| In [[2558#May|May 2558]], after a UNSC drone discovered the diseased corpses of several [[Kig-Yar]] in a laboratory on the unclaimed planet [[Ven III]], Admiral Osman briefed Lasky about the situation over [[Superluminal communications|remote communications]]. Osman explained that the Kig-Yar were killed by an unknown type of biological agent and that Lasky needs to contain the situation while exercising extreme caution before the weapon can be used against humanity. After the demise of the Kig-Yar in the lab, the UNSC observed a sole [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Storm|Storm]] exiting the structure wielding a mysterious canister—one that is likely to house the new bioweapon. The UNSC believed the Sangheili may be an agent of [[Jul 'Mdama]]. After Osman signs off, Lasky chose [[Gabriel Thorne]] and Naiya Ray for deployment on Ven III. Lasky debriefed the Spartans and ordered for Thorne and Ray to capture the Sangheili for interrogation. Lasky did not wish to deploy all of [[Fireteam Majestic]] as he must use the smallest team possible out of risk of alerting the target to the threat and losing him in Ven III's extensive tunnel systems. After the two Spartans were deployed to Ven III's surface, they lost communications with ''Infinity'' due to a jamming field located inside the planet's cave systems. Roland alerted Lasky about the communications blackout and suggested for ''Infinity'' to change course toward Ven III to provide backup for the ground team. Having been ordered to avoid direct engagement, Lasky instead had Roland summon Commander Palmer.<ref name="he11">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #11''</ref>
| | On [[2558#May|May 9, 2558]], Captain Lasky was tasked by Admiral Osman to investigate the unclaimed planet [[Ven III]] where a new bioweapon had broken out in a laboratory and killed several [[Kig-Yar]]. A single [[Sangheili]], believed to be an agent of [[Jul 'Mdama]], had exited the laboratory in possession of the bio-agent; Lasky was ordered to capture the Elite for interrogation before he could escape and the weapon could be used against humanity. Under strict orders to exercise extreme caution and use minimum force, Lasky chose to insert only two Spartans, [[Gabriel Thorne]] and [[Naiya Ray]], on Ven III.<ref name="he11">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 11|Issue #11]]''</ref> |

| On ''Infinity'', Lasky proposed for another two-man team to be sent to Ven III to backup Ray and Thorne, but Palmer insisted that they either deploy an entire Spartan team or do nothing. After Thorne was captured by the Sangheili and Ray's signal was terminated after she was ambushed by a Kig-Yar, Lasky ordered Roland to carry out the proposed course change and to call all teams on deck.<ref name="he11"/>
