Hiding within the [[Urs system]], Halsey worked on finding the coordinates of the Absolute Record. Though 'Mdama was impatient with Halsey's tests, she reminded him that his rushing of her work will only create further set-backs, as it had before. On [[2558#September|September 15, 2558]], Halsey finished another analyzation of the Janus Key and believed to have finally pinpointed the Absolute Record's exact location. Two days later, as the fleet prepared to depart for the Absolute Record, a Phantom carrying Spartans Palmer, Thorne, [[Holly Tanaka]], Dr. Glassman, and [[Ayit 'Sevi]]—a mercenary within 'Mdama's ranks working for ONI—boarded ''[[Breath of Annihilation]]'', intent on revealing the location of the Absolute Record to the UNSC. The fleet arrived at an apparently artificial gas giant with a slipspace portal leading to the Absolute Record. Before the fleet could press forward, slipspace ruptures materialized around the fleet, destroying at least two ships and damaging ''Breath of Annihilation''.<ref name="HE19">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 19|Issue #19]]''</ref> | Hiding within the [[Urs system]], Halsey worked on finding the coordinates of the Absolute Record.

Furious at the damage done to his fleet, 'Mdama blamed Halsey for the loss and threw her across ''Song of Retribution''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s bridge. While Halsey and 'Mdama argued about the situation, she reminded him that once they reached the Absolute Record, they will discover technology beyond their comprehension that will more than compensate for the ships that were destroyed. Halsey further exaggerated that once he was in control of the Absolute Record's "treasures", 'Mdama would be seen as a god. 'Mdama decided to travel to the Absolute Record, with only ''Retribution'' entering the portal while the rest made repairs. As Halsey and 'Mdama prepared to enter the portal, they learned of rumors of the Spartans attacking personnel of ''Breath of Annihilation''.
