In [[2558#October|October 2558]], Halsey's usefulness to 'Mdama was rapidly drawing to a close. Realizing that her demise was certain if she continued to remain in his Covenant, Halsey led 'Mdama and his followers to the frigid Forerunner world of [[Kamchatka]]. Unbeknownst to 'Mdama, the trip to Kamchatka was actually a trap set by Halsey, who had contacted the UNSC and established a plan to rendezvous with the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} in order to escape 'Mdama's Covenant, motivated also by the growing threat of [[Cortana]]. By this point, 'Mdama's Covenant had started to fracture, due to his former Promethean allies turning against him.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | In [[2558#October|October 2558]], Halsey's usefulness to 'Mdama was rapidly drawing to a close.

[[Fireteam Osiris]] soon arrived on Kamchatka, having been deployed by ''Infinity'' to rescue Halsey and assassinate 'Mdama. After the Spartans succeeded in fighting their way through Covenant and Promethean forces battling their own war across the world's surface, Osiris located Halsey and 'Mdama at a temple where the frustrated 'Mdama was attempting to have Halsey access the [[Forerunner]] [[Domain]] without success. 'Mdama and his Zealot guards engaged the Spartans in a close-quarters fight with 'Mdama himself battling Spartan [[Jameson Locke]] using an energy sword.
