Upon arriving in the hanger, Crimson discovered that it was occupied by enemy reinforcements, but was able to clear them out. As it appeared that they had won, more reinforcements arrived, including six Hunters. Despite massive odds, Crimson was able to kill the Covenant forces and secure the hanger bay. A pleased Miller announced that Crimson had secured that part of ''Infinity'' and they would win the invasion yet.<ref name="Victory">'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Invasion/Victory Lap|S107 ''Victory Lap'']]</ref> | Upon arriving in the hanger, Crimson discovered that it was occupied by enemy reinforcements, but was able to clear them out.

Racing through the chaos of the invasion, [[Captain]] [[Thomas Lasky]] and Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]] were able to link up with [[Commander]] [[Sarah Palmer]] and make their way to the ''Infinity'' bridge. Upon arrival, Lasky ordered [[Lieutenant]] [[James (lieutenant)|James]] to take the ''Infinity'' far enough out of [[Requiem]]'s orbit that the [[Promethean]]s couldn't teleport onboard, but James warned that the controls weren't responding and the ship was locked in position. [[Roland]] informed Lasky that [[Requiem slipspace artifacts|the artifact]] was acting as a [[slipspace]] anchor [[interdiction web|holding the ship in place]] and preventing them from escaping. As Palmer angrily turned on Halsey for not getting them free of the artifact days before, a [[Promethean Knight]] teleported onto the bridge, knocked Palmer down and grabbed Halsey, using her as a human shield against Lasky. The Knight teleported away with Halsey and Palmer and Lasky realized that the entire invasion was for the purpose of capturing Halsey. | |||
With Halsey in their custody and having suffered massive casualties, the Covenant and Prometheans ended their invasion and retreated.<ref name="Expendable" /> | |||
