Later, DeMarco and Madsen were assigned to guard Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] while she was brought aboard ''Infinity'' to inspect a Forerunner [[Requiem slipspace artifacts|artifact]] Crimson had recently secured from "[[the Cauldron]]". On the way to the engine room, DeMarco questioned why they needed to guard an "old lady". Madsen informed him of Halsey's role in the [[SPARTAN-II program]] (calling her a "mad scientist") and the abduction of children for military training. After the artifact reacted as Halsey interacted with the engine room's controls, DeMarco, Palmer, and Madsen brandished their weapons against Halsey, but soon lowered them as she was a not a threat.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Catherine]]''</ref> | Later, DeMarco and Madsen were assigned to guard Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] while she was brought aboard ''Infinity'' to inspect a Forerunner [[Requiem slipspace artifacts|artifact]] Crimson had recently secured from "[[the Cauldron]]".

Sometime during the operation in recovering the "[[Didact's Gift]]" from [[Galileo Base]], DeMarco and his team became pinned down by [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]] air support while en route to a [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] transport. DeMarco attempted to have the team make a run for the Pelican, but was told by Madsen that the risky maneuver might kill them all. As DeMarco tried to think of another plan, Thorne quickly hijacked a low-flying [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshee]], much to DeMarco's dismay.

When Thorne later went missing, DeMarco and the rest of Majestic set out to find him. DeMarco eventually saved Thorne in the nick of time, shooting [[Gek 'Lhar]] right before the Elite was able to execute the Spartan.

By [[2558#March|March | By [[2558#March|March 5]], Palmer had given DeMarco command of [[Fireteam Bailey]] so Gabriel Thorne could lead Fireteam Majestic.{{Ref/Reuse|Escalation #4}} Fireteams Bailey and [[Fireteam Jackknife|Jackknife]] were assigned to escort and provide security for [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] and [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] on a diplomatic mission to [[Ealen IV]]. While Commander Palmer and Fireteam Jackknife accompanied the delegates, DeMarco and the rest of Bailey stayed back to act as [[overwatch]]. As Hood and 'Vadam were negotiating with the [[Jiralhanae]] [[Chieftain]] [[Lydus]], Covenant mercenaries broke into the chamber and attacked the delegates. Despite facing heavy resistance from Covenant forces, Fireteam Bailey cleared a path for the delegates and escorted them to a nearby parts depot. Once everyone was inside, DeMarco sealed the depot to halt the oncoming Covenant forces.<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 1|Issue #1]]''</ref> | ||

Soon after their escape, they were intercepted by a Covenant [[Kmiro'sish-pattern Lich|Lich]]. After a brief skirmish with the Covenant leading to the destruction of the Lich, DeMarco and Bailey stayed with the delegation as Fireteam Jackknife and the delegation's bodyguards left to ensure that the redoubt was safe to use as shelter.<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 2|Issue #2]]''</ref> | ||

While the ambassadors escaped aboard a [[Covenant cargo tug]], DeMarco and the other members of his fireteam manned [[Cheru-pattern Tyrant|anti-air cannons]] to cover their retreat; a [[Type-26 Banshee|Type-26A Banshee]] subsequently obliterated the emplacement manned by DeMarco with its [[fuel rod cannon]], killing him. DeMarco's sacrifice and that of the other Spartans killed on Ealen IV were commemorated at a memorial service aboard ''Infinity''.<ref name="esc3">'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 3|Issue #3]]''</ref> | ||
