Meeting with John and Cortana on the bridge, Del Rio discussed the hostile [[Promethean]] response on Requiem. He sent John and [[Gypsy Company]] to disable the [[gravity well]] keeping the ship on the planet as he wanted to leave immediately. Del Rio showed disrespect for the Spartan, and refused to give him optimal intelligence on the mission, though he did provide a [[Mobile Anti-Aircraft Weapons Platform M510 Siegework/Ultra-Heavy|Mammoth]]. However, Covenant forces eventually began attacking the ''Infinity''. John managed to disable the gravity well and defeat the Covenant. Back aboard ''Infinity'', John tried to convince Del Rio not to leave Requiem, citing his encounter with the [[Librarian]] AI. Del Rio did not believe him, believing him and Cortana to be delusional. He instead ordered that the vessel retreat to [[Carinae Station]], prompting an outburst of anger from an increasingly rampant Cortana. Del Rio ordered Lasky to immediately remove her for decommissioning per [[UNSC Regulation 12-145-72, Article 55|UNSC regulation]]. Before Lasky could comply, John took Cortana himself.
