While Sarah Palmer is the acting commander of spartan operations aboard the Infinity, Tristin is also given the rank of commander of forces aboard of one of the Strident-Class frigates that are the Infinity's sub-vessels. After the Infinity exited slipspace and rammed into a RCS-Class Armored Crusier, Tristin and Apollo were deployed to requiem to hunt down High-Value targets of Jul 'Mdama's Covenant across the planet. 
Upon arrival on the planet's surface, Tristin and Apollo were deployed to a location that is codenamed "Cyclone" to hunt down a HVT that are one of Jul 'Mdama's lieutenants named Grakan 'Vogum. Palmer gave him the objective to hunt down Grakan inside a structure and eliminate all hostiles in the are guarding Grakan. one of his squad members, Kale, gotten into position and provided overwatch when the rest of the team were clearing out the Covenant inside the structure. when all of the hostiles were eliminated and while Kennedy-B108 was working on the door controls, Hayden-B328 used a DC187 drill detonation charge to kill the guards inside the door but keeping Grakan alive for interrogation. when Tristin was interrogating Grakan, he asked who their leader was and where to find him at, Grakan replied "you wretched humans will never find where he's at, and your destruction is the will of the gods and we will disintegrate every single cell of your incompetent race!" when he heard of all of that, Tristin told Sarah Palmer that he is not giving his location and Palmer responded in the comms, "force that son of a bitch to talk, if he does not cooperate, you do whatever you want with him." Tristin replied, "im partial about shooting that split-lip in the head if this bastard won't talk." Then Tristin decides to pull out his M6G Magnum and crippled him at the knees and threatened Grakan for his location or else he will be shot, then he responded in sangheili language translated, "killing me will not get you anywhere, or even the location of Jul Mdama." then Tristin shot him through his mouth into the head, resulting in his death.
in the wake of Doctor Catherine Halsey's abduction by Jul 'Mdama, all spartan fireteams including Tristin and Apollo team, were deployed to multiple locations on Requiem, including "Cyclone", "Apex", "Control", "Cauldron", and "Lockup". Apollo Team were sent to "Lockup" to find Halsey if she is not found on any other of the locations on requiem where majority of the Spartan Fireteams are at. While eliminating Covenant forces on lockup as they go and search every structure in the area, the covenant deployed a decoy of Dr. Halsey thinking that apollo found her but turns out when Tristin approached her and tries to grab her to extract out of the area, the decoy disappeared, causing them to communicate with Sarah Palmer and tell her that the Covenant deployed a Decoy that pretends to be Halsey to trick fireteams who go to that area. She told Tristin to find who are deploying the decoys and shoot on sight. An Unggoy officer named Fimiw was the one who deployed the decoys in the area, Fimiw was killed under Tristin's Hands shortly after sighting. after that, they returned to the infinity for further orders.
