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]]. 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>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''Issue #2''</ref> | 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.

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's attack.

[[Bradley (commander)|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. | ||
Lasky then contacted Palmer and informed her of the Covenant cruisers en-route to their site. With reinforcements too far way to help, Lasky was forced to make a costly decision. He ordered Palmer to evacuate the delegates on a small transport craft while [[Paul DeMarco]]'s team stayed back and operated an [[Type-38 Tyrant|anti-aircraft cannon]]. DeMarco and [[Fireteam Bailey]] provided cover long enough for the delegates to escape but were subsequently killed when their cannon was obliterated. Lasky later presided over a memorial service aboard ''Infinity'' where he commemorated their sacrifices.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #3''</ref> | Lasky then contacted Palmer and informed her of the Covenant cruisers en-route to their site.
