After their failed assault on Ealen IV, 'Gajat and Captain Clayton lured Admiral Hood and the UNSC ''Infinity'' into a trap. They launched a freighter, the ''[[Pilgrims Pride]]'', which sent out a distress signal that was later picked up by ''Infinity''. When ''Infinity'' arrived in the [[Artesia-702 system]], it found the damaged freighter leaking atomic matter with faint life signs aboard and tugged the ship into one of its deployment bays. An ambush was sprung within the bay when the freighter set itself to self-destruct and multiple UNSC aircraft exited its cargo bay. The attack was repelled and ''Infinity'' later discovered the assault crafts used were from the ''Spirit of Fire''. ''Infinity'' tracked the freighter's origin to [[Oth Lodon]] where it found a [[Oth Lodon station|Covenant space station]] operated by NCA forces. Captain Clayton revealed himself and his motives to Lord Hood and fired on ''Infinity'' with the station's [[energy projector]].<ref name="HE5"/> | After their failed assault on Ealen IV, 'Gajat and Captain Clayton lured Admiral Hood and the UNSC ''Infinity'' into a trap.

After firing several times the cannon overheated, forcing Clayton and the others to wait to bring it back online. The station then detected several [[OF92 Booster Frame]]s and he ordered the station's smaller arms online. He asked 'Gajat to keep ''Infinity'' busy until they brought the cannon back online. 'Gajat however, questioning Clayton's vision, decided capturing the ship would get them more money than working for Clayton. Five [[Spartan-IV]]s boarded the station and seized control of it, ordering everyone to freeze. Clayton told them not to listen, asking the Spartans if they knew who he was. [[Anthony Madsen|One of them]] said they did know him and knocked him out with their [[SRS99-S5 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle]] for killing his friend [[Paul DeMarco]] during the Battle of Ealen IV. | After firing several times the cannon overheated, forcing Clayton and the others to wait to bring it back online.
