Upon returning to Earth, Lasky was requested to appear before the [[UNSC Security Council]] at [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]]. He and Palmer were debriefed about the [[Second Battle of Requiem]]. Admiral Serin Osman berated him regarding the complete destruction of Requiem and the failed assassination of Dr. Halsey. Palmer defended Lasky's actions in order to spare him of any ramifications. Shortly after, Lasky met with [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] who pulled ''Infinity'' away from the pursuit of 'Mdama in order for it to partake in a more pressing matter. Lasky accompanied Hood on a diplomatic mission to [[Ealen IV]] to provide security in peace talks between [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] and [[Jiralhanae]] [[Chieftain]] [[Lydus]]. During the negotiations, [[Vata 'Gajat's mercenary group|Covenant mercenaries]] attacked the delegates. Lasky and the Spartan-IVs defended the delegation and evacuated them from the chamber. When their evacuation ship was destroyed, they proceeded to escort the delegates to a nearby parts depot. With communications to their ships having been blocked, they were left without any reinforcements.<ref name="HE1">'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 1|Issue #1]]''</ref> | Upon returning to Earth, Lasky was requested to appear before the [[UNSC Security Council]] at [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]].

Lasky ordered Palmer and the protection detail to escort the delegation to a fortified redoubt, while he would try to reestablish communications with the fleet orbiting Ealen IV. Palmer refused to let him go alone and tasked [[Naiya Ray|Spartan Ray]] of [[Fireteam Jackknife]] to escort the captain and utilize her SIGINT background. As they searched the facility, hoping to find the old Covenant network and utilize the facility's transponders to triangulate the source of a jammer, Lasky and Ray were attacked by a [[Sangheili Warrior]].

As they searched the facility, hoping to find the old Covenant network and utilize the facility's transponders to triangulate the source of a jammer, Lasky and Ray were attacked by a [[Sangheili Warrior]]. Upon eliminating the Elite, Ray discovered that the network itself was responsible for the jamming and informed Lasky that she could track the source of its power. After securing a pair of [[Banshee]]s, they observed Covenant ships take off towards the redoubt.<ref name="escalation2"/> | ||
Ray and Lasky attacked a Covenant base and destroyed the source of the Covenant jamming signal. Once the communications interference was cleared, Lasky contacted ''Infinity'' and told them about the Covenant attack. [[Bradley|Commander Bradley]] informed him of the situation between the feuding Jiralhanae and Sangheili ships in orbit. Lasky told him to patch him through to the fleets and ordered them to cease their infighting and direct their ships to the planet in order to save the delegation.<ref name="HE3">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 3|Issue #3]]''</ref> | Ray and Lasky attacked a Covenant base and destroyed the source of the Covenant jamming signal.
