The science team questioned the damaged monitor on his origins, who obliged the humans due to their authority as [[Reclaimer]]s. Over the course of the interrogation, Spark breached the ''Rubicon'''s firewall several times, much to the team's dismay. Spark powered down after concluding his story and his casing was subsequently ejected into space; unknown to the crew he had already transferred his consciousness to the shipboard computers. After subduing the [[Curator|onboard AI]] and taking control of the ship, he explained to the crew that he was going to resume his quest to find the [[Lifeshaper]] and to restore his old friends, [[Riser]] and [[Vinnevra]], back to life. Asserting that the Lifeshaper was still alive, he put the crew to sleep and had the ''Rubicon'' proceed to her location.<ref>'''[[Halo: Primordium]]'''</ref><ref name="mythos">'''[[Halo Mythos]]'''</ref>

In order to prepare the ship for the journey he planned, Spark used one of the Ark's remaining active portals to return the ''Rubicon'' to the galaxy with the intention of taking it to the [[shield world]] [[Etran Harborage]] to get an [[upgrade seed]], unaware that the Etran Harborage had been destroyed in [[2531]] by the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. However, there were complications after Spark took control and the ''Rubicon'' crashed into the planet [[Geranos-a]] in the [[Ibycus system]]. The crash killed everyone on board, though Spark survived by building a body for himself out of parts salvaged by the ''Rubicon'' from the Ark. Spark buried the crew in a mass grave on the planet and calculated that he was only 62.35% culpable in the tragedy. Spark sent out a distress signal that was eventually picked up by a cargo ship three years later in [[2557]] and passed on to the military. Having learned of Spark's story, ONI intended to capture the AI for themselves, but the wreckage was reached by the ''[[Ace of Spades]]'' first who recovered Spark and escaped with him.<ref>'''[[Halo: Retributions]]'''</ref>
