Background
On January 2553, the UNSC Ariadne experienced reactor complications and was forced to drop out of slipspace near Venezia. Having received no assistance from the Insurrectionist 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 Template:UNSCship for a personnel transfer. Slipspace time dilation effects caused a five-hour delay, however - the Ariadne's reactor exploded before any help could arrive.
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 T-38 "Tyrant" anti-air cannon. The ship evaded fire and easily destroyed the cannon with missiles.
