After being recovered by the {{UNSCShip|Rubicon}}, [[343 Guilty Spark]], the former [[Monitor]] of [[Installation 04]], became determined to locate the [[Forerunner]] known as the [[Librarian]] whom he claimed was still alive. Spark hijacked the ''Rubicon'' and put the crew into cryo to search for the Librarian.<ref>'''[[Halo: Glasslands]]'''</ref> However, the ship crashed on [[Geranos-a]] in [[2554]], leaving the crew dead. Spark survived the crash by transferring himself into an [[armiger]] made out of parts salvaged by the ''Rubicon'' from [[Installation 00]] and activated a distress signal which was eventually picked up by a cargo ship in [[2557]] and relayed to ONI.<ref name="Renegades">'''[[Halo: Renegades]]'''</ref> | After being recovered by the {{UNSCShip|Rubicon}}, [[343 Guilty Spark]], the former [[Monitor]] of [[Installation 04]], became determined to locate the [[Forerunner]] known as the [[Librarian]] whom he claimed was still alive.

In 2557, the [[salvager]] ''[[Ace of Spades]]'' captained by [[Rion Forge]] undertook a salvage operation to what turned out to be the wreckage of the {{UNSCShip|Roman Blue}}, the {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}} that was supposed to have retrieved the [[log buoy]] of the long lost {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} during the [[Battle for Arcadia]] in [[2531]]. Their search eventually led them to the debris field of the [[shield world]] [[Etran Harborage]] and the AI fragment [[Little Bit]] who provided the crew with projections of where the ''Spirit of Fire'' may have gone and video recordings from the ship's time on the shield world.<ref name="Smoke and Shadow">'''[[Halo: Smoke and Shadow]]'''</ref> However, the ''Ace of Spades'' was later captured by ONI and all of the crew's possessions, salvage and data taken. The information ultimately led the UNSC to the Etran Harborage debris field which was briefly explored by [[Fireteam Apollo]] and then later destroyed by a massive UNSC fleet. | In 2557, the [[salvager]] ship ''[[Ace of Spades]]'' captained by [[Rion Forge]] undertook a salvage operation to what turned out to be the wreckage of the {{UNSCShip|Roman Blue}}, the {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}} that was supposed to have retrieved the [[log buoy]] of the long lost {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} during the [[Battle for Arcadia]] in [[2531]].

In an attempt to force ONI to return everything to them, the ''Ace of Spades'' crew traveled to Geranos-a where they recovered Spark. After Spark revealed himself, he offered to help with the crew's efforts to get back their property if they would help him find the Librarian, a deal that they agreed to. Spark took the ship to [[Triniel]] to get an [[upgrade seed]] and [[slipspace flake]] that allowed him to upgrade the ship's capabilities which they were able to use to retrieve their property from ONI on [[Binterall]] while also leaving ONI with a data core that contained a fragment of Spark which ONI believed to be the whole AI. With Spark having upheld his end of the deal, the ''Ace of Spades'' headed to [[Earth]] to help him find the Librarian as promised.<ref name="Renegades" /> | In an attempt to force ONI to return everything to them, the ''Ace of Spades'' crew traveled to Geranos-a where they recovered Spark.
