In [[2559#October|October 2559]], Blue Team, now wearing [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|GEN3 armor]], was sent to infiltrate the ruined [[CASTLE Base]] on [[Reach]] in search of assets kept by Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] in a secret cryovault, assets that held the key to defeating [[Cortana]]. Blue Team and the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s forces came up against the [[Banished]] who were occupying the planet while searching for the [[Menachite portal complex|Forerunner complex]] that Blue Team had found beneath CASTLE Base during the [[Fall of Reach]]. The conflict left Blue Team battered and with heavily damaged armor, but they succeeded in retrieving three [[cryobin]]s and a lockbox from the cryovault. However, by following Blue Team's trail, the Banished succeeded in finding the Forerunner complex and opening a [[slipspace portal]] to [[Installation 00|the Ark]], allowing [[Atriox]] to return to the Milky Way galaxy. While scouting the Forerunner complex, [[Fred-104]] encountered Blue Team's old friend [[Veta Lopis]], now undercover in the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]]. Lopis passed on a message to ONI through Fred, warning them of Atriox's return and the fact that the Keepers of the One Freedom, accompanied by the [[Ferret]]s, were heading to the Ark in order to fire the [[Halo Array]] and start the Great Journey.{{Ref/Novel|SoR}} The cryobins recovered by Blue Team contained Halsey's surviving [[flash cloning|cloned]] brains from the creation of Cortana, allowing her to create [[the Weapon]], an exact copy of Cortana whose mission was to imitate Cortana and lock her down for deletion.{{Ref/Game|Hi|Detail=[[Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Recovered Files|UNSC Audio log]]: Recovered Files}}{{Ref/Game|Hi}}

The original plan was to have Blue Team accompany [[John-117]] in the task of deploying the Weapon, however some time prior to [[Battle over Installation 07|the battle]] on [[Installation 07|Zeta Halo]], [[Catherine Halsey]] decided to split Chief off from Blue Team and [[Thomas Lasky]] assigned them to another classified operation, something that Halsey was less than pleased about as she had something in mind herself for them.{{Ref/Reuse|ia3}}
The original plan was to have Blue Team accompany [[John-117]] in the task of deploying the Weapon, however a day before the start of the mission, December 11, 2559, [[Catherine Halsey]] decided to split Chief off from Blue Team and [[Thomas Lasky]] assigned them to another classified operation, something that Halsey was less than pleased about as she had something in mind herself for them.{{Ref/Reuse|ia3}} The next day, December 12, Blue Team was onboard {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} when it was [[Battle over Installation 07|ambushed]] by [[Banished]] forces upon arrival at [[Installation 07]].{{Ref/Novel|RP|22}}{{Ref/Novel|RP|39}} With the ''Infinity'' taking heavy damage, Captain Lasky ordered the crew to abandon ship. While providing assistance in Lasky's safe evacuation and holding off assaliants in hangar bay, [[John-117]] was attacked and defeated by [[Atriox]] in hand to hand combat. The limp Spartan was thrown from the the hangar bay and into space. John ended up floating above Halo for six months, saved only by his armor's survival mode, and was presumed dead by both the UNSC and the Banished. Is unknown if [[Frederic-104]], [[Kelly-087]] and [[Linda-058]] survived the space battle or the following six-months long conflict on the ring, with some UNSC survivors questioning about their ultimate fate and hoping for their and Chief's return.{{Ref/Novel|RP|22}}
