A little less than three weeks prior to the Guardians' awakenings, Halsey managed to contact the UNSC once more, this time reaching out to Captain [[Thomas Lasky]] of the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} with coordinates where she could be found.<ref name="H5GO"/><ref name="H5GBT">''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', ''[[Blue Team (level)|Blue Team]]''</ref> For months she had been ostensibly working alongside [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] [[ | A little less than three weeks prior to the Guardians' awakenings, Halsey managed to contact the UNSC once more, this time reaching out to Captain [[Thomas Lasky]] of the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} with coordinates where she could be found.<ref name="H5GO"/><ref name="H5GBT">''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', ''[[Blue Team (level)|Blue Team]]''</ref> For months she had been ostensibly working alongside [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] [[Supreme Leader]] [[Jul 'Mdama]].<ref>''[[Halo 4]]'' ''[[Spartan Ops]]'', ''[[S1/Exodus|Exodus]]''</ref> She had led him to the planet [[Kamchatka]], where there was a node linking to the Domain.<ref name="HW">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/kamchatka '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Kamchatka'']</ref> Despite being hampered by the Covenant forces' preoccupation with ceremony, Halsey led them to penetrate a structure which was a focal point for at least one signal she was tracking.<ref name=H5GMIO>''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', ''[[Osiris (level)|Osiris]]'' [[Mission Intel]]</ref> Within, she discovered the glyph that meant "Guardian", unbeknownst to her at the time. Halsey hesitated to call the signals messages, as they were more akin to echolocation. She had some difficulty determining whether [[Cortana]] was bouncing signals off of the Kamchatka node and other related sites or trying to access them directly. Halsey eventually figured out how to disable Kamchatka's native defenses, but in doing so triggered an alert that summoned hostile Promethean forces within the hour.<ref name=H5GMIO/> Now sure that the large-scale seismic events were being caused by something [[Forerunner]] in origin and convinced that Halsey could provide key information, it was into an ongoing battle between the Covenant and Prometheans that ''Infinity'' deployed [[Fireteam Osiris]] to rescue the doctor.<ref name="H5GO"/> The mission was successful in that in not only returned Halsey to the UNSC, but also resulted in the death of 'Mdama at the hands of [[Jameson Locke]].<ref name="H5GO"/> | ||
