The Black box from the vessel was recovered, though the booklet never specifically mentions where. At the beginning of the recording, the vessel has already sustained heavy damage. The Captain orders most of the [[weapons]] of the ship offline due to some kind of extensive danger. He then requests protection from the ''[[Devotion]]'' and fighter support from the ''[[Commitment and Patience]]''. However, the enemy contact fires a "projectile" that ruptures the fuel cells of ''Commitment and Patience'', and it vaporizes almost instantly. There is some kind of impact and the ''Sacred Promise'' loses drive control, and descends toward the "Primary satellite". It seems that its own fuel cells were ruptured as well though.

The "Projectile" could possibly be a human [[MAC]] gun round, but this cannot be confirmed. It could be theorized that it's part of the fleet battling UNSC forces above [[Earth]] or [[Mars]] (there's mention of primary satellite, indicating the planet might have 2 or more moons, such as Mars' Phobos and Deimos) during the first levels of Halo 2, as it is one if the few instances where [[UNSC]] has had relative space superiority through superior numbers.
