This recovery was significant, as the black box contained a detailed account of [[Bliss|the colony's]] downfall. This black box was instrumental in leading dissident leaders among the [[Outer Colonies]] to have an agreement of peace with the UNSC.<ref>'''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]''', attachment: ''Confidential Directorate Memorandum - Excerpt from ''Accra'' log''</ref> | |||

Unfortunately, the lifepods were caught in the radiation pulse of the ship's engines. Half of the evacuees were subjected to extreme amounts of radiation, managing barely to survive, while the other half were killed.<ref>[http://www.graemedevine.com/graemedevine/Spirit_of_Fire/Entries/2009/1/23_Medbay.html '''Spirit of Fire''': ''personal log, nurse Hershey'']</ref> The lifepods were picked up by the UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'', where the survivors were made comfortable. All of the ''Prophecy''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s survivors died slow, agonizing deaths, with no spare morphine to ease their pain. [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]] was sent aboard the ship in a Pelican with [[Fire Team Lima|his squad]] to recover survivors, but was redirected by ''Spirit of Fire'''s AI, [[Serina]], to purge its NAV database. ''Prophecy''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s AI, [[FitzGibbon]], prevented Forge from accessing the database because of the latter's poor [[Career Service Vitae|service record]], but eventually relented when informed that his actions breached the [[Cole Protocol]]. Allowing Forge to purge the database, FitzGibbon then initiated a self-destruct sequence, destroying the ship to deny its access to the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]].<ref name="HW:G">'''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'''</ref> | ||
An ONI [[prowler]] was present when the ''Prophecy'' was damaged, but refused to help because the radiation emissions would have compromised their stealth systems, rendering their only tactical advantage moot. The survivors were also deemed to be a lost cause, the radiation doses they had received were too much to survive. Such a callous assessment of living humans greatly upset Captain Cutter | An ONI [[prowler]] was present when the ''Prophecy'' was damaged, but refused to help because the radiation emissions would have compromised their stealth systems, rendering their only tactical advantage moot.
