Five months after the [[Requiem Campaign]], Glassman continued his inspection of the Janus Key onboard the {{UNSCship|Infinity}}. At the same time, Dr. Halsey, who allied herself with Jul 'Mdama, plotted to acquire the other half of the Janus Key. She and 'Mdama constructed a decoy Forerunner artifact for ''Infinity'' to find on the surface of the planet [[Aktis IV]]. Upon its discovery, a deceived Dr. Glassman requested ''Infinity'' to transport the key down to the planet, to examine how the two artifacts would interact. Captain Lasky dispatched a Pelican and a Broadsword to deliver the key to the site. As the aircraft approached their destination, they were both shot down by Covenant anti-air artillery. The attack, however, was not issued on Jul 'Mdama's order. The premature attack was instead carried out by [[Sali 'Nyon's Covenant faction|defectors of 'Mdama's own faction]]. ''Infinity's'' half of the Janus Key immediately fell into the hands of Jul 'Mdama's leading detractor, a self-proclaimed Sangheili prophet named [[Sali 'Nyon]].<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 14|Issue #14]]''</ref> | |||
