Issue #13 begins two months after the events of Issue #12, on [[2558#July|July 15, 2558]], with Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] making a personal journal entry on her views on the Forerunners and their technology, her contribution to humanity's survival and subsequent condemnation by the UNSC, as well as her encounter with the [[Librarian]] on [[Requiem]]. Despite the UNSC turning against her, she remains determined to combine the halves of the [[Janus Key]] and take them to the [[Absolute Record]] to fulfill the Librarian's plan. | Issue #13 begins two months after the events of Issue #12, on [[2558#July|July 15, 2558]], with Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] making a personal journal entry on her views on the Forerunners and their technology, her contribution to humanity's survival and subsequent condemnation by the UNSC, as well as her encounter with the [[Librarian]] on [[Requiem]].

Palmer orders all UNSC forces to search and find [[Jul 'Mdama]], while Thomas orders an airstrike on a pair of [[Type-44 Phantom]]s. Palmer orders Thorne to get to an [[M12 Warthog LRV]] but they are ambushed and pursued by [[Promethean Crawler]]s. After they dispatch the Crawlers Palmer drives the Warthog off a cliff and on top of one of the Phantoms before crashing to the ground, lightly injuring Thorne. The Phantoms prepare to fire on the Spartans but are saved by the airstrike called in by Thomas, with a [[GA-TL1 Longsword]] destroying both Phantoms. | ||
On July 17, onboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, [[Thomas Lasky|Captain Lasky]] reprehends Palmer about her attitude on Oban. Palmer asks him why Jul would waste so much resources on attack a small colony; Lasky believes it may have been to stop colonization efforts and that Jul may not have been the one responsible of the attack. Lasky then tells Palmer that she is frustrated by losing not only Jul's track but Halsey's as well, knowing "one will lead to the other". Lasky reveals he wants Dr. Halsey taken back into custody, but Palmer insists on killing the doctor on sight. | On July 17, onboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, [[Thomas Lasky|Captain Lasky]] reprehends Palmer about her attitude on Oban.
