Soon after Thorne was chosen to take part in Operation: Athena alongside Commander Sarah Palmer, [[Holly Tanaka]], Dr. Henry Glassman and [[Ayit 'Sevi]], the same Sangheili he had already encountered during the mission on Ven III. The military operation was designed by Admiral [[Serin Osman]] to prevent Jul 'Mdama and Dr. Catherine Halsey from accessing the Forerunner facility known as the [[Absolute Record]]. On September 15, Thorne and the rest of the team were briefed on how they would infiltrate Jul 'Mdama's fleet by stowing away on-board the assault carrier ''[[Breath of Annihilation]]''. Upon arrival at the Absolute Record, the team would separate from the fleet and use an advanced [[telemetry probe]] to transmit their location back to the UNSC for reinforcements. | Soon after Thorne was chosen to take part in Operation: Athena alongside Commander Sarah Palmer, [[Holly Tanaka]], Dr. Henry Glassman and [[Ayit 'Sevi]], the same Sangheili he had already encountered during the mission on Ven III.

Two days later on September 17, Ayit 'Sevi rendezvoused with Jul's fleet in the [[Urs system|Urs–Fied–Joori system]] and sneaked Thorne and the other members inside the Breath of Annihilation. After the fleet jumped in and out of slipspace and neared the portal to the Absolute Record, multiple slipspace ruptures materialized into several ships of the fleet, one of which began to tear apart Annihilation. 'Sevi informed the team they had to abandon the ship and that their probe had been destroyed. The team was forced to flee and fight their way through a Covenant battalion in order to reach an undamaged hangar bay. Ayit 'Sevi soon procured a Phantom and transported everyone directly to Jul 'Mdama's flagship, the ''Song of Retribution''. With news that 'Mdama would push forward to the portal and reach the Absolute Record, the team resolved to split-up. Thorne and 'Sevi returned to ''Annihilation'' in an attempt to use its communications to contact ONI, while Tanaka and Palmer and a conscious Glassman remained aboard the ''Song''.<ref name="HE20">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 20|Issue #20]]''</ref> | |||
Thorne was hidden while the ''Annihilation'' descended to a nearby moon for repairs, but rumors had spread about a Spartan team possibly being aboard the Covenant's ship. Deciding to take advantage of the brewing arguing in the ship, Ayit had Thorne leave their Phantom and cause panic throughout the ''Annihilation''.<ref name="HE21">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 21|Issue #21]]''</ref> With Ayit helping Thorne through radio to remain one step ahead of his pursuers, Thorne led the Covenant in a chase and eventually fled the ship into the neighboring swamp. Thorne continued to evade his opponents, but was badly wounded by a Jackal's Needler then nearly drowned.<ref name="HE22">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 22|Issue #22]]''</ref> Too injured to remain running, Thorne took a spare Banshee to fly back to the carrier.<ref name="HE23">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 23|Issue #23]]''</ref> Ayit headed to the hangar to find and hide him upon landing, but was intercepted by two Zealots who had overheard him talking to Thorne. But before they could kill him, Thorne inadvertently saved Ayit's life by running over both Elites with his Banshee. Thorne then hid in Ayit's Phantom again until the ''Annihilation'' returned to Sangheili space, where he and his team left the ship and boarded an arriving ONI [[prowler]] to take them home.<ref name="HE24">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 24|Issue #24]]''</ref> | |||
