Upon arriving at Netherop two days later, Petrov wasted no time in jump-starting the recovery mission. While standard prowler doctrine would dictate a ship to lie in orbit for several hours conducting passive reconnaissance, Petrov instead attempted to hurry the mission along by deploying one of ''Night Watch''{{'}}s [[D75-TC/r Pelican]]s to Netherop directly - resulting in the Pelican being destroyed by one of the hidden [[intrusion corvette]]s of the [[Flotilla of Unsung Piety]]. Unbeknownst to Petrov and the prowler crew, the downed Covenant frigate was a trap set into motion by [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]] in an attempt to exact revenge on the Spartans for their victory at [[Zhoist]]; his corvettes were hanging in orbit over Netherop with the intent of intercepting the Spartans and killing them. As such, Petrov was forced to resort to directly lowering ''Night Watch'' into Netherop's atmosphere with the intent of directly deploying the Spartans to the recovery site so that they could begin clearing out the downed frigate of hostiles. However, the ship took heavy anti-aircraft fire on descent, resulting in its crash-landing on Netherop sixty kilometres from the target LZ.{{Ref/Novel|Id=OB6|Oblv|Chapter=6}} | Upon arriving at Netherop two days later, Petrov wasted no time in jump-starting the recovery mission.
