Prior to, and during, the [[Fall of Reach]], ''Circumference'' was docked at [[Reach Station Gamma]], Bay 9. In an effort to maintain the secrecy of [[Operation: HYPODERMIC|HYPODERMIC]], the prowler was removed from [[Reach]]'s database after an intrusion into the [[ONI]] database by the [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Cortana]].<ref>'''Halo: Fall of Reach''', ''pages 269, 281-282''</ref> This isolation meant that the Station Gamma Dockmaster AI [[Doppler]] was unable to implement the [[Cole Protocol]] on the ''Circumference''.<ref>'''Halo: Fall of Reach''', ''page 302''</ref> | Prior to, and during, the [[Fall of Reach]], ''Circumference'' was docked at [[Reach Station Gamma]], Bay 9.

This oversight was detected by [[Covenant]] intrusion software, and the [[Covenant]] dispatched three frigates full of [[Sangheili]] and [[Kig-yar]] rangers to recover the [[Prowler]]'s NAV database. Three SPARTAN-IIs ([[John-117]], [[Linda-058]], and [[James-005]]) were diverted from defending [[Reach]]'s [[Orbital Defense Generator]]s to prevent this. The SPARTANs were successful, using the weapons of a commandeered [[Pelican]] to destroy the ''Circumference'' and the NAV database contained within. | This oversight was detected by [[Covenant]] intrusion software, and the [[Covenant]] dispatched three frigates full of [[Sangheili]] and [[Kig-yar]] rangers to recover the [[Prowler]]'s NAV database.
