[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] [[Thomas Lasky]] off the ship, arrived to help.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Infinity's Approach 2|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Infinity's Approach #08 - Losing Ground}}{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Infinity's Approach 2|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Infinity's Approach #09 - Taurus}} Taurus then assisted in escorting Captain Lasky to his lifeboat.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Infinity's Approach 2|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Infinity's Approach #12 - Abandon Ship}} Fireteam Taurus evacuated on ''[[Victor 321]]'', and, under the leadership of Spartan [[Hudson Griffin]], the Pelican changed its landing zone to an area south of the [[Silent Auditorium (location)|Silent Auditorium]], where the Banished deployed three anti-air artilleries to fire at UNSC crafts.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Ringfall 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Ringfall #05 - Priority One}}{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Evacuation 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Evacuation #03 - Touchdown}} With sniper support from Spartan [[Nina Kovan]],{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Evacuation 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Evacuation #05 - Overwatch}} Taurus disabled two Banished artilleries, and witnessed an explosion on the ring fragmenting its surface.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Ringfall 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Ringfall #05 - Run and Guns}} | |||
By December 18, at least two members of Fireteam Taurus, Griffin and Vettel, have rendezvoused with other UNSC forces at the wreckage of {{UNSCShip|Mortal Reverie}}, which had been found by Spartan [[Vedrana Makovich]] and designated as a UNSC base of operations.{{Ref/Game|Id=hafh|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Reverie 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Reverie #01 - Home Away From Home}} | |||
On January 23, [[2560]], Spartan Griffin led Spartans [[Panago]], Malik, and [[Sarkar]] in an assassination mission on the Banished [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]]. Griffin left Vettel in charge of the UNSC forces at ''Reverie''.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Retaliation 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Retaliation #02 - Those Left Behind}} However, the assassination on Escharum failed. Griffin sent an encrypted message to the ''Reverie'' on January 31 before he was captured and handed over to [[Chak 'Lok]] for torture. In his message, Griffin warned the ''Reverie'' of an impending Banished assault.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Retaliation 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Retaliation #05 - Encroachment}} Under the combined leadership of Vettel and counsel of Makovich, the UNSC forces at the ''Reverie'' braced for the Banished's attack.{{Ref/Game|Id=dtl|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Retaliation 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Retaliation #06 - Drawing the Line}} Despite the preparations, the Banished assault under Chieftain [[Tremonius]] proved to be too much, and on February 2, 2560, Vettel made the difficult choice to abandon their position, knowing that it meant the end of organized UNSC resistance on the Ring.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Retaliation 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Retaliation #08 - The Retreat}} | |||
Over the next month, the UNSC lost all remaining Forward Operating Bases on the fragmented section of the ring. On March 3, 2560, Vettel regrouped with Spartans Makovich, [[Bonita Stone]], and [[Theodore Sorel]], and a few dozen marines. They decided to enact the [[Rubicon Protocol]]: stop or slow the Banished by any means necessary and keep Zeta Halo out of their control.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Scattered 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Scattered #01 - Rubicon Protocol}} | |||
On April 23, Vettel ambushed a Banished patrol and interrogated them about the whereabouts of other survivors.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Scattered 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Scattered #03 - Inquries}} Six days later, on April 29, Vettel tracked down Griffin's last known location before his capture by Escharum. He correctly deduced that Griffin had been taken to [[Chak 'Lok]]'s [[Tower]]. Vettel formulated a plan to take a transport skiff and slip through the defenses.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Scattered 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Scattered #06 - Holding On}} However, Vettel failed to rescue Griffin. Griffin, seemingly the only surviving member of Taurus, would remain under Chak 'Lok's custody until John-117 freed him on May 28. Griffin died of his injuries in the Master Chief's arms after warning him that the Banished were after the [[Conservatory (location)|Conservatory]].{{Ref/Level|Id=tower|HINF|The Tower}} | |||
