With the ''Spirit'''s possible location found, Palmer expresses that the ship might not even be there and that it might be a trap. Lord Hood authorized Palmer to conduct a search-and-rescue mission without being detected. Equipped with [[OF92 Booster Frame]]s, Palmer and Fireteam Majestic scouted Oth Lodon's system. Exploring an asteroid field, the Spartans came across not the ''Spirit of Fire'' but instead an {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} docked at a [[Oth Lodon station|Covenant station]]. Palmer restored communications to inform ''Infinity'' about the discovery. | With the ''Spirit'''s possible location found, Palmer expresses that the ship might not even be there and that it might be a trap.

Expecting this, Clayton opens a channel to ''Infinity''. Talking to Hood, he identifies him as being the one who sent his mother and him money because he was the one responsible for the ''Spirit'''s disappearance. Upset at feeling like he never accomplished anything, he turned to Admiral Mattius Drake when he offered him an opportunity. Revealing that he had intended for Spartan [[Vladimir Scruggs]] to kill Hood on Ealen IV, he announced that he lured ''Infinity'' to the station to kill Hood. He ordered the station's [[energy projector|glassing cannon]] to fire on ''Infinity'', piercing all the way through the side of the ship.<ref name="HE5"/> | ||
The station rapidly fired two more shots through ''Infinity'', crippling the ship and incapacitating its bridge crew; Commander Bradley was killed while Admiral Hood was paralyzed. The attacks quickly overheated the cannon, requiring some time to recharge. In the meantime, Palmer and Fireteam Majestic were deployed to board the station and stop Clayton using Booster Frames. The insurgents detected the Spartans and opened fire with the station's missile batteries on Clayton's orders. However, the Spartans successfully evaded the missiles.<ref name="esc6">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #6''</ref> | The station rapidly fired two more shots through ''Infinity'', crippling the ship and incapacitating its bridge crew; Commander Bradley was killed while Admiral Hood was paralyzed.
