==Background==
==Background==
On January 2553, the {{UNSCShip|Ariadne}} experienced reactor complications and was forced to drop out of [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] near [[Venezia]]. Having received no assistance from the [[Insurrectionist]]-controlled colony, ''Ariadne'' sent a message to [[Earth]] asking for help. Two days later the ''Monte Cassino'' was dispatched - both to evacuate the ship's crew and to rendezvous with the {{UNSCShip|Port Stanley}} for a personnel transfer. Slipspace time dilation effects caused a five-hour delay, however - the reactor exploded before any help could arrive, and the ''Ariadne'' was lost with all hands.

The ''Monte Cassino'' then conducted search-and-rescue operations in Venezia's orbit, but the ship was fired upon by paranoid ground forces with a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Cheru-pattern Tyrant|T-38 "Tyrant"]] anti-air cannon. The ship evaded fire and easily destroyed the cannon with missiles. Prior to the ''Monte Cassino'''s return trip to [[Earth]], the ''Port Stanley'' transferred [[ONI]] operative [[Mike Spenser]] and [[civilian]] [[Tom Muir]] to the ship.
