TJ Murphy: Difference between revisions

{{Main|Requiem Campaign}}

During the Requiem Campaign, Murphy, along with the rest of [[Icebreaker squad]], was listed as MIA. They had been captured by [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant forces]] and were imprisoned in the same detention facility as [[Fireteam Crimson]]. While Crimson was escaping, [[Roland]] picked up Icebreaker's signal and Crimson freed them. Murphy helped Crimson by remotely taking over a nearby [[Type-44 Phantom|Phantom]] and later piloting it for them through various missions in Covenant territory.<ref name="Scattered" />

Sometime later, a Covenant/[[Promethean]] force [[Invasion of the UNSC Infinity|attacked]] the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, causing [[Thomas Lasky|Captain Lasky]] to recall all Spartan forces. Crimson and Murphy encountered heavy Covenant/Promethean resistance. Murphy eventually delivered [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Armor Defense System|Mantises]] to support Crimson, allowing them to secure a landing zone.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''Episode 7, Chapter 1: "Backup"''</ref> On their way back to ''Infinity'', the ship's automated defense system auto-targeted their Phantom.  Despite Murphy's evasive maneuvers, the Phantom took a direct hit, lost control, and subsequently crashed into one of ''Infinity'''s hangars. Murphy survived the crash but was stuck inside the downed Phantom. Miller ordered Roland to send an extraction team for Murphy, but couldn't get through to the AI.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''Episode 7, Chapter 2: "Home Field"''</ref> Eventually, Murphy was rescued or managed to escape on his own.
