Following the battle, a [[Covenant Special Operations]] team was dispatched by the [[Prophet of Regret]] to the [[moon]]'s surface to search for [[Forerunner]] artifacts. The team retrieved a [[Luminary]] and delivered it to Regret. Some time later, Regret's [[Steward]]s successfully decrypted the Luminary, which revealed the existence of the [[Installation 00|final home of the Forerunners]], as well as a [[Portal at Voi|portal that led to it]]. The Luminary also revealed the location of this portal; [[Earth|Erde-Tyrene]]. In [[2552#October|October of 2552]], the Stewards presented their findings to Regret by personally showing him the information it contained aboard the carrier. Regret hastily assembled the relatively small [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]]—with ''Solemn Penance'' as its [[flagship]], ''Day of Jubilation'', and thirteen {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}s—and departed for Erde-Tyrene shortly after, unaware that the planet was the home of humanity.<ref>'''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''', ''[[Terminal/Halo 2: Anniversary|Terminal 14]]''</ref> | ||

''Solemn Penance'' arrived in the [[Sol system]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]] over [[Jupiter]], along with the rest of the Fleet of Sacred Consecration, expecting to find and uncover the [[Portal at Voi|entrance to the Ark]]. Instead, they emerged from [[slipstream space]] into the heavy defenses of the [[UNSC Home Fleet]], defending humanity's homeworld, Earth. ''Solemn Penance'' and its fleet were reported to Home Fleet's command by [[Io Station]] when the Covenant passed the relay station.<ref>'''Halo 2: Anniversary''', ''[[Terminal | ''Solemn Penance'' arrived in the [[Sol system]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]] over [[Jupiter]], along with the rest of the Fleet of Sacred Consecration, expecting to find and uncover the [[Portal at Voi|entrance to the Ark]].

Though two ODPs were successfully destroyed, the second assault carrier was destroyed by [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] [[John-117]], who used the bomb that was intended to destroy ''[[Cairo Station]]''. However, Regret's vessel continued unimpeded, descending to [[New Mombasa]], in [[Kenya]], [[Africa]].<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]]''</ref> | ||

Soon, John-117 and dozens of Marines began an assault on the carrier's landing zone in [[Uplift Nature Reserve]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''', campaign level ''[[Uplift Reserve (level)|Uplift Reserve]]''</ref> Eventually, faced with the possibility of being overrun on the ground and intercepted by UNSC ships if it tried to escape to orbit, Regret ordered a retreat. The ''Solemn Penance'' activated its [[slipspace]] drive, making an emergency jump, with the [[UNSC frigate]] {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} following it into slipspace.<ref name="metro"/> The shockwave from the Slipspace rupture severely damaged the city, releasing a potent [[electromagnetic pulse]] and partially damaging the city's urban infrastructure [[Artificial Intelligence|AI]], the [[Superintendent]]. The jump also foiled the attempt of an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] force to infiltrate the carrier from above, scattering their [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|drop pods]] around the city and killing most of the troopers.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[Prepare To Drop]]''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: New Blood]]''', ''page 58'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | ||

Regret pleaded with the [[Prophet of Truth]], apologizing for his rash actions. Meanwhile, ''In Amber Clad'' arrived at Installation 05. UNSC forces, again spearheaded by John-117, hunted the Prophet; the Spartan soon assassinated him. After this, the ''Solemn Penance'' used its [[energy projector]] to level the temple where the Prophet had been based in an attempt to kill "[[Covenant religion#Demons|the Demon]]". The attempt was unsuccessful.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Regret (level)|Regret]]''</ref> | ||
