Using the now-complete Janus Key, 'Mdama's fleet attempted to pinpoint the location of the [[Absolute Record]], a repository of [[Forerunner]] information. On [[2558#September|September 15, 2558]], while within the [[Urs system]], Doctor Halsey believed she discovered the Absolute Record's location while analyzing the Janus Key aboard ''Song of Retribution''. When ''Song of Retribution'' and the rest of the fleet departed for the Absolute Record's apparent location, they discovered an apparently artificial gas giant with a [[slipspace portal]] leading to their true destination. However, slipspace ruptures suddenly destroyed two cruisers within the fleet and heavily damaged ''Breath of Annihilation''.<ref name="HE19">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 19|Issue #19]]''</ref> While 'Mdama and Halsey decided their next course of action, a five-man team—consisting of Spartans Palmer, Thorne, [[Holly Tanaka|Tanaka]], [[Henry Glassman|Dr. Glassman]], and [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] operative [[Ayit 'Sevi]]—who had infiltrated ''Breath of Annihilation'' were forced to abandon the damaged carrier and travel to ''Song of Retribution'' in a Phantom. 'Mdama decided for ''Song of Retribution'' to enter the portal to the Absolute Record alone while ''Breath of Annihilation'' makes emergency repairs at a nearby [[moon]].
