Thorne later volunteered to guard [[Catherine Halsey|Doctor Catherine Halsey]] while she worked on the [[Requiem slipspace artifacts|Forerunner artifact]] recovered by Crimson. He questioned her about the use of children for the [[SPARTAN-II program]]. He also asked if she thought the [[SPARTAN-IV program|current generation of Spartans]] were capable of being true Spartans and she admitted that some might be closer than others. He later told her why he joined the SPARTAN-IVs, expressing his guilt that he was not able to do anything to save his family and friends during the New Phoenix incident.

With the base air defenses offline, Thorne quickly hijacked a low-flying [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshee]] and destroyed a nearby [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantom dropship]], allowing the Fireteam to return to the ''Infinity''. As the device was being examined by Dr. Halsey and Roland, the matrix gave off an energy burst, it sent images of New Phoenix throughout the monitors within the room, which Thorne quickly recognized. He noticed that the translocation artifact appeared in one of the images; curious, he left the laboratory and later approached the artifact. Wondering how the artifact could have been present at New Phoenix prior to its discovery, Thorne touched it and was unexpectedly translocated to a Forerunner structure in [[the Cauldron]], where he was immediately surrounded by [[Sangheili Storm]] forces.{{Ref/Reuse|mori}} Thorne put up a fight, managing to kill most of the Sangheili before being knocked unconscious. Coming to, he pretended to stay unconscious as the Covenant forces led him to their base at the [[Vale Citadel]]. After arriving, Dr. [[Henry Glassman]] — who had escaped at the time — arrived at the front entrance. Thorne chose then to get up and kill his two Sangheili captors. When [[Gek 'Lhar]] remotely activated Glassman's [[Unidentified Covenant explosives vest|plasma charge-rigged vest]], Thorne quickly disposed of it and the two [[Escape from Librarian's Rest|fled]].<ref name="scattered">''Spartan Ops'', [[Scattered|S106 Scattered]]</ref> | ||
Gek quickly picked up their trail and pursued them. Some time later, Gek ambushed the pair as they were resting. Thorne quickly disarmed Gek of his [[Type-1 energy sword]] and engaged him in a close-quarters brawl. Gek, however, managed to gain the upper hand from Thorne after smashing a large rock over his chest and head. Just before Gek could kill Thorne, the rest of Fireteam Majestic arrived. DeMarco shot the Elite dead, saving Thorne's life. Afterwards, Thorne searched the dead Sangheili for anything significant, giving DeMarco the energy sword in gratitude, as well as Gek's personal collection of UNSC [[dog tag]]s.

As a Pelican landed to bring Glassman back to ''Infinity'', Captain Lasky contacted Majestic via hologram, ordering them to rescue Halsey, who had been taken by the Covenant and had a kill order placed on her by [[Commander-in-Chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence|CINCONI]], [[Serin Osman|Admiral Serin Osman]]. Returning to the entrance to the Vale Citadel, Thorne got the guards' attention, before Majestic opened fire from the high ground. DeMarco ordered Thorne to proceed inside and rescue Halsey. He caught Jul 'Mdama off guard and killed two of his bodyguards. As Jul grabbed Halsey, she passed him one half of the [[Janus Key]] given to her by the Librarian. As Palmer turned up, Jul summoned Promethean Knights to cover his escape. By the time the Spartans managed to destroy the Knights, Jul teleported away, with Halsey in tow. After yelling in frustration, Palmer demanded to know why Majestic was there. DeMarco explained that they were on a rescue mission, to which Palmer retorted that Halsey was a [[Treason|traitor]]. Thorne did not believe so, and showed the Commander that Halsey had given him one half of the Key.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Key|S109 Key]]</ref> | As a Pelican landed to bring Glassman back to ''Infinity'', Captain Lasky contacted Majestic via hologram, ordering them to rescue Halsey, who had been taken by the Covenant and had a kill order placed on her by [[Commander-in-Chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence|CINCONI]], [[Serin Osman|Admiral Serin Osman]].

By March 22, Fireteam Majestic was stationed aboard the [[orbital defense platform]] ''[[Oaxaca Station]]'' over Earth while ''Infinity'' underwent repairs. Aboard the station, Thorne was having problems sleeping due to nightmares about the [[New Phoenix Incident|attack on New Phoenix]] eight months ago and the death of his grandmother. He was awoken by Grant—who was unable to fall asleep herself, as she does not feel at home—and the two discussed attending the reopening of [[New Phoenix]]. Thorne was at first reluctant to return to the city. However, Grant insisted that he visit his home and offered to accompany him as "backup", seeing as they had nothing to do for the next three weeks.

On [[2558#May|May 9, 2558]], Thorne and Spartan [[Naiya Ray]] were hand-picked by [[Thomas Lasky|Captain Thomas Lasky]] for a classified mission to capture and interrogate [[Ayit 'Sevi|a Sangheili]] in possession of a new [[bioweapon]] on the desolate planet of [[Ven III]]. After making landfall, the Spartans encountered several disorganized [[Kig-Yar]] before passing into a communications jamming field. The duo discovered a Covenant structure where they were ambushed by the target Sangheili and a group of Kig-Yar.

Thorne was eventually found by Ray, who managed to disable the device holding him in place and held back the Sangheili agent and his allies. However, the agent managed to escape. Ray told Thorne she was going to stay behind until rescue arrived. However Thorne ordered Ray to pursue the Sangheili instead due to mission priorities.

After [[Joel Thomas]] ordered an airstrike on two {{Pattern|Ru'swum|Phantom}}s near Palmer's position, Palmer ordered Thorne to get to an [[M12 Chaingun Warthog]] and pursue the Phantoms, but they were ambushed and pursued by [[Promethean Crawlers]]. They dispatched several of the Crawlers and Palmer jumped out of a cliff, directly above the Phantoms. The Warthog landed on the ground, injuring Thorne, and the Phantoms prepared to shoot their [[heavy plasma cannon]]s at them. However, a [[GA-TL1 Longsword]] appeared, destroying both Phantoms, and saving Palmer's and Thorne's lives. Thorne returned to ''Infinity'' after the UNSC won the battle.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 13|Issue #13]]''</ref> | ||
After ''Infinity'' was stranded in an uncharted system, Thorne and Fireteam Majestic, led by Commander Palmer, were deployed to the planet [[Aktis IV]] to investigate a mysterious signal. After eliminating a small group of Covenant forces, they discovered a Forerunner structure and provided protection for [[Henry Glassman|Dr. Glassman]] as he arrived to investigate the site. Several hours later, Thorne was charged by Palmer with transporting the science equipment from an incoming [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] to the Forerunner structure. However, the Pelican was shot down by [[Sali 'Nyon]]'s [[Sali 'Nyon's Covenant|forces]], triggering a massive Covenant ambush which soon forced Thorne and the other Spartans to retreat into the Forerunner facility.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 14|Issue #14]]''</ref> | After ''Infinity'' was stranded in an uncharted system, Thorne and Fireteam Majestic, led by Commander Palmer, were deployed to the planet [[Aktis IV]] to investigate a mysterious signal.
