{{Main|Requiem Campaign}}

[[File:H4 SOS1 Sniper Team.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Madsen (left) and [[Tedra Grant|Grant]] in a firefight on Requiem.]]

Sometime later, Fireteam Majestic was being engaged by [[Promethean Crawler]]s; they were eventually victorious with Madsen killing the last one. He started to complain about their ability to "pop up" anywhere, stating that it was an unfair advantage, when a [[Promethean Knight]] [[Slipspace translocation|teleported]] into the area and shot him in the shoulder.<ref name="Ep2">'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Artifact|S1E2 ''Artifact'']]</ref> He quickly recovered, with his shields taking the blunt of the attack.

Later, Madsen and the rest of Majestic were sent to recover the "[[Didact's Gift]]" from [[Galileo Base]], Madsen complained that they never get they interesting jobs, all the while being Crimson's "delivery service", with Grant scolding at him for his seemingly incessant rants. Shortly after breaking cover, he and the rest of the team are pinned down by [[Covenant]] air support. DeMarco decided they should make a run for the Pelican, Madsen told him it would be suicide. Thorne quickly hijacked a low-flying [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] and subsequently destroyed a nearby [[Type-44 Troop Carrier|Phantom]], allowing them escape with the artifact.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Memento Mori|S1E5 ''Memento Mori'']]</ref>

After Thorne went missing the rest of Majestic were sent to go look for him in Requiem. They arrived just as [[Gek 'Lhar]] was about to kill Thorne, together with [[Henry Glassman|Dr. Glassman]] (who also went missing), after the two were ambushed by Gek. DeMarco killed the Elite and saved Thorne, with Madsen stating that they have been looking everywhere for him.  Upon seeing Thorne give DeMarco an [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy sword]] and Thorne retrieving Gek's personal [[active camouflage]] module for himself,  Madsen decided to loot something for himself. He picked up a small device and activated it, revealing a map of Requiem, much to his displeasure.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Expendable|S1E8 ''Expendable'']]</ref>  

On March 11, six days after DeMarco's death on [[Ealen IV]], ''Infinty'' arrived in the [[Artesia-702 system]] having received a distress signal from the damaged [[freighter]] ''[[Pilgrims Pride]]''. When an ambush was sprung, Fireteam Majestic was deployed along Fireteams [[Fireteam Colossus|Colossus]] and [[Fireteam Fenrir|Fenrir]] to repel attack and prevent the freighter from self-destructing on the ''Infinity''. Leading the fireteams, Thorne ordered teams Colossus and Fenrir to secure the ship while Majestic made their way to the core. As the Spartans advance through the freighter, they encountered [[M202 XP machine gun|automated defense turrets]] but Madsen was able to swiftly destroy them with his rifle. With the enemy going into retreat, the freighter was tugged out into space, where Grant ejected the ship's core before it exploded. The Spartans survived the detonation and requested pickup.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 4|Issue #4]]''</ref>

Following the attack, ''Infinity'' learned that the assault crafts from the freighter belonged to the long-lost {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. Roland discovered that the freighter was launched near [[Oth Lodon]], a gas giant located deep in Jiralhanae space. With the Spirit's possible location found, Lord Hood authorized Commander Palmer to conduct a search and rescue mission. Equipped with [[OF92 Booster Frame]]s, Fireteam Majestic and Palmer scouted the planet's system. Madsen was thrilled during the expedition, pushing the limits of his booster frame. When asked by Thorne to restrain himself, Madsen retorted that Palmer was in command, at which point Palmer told him to obey his team leader. Exploring the system's asteroid field, the Spartans came across not the ''Spirit of Fire'' but instead a [[Oth Lodon station|Covenant station]] under control by [[New Colonial Alliance]] insurgents.<ref name="HE5">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 5|Issue #5]]''</ref>

After ''Infinity'' was trapped near the uncharted world of [[Aktis IV]] on July 19, 2558, Madsen was deployed to the planet's surface alongside the rest of Majestic, with Palmer once again assuming tactical command of the team. On a forested island the Spartans discovered and secured a Forerunner structure after defeating a group of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant forces]], and [[Henry Glassman|Dr. Glassman]] was brought in to investigate. Shortly afterward, Jul 'Mdama's Covenant launched a surprise assault against the Spartans and they became trapped in the structure. However, Glassman was able to activate the facility's [[teleportation grid]]. Spartan Grant was tasked by Palmer with taking a Spartan splinter team and Glassman through a portal to the other side of the island while Palmer, Thorne and Ray translocated to another location. Upon exiting the portal Grant's team were almost killed by friendly fire from [[Mark IX Mantis ADS|Mantises]] that ''Infinity'' had deployed against the Covenant forces.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 15|Issue #15]]''</ref> The battle eventually concluded with Jul 'Mdama attaining both halves of the Janus Key and leaving the system while the Spartans returned to ''Infinity''.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 16|Issue #16]]''</ref>
