While their defeat at Earth proved a set back for the Promethean-Covenant alliance, it did not result in their defeat. Months later, in [[2558|February 2558]], the ''Infinity'' returns to Requiem with a complement of Spartans, determined to reclaim the shield world. Once there, ''Infinity'' engages in combat with the Covenant fleet, and deploys ground forces, including Fireteams [[Fireteam Majestic|Majestic]] and [[Fireteam Crimson|Crimson]] as well as detachments of other UNSC military forces on the planet. The Spartan fireteams run through a series of search and destroy, rescue, artifact recovery, extraction and assassination ops. | While their defeat at Earth proved a set back for the Promethean-Covenant alliance, it did not result in their defeat.

During one of these operations, a mysterious [[Requiem slipspace artifacts|Forerunner artifact]] is uncovered and subsequently brought aboard ''Infinity''.

After the device teleports [[Henry Glassman|Chief Engineer Glassman]] to the surface of the planet, [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] is brought in to investigate. Glassman is taken captive by the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] and is ordered to activate the [[Librarian]]'s shrine, though he is not successful. Dr. Halsey begins dialog with an unknown party who shares her interest in the Librarian. The intelligence is actually [[Jul 'Mdama]], who is manipulating Halsey into divulging vital secrets about the Forerunners. Halsey is apprehended after her unwitting communication with 'Mdama is discovered. Meanwhile, [[Gabriel Thorne|Spartan Thorne]] rescues Dr. Glassman and the pair escape custody. | ||
After Dr. Halsey briefly escapes imprisonment and resumes her communication with 'Mdama, ''Infinity'' is boarded by Covenant and [[Promethean]] forces who capture Dr. Halsey. They take her to the Librarian's "shrine", where 'Mdama awaits. Captain Lasky consults with [[Admiral]] [[Serin Osman]], head of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], who orders Lasky to assassinate Dr. Halsey. Against Lasky's protests, Commander Palmer departs to execute the order. However, Lasky sends Fireteam Majestic to rescue Dr. Halsey and stop Palmer. Meanwhile, Dr. Halsey successfully activates and enters the Librarian's shrine. The Librarian's essence gives Dr. Halsey an artifact known as the [[Janus Key]], but Jul 'Mdama gets one half of the key. Halsey tosses Gabriel Thorne the other half before she is abducted by 'Mdama. | After Dr. Halsey briefly escapes imprisonment and resumes her communication with 'Mdama, ''Infinity'' is boarded by Covenant and [[Promethean]] forces who capture Dr. Halsey.
