Sometime later, Fireteam Majestic was being engaged by multiple [[Promethean Crawler]]s. [[Anthony Madsen]] started complaining about the Prometheans' ability to "pop up" anywhere, when a [[Promethean Knight]] translocated into the area and shot Madsen in the shoulder. Several others then translocated in the area and engaged Majestic. They survived the fight and were extracted back to ''Infinity''.<ref name="Ep2">'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Artifact (Spartan Ops)|Artifact]]''</ref>

Thorne later volunteered to guard [[Catherine Halsey|Doctor Catherine Halsey]] while she worked on the [[Requiem slipspace artifacts|Forerunner artifact]] recovered by Crimson. He questioned her about the use of children for the [[SPARTAN-II program]]. He also asked if she thought the [[SPARTAN-IV program|current generation of Spartans]] were capable of being true Spartans. He later told her why he joined the SPARTAN-IVs, expressing his guilt that he was not able to do anything to save his family and friends during the New Phoenix incident. When asked about the [[Promethean]]s, he told Dr. Halsey they were nothing but trouble.<ref name="hand"/>

Sometime during the operation in recovering the "[[Didact's Gift]]" from [[Galileo Base]], Majestic was pinned down due to [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] air support. With the base air defenses offline, Thorne quickly hijacked a low-flying [[Type-26 Banshee]] and destroyed a nearby [[Type-44 Phantom]] dropship, allowing the Fireteam to return to the ''Infinity''. As the device was being examined by Dr. Halsey and Roland, the matrix gave off an energy burst, it sent images of New Phoenix throughout the monitors within the room, which Thorne quickly recognized. He noticed that the translocation artifact appeared in one of the images; curious, he left the laboratory and later approached the artifact. Wondering how the artifact could have been present at New Phoenix prior to its discovery, Thorne touched it and was unexpectedly translocated to a Forerunner structure in [[the Cauldron]], where he was immediately surrounded by [[Sangheili Storm]] forces.<ref name="mori"/> Thorne put up a fight, managing to kill most of the Sangheili before being knocked unconscious. Coming to, he pretended to stay unconscious as the Covenant forces led him to their base. After arriving, Dr. [[Henry Glassman]]—who had escaped at the time—arrived at the front entrance. Thorne chose then to get up and kill his two Sangheili captors. When [[Gek 'Lhar]] remotely activated Glassman's plasma charge-rigged vest, Thorne quickly disposed of it and the two fled.<ref name="scattered">'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Scattered]]''</ref>

Gek quickly picked up their trail and pursued them. Some time later, Gek ambushed the pair as they were resting. Thorne quickly disarmed Gek of his [[Type-1 energy sword]] and engaged him in a close-quarters brawl. Gek, however, managed to gain the upper hand from Thorne after smashing a large rock over his chest and head. Just before Gek could kill Thorne, the rest of Fireteam Majestic arrived. DeMarco shot the Elite dead, saving Thorne's life. Afterwards, Thorne searched the dead Sangheili for anything significant, giving DeMarco the energy sword in gratitude, as well as Gek's personal collection of UNSC [[dog tag]]s.
