Following the [[battle of Oban|Battle]] of [[Oban]] the ''Infinity'' made a slipspace jump to [[Galileo II]]. However the ship suddenly reappeared in an [[asteroid]] belt, colliding with an asteroid and causing some damage inside the ship. Roland informed Lasky of what occurred and ran a damage assessment. The ''Infinity'' jumped to slipspace again, only to reappear a quarter of a kilometer of her last position. Roland told Captain Lasky that it was not advisable to make another jump. Lasky orderws Palmer and Dr. Glassman to go to ''Infinity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s engine room. Dr. Glassman discovered the ''Infinity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s slipspace drive was overriding any coordinate except the one of the location in which they were, sticking the ship in a "Slipspace Cul-de-sac". In that moment, Roland found an unusual energy reading coming from the equator of an uncharted planet near their position. Glassman and Lasky supposed that the location was the source of the problem and Palmer ordered to gather a team and send them with Dr. Glassman to the planet.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 13|Issue #13]]''</ref> | Following the [[battle of Oban|Battle]] of [[Oban]] the ''Infinity'' made a slipspace jump to [[Galileo II]].

The reconnaissance team deployed to the planet to, provisionally designated [[Aktis IV]], to investigate a potential source of interference emanating from the surface. The mysterious signal originates from an island in a large ocean of an opaque, foamy substance impenetrable to ''Infinity'''s sensors. Upon landing, Fireteam Majestic and Commander Palmer engaged and defeated a detachment of Covenant forces and subsequently discovered a recently-excavated Forerunner structure. Dr. Glassman arrived on the surface of Aktis IV to examine the Forerunner structure, with the Spartans providing cover. Glassman theorized the structure to be part of a translocation grid and soon discovered a Forerunner artifact with indentations the shape of the halves of the Janus Key, seemingly suggesting this is where the Key was meant to be placed. However, it was revealed that Halsey and 'Mdama were monitoring the events and that the artifact was in fact a decoy created to deceive the UNSC into taking their half of the Janus Key to the surface. Glassman requested to have lab equipment brought to the Forerunner site along with the UNSC's half of the Janus Key in order to analyze the artifact; Palmer reluctantly agreed and contacted Lasky. While the Janus Key was being prepared for transport, Roland questioned the decision to move the artifact to the surface as it may distract Glassman from his task of ascertain the origin of the interference keeping ''Infinity'' stranded. However, Lasky was confident Palmer would be able to keep Glassman focused and believed taking the Key to the surface would not cost them anything either way.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 14|Issue #14]]''</ref> | |||
