However, [[Unidentified Sangheili Minor|a Sangheili Minor]] disillusioned with 'Nyon's rebellion stole his half of the Janus Key and contacted 'Mdama's forces, offering them the key along with the location of 'Nyon's hideout.<ref name="HE15">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 15|Issue #15]]''</ref> A contingent of 'Mdama's troops met with the Minor, with Dr. Halsey personally verifying the artifact's authenticity. However, after 'Mdama redirected most of his forces elsewhere, three Spartan-IVs led by Commander [[Sarah Palmer]] ambushed the group. Halsey attempted to escape with the Janus Key half but she was taken captive by Palmer. However, the doctor was able to distract the Spartan commander, escaped with the artifact, and was picked up by one of 'Mdama's Phantoms. Now in possession of both halves of the Janus Key, 'Mdama and Halsey recombined the artifact, generating a holographic map to pinpoint the location of the Absolute Record.<ref name="HE16">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 16|Issue #16]]''</ref>

On [[2558#September|September 15, 2558]], hiding within the [[Urs system]], Halsey pinpointed the exact location of the Absolute Record. Two days later, as the fleet prepared to depart for the Absolute Record, a Phantom carrying Spartans Palmer, Thorne, [[Holly Tanaka]], Dr. Glassman, and [[Ayit 'Sevi]],boarded [[''Breath of Annihilation'']], intending to reveal the location of the Absolute Record to the UNSC. The fleet arrived at an artificial gas giant with a dormant [[slipspace]] portal opening due upon the close proximity of the Janus Key. Before the fleet could press forward, slipspace ruptures materialized around the fleet, destroying at least two ships and damaging ''Breath of Annihilation''.<ref name="HE19"> '''Halo Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 19|Issue 19]]''</ref> While Halsey and 'Mdama argued about the situation, she reminded him that once they reached the Absolute Record, they will discover technology beyond their comprehension that will do more than compensate for the ships that were destroyed. Halsey further exaggerated that once he was in control of the Absolute Record's "treasures", 'Mdama would be seen as a god. Thus 'Mdama decided to travel to the Absolute Record, with only [[''Song of Retribution'']] entering the portal while the rest made repairs. As ''Retribution'' entered the portal, 'Mdama learned of rumors of the Spartans attacking personnel of ''Annihilation''. Halsey dismissed 'Mdama's fears and stated that the Spartans could not stop them from reaching the Absolute Record, unaware that Palmer, Tanaka, and Glassman had boarded ''Retribution''. The carrier traveled through the portal and arrived at the Record where all the humans aboard were detected by a [[Contender-class artificial intelligence|Contender-class]] [[custodian]].<ref name="HE20"> '''Halo Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 20|Issue 20]]''</ref>
