On [[2557|July 20, 2557]],<ref name="Game Informer May 2012">'''Game Informer''': ''May 2012''</ref> precisely four years, seven months, and ten days after the Battle of Installation 00, Cortana noticed that the ship's intruder alarms had been activated and awakened John-117 from [[Cryonics|cryosleep]]. After being revived, John fought off the intruders, who turned out to be [[Sangheili]], [[Kig-Yar]] and [[Unggoy]]. The Chief and Cortana soon realized that a [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant fleet]] had surrounded the ''Forward Unto Dawn''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s remains while a group of [[Type-44 Troop Carrier|Phantoms]] unloaded more boarders onto the heavily damaged frigate. During the fight through the ship, the Master Chief managed to launch one of the ship's [[M4093 Hyperion nuclear delivery system|''Hyperion'' nuclear missiles]] and destroy a nearby {{Class|CRS|light cruiser}}.<ref name="Dawn"/> Soon, John and Cortana crashed on the Forerunner [[shield world]] known as [[Requiem]].
