A convoy of Phantoms and Wraiths escorting Halsey to the Minor's location soon arrived. The Sangheili Minor gave Halsey his half of the Janus Key, and all vehicles—except for a Phantom and Wraith—were recalled to different parts of the island. As Halsey and the remaining Covenant soldiers prepared to depart for ''[[Song of Retribution]]'', the Spartans ambushed them. While the Thorne and Ray battled the Sangheili Zealots guarding the Phantom, Halsey was escorted into the forest by a lone Zealot. Palmer ordered Thorne and Ray to finish off the remaining Zealots, while she pursued Halsey and her guard. Palmer ultimately failed, and Halsey and Jul's Covenant fled the planet with both halves of the Janus Key. After all UNSC forces on Aktis IV returned to ''Infinity'', Thorne and Ray were furious about Palmer's behavior on the planet, a fact that Lasky brought to Palmer's attention.<ref name="HE16">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 16|Issue #16]]''</ref> | A convoy of Phantoms and Wraiths escorting Halsey to the Minor's location soon arrived.

===The Absolute Record=== | |||
{{Main|Operation: ATHENA}} | |||
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. | |||
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''. | |||
