On January 2553, the {{UNSCShip|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 {{UNSCship|Port Stanley}} for a personnel transfer. Slipspace time dilation effects caused a five-hour delay, however - the ''Ariadne'''s reactor exploded before any help could arrive. | On January 2553, the {{UNSCShip|Ariadne}} experienced reactor complications and was forced to drop out of [[slipspace]] near [[Venezia]].

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]] [[Type-38 Anti-Aircraft Cannon|T-38 "Tyrant"]] anti-air cannon. The ship evaded fire and easily destroyed the cannon with missiles. | 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]] [[Type-38 Anti-Aircraft Cannon|T-38 "Tyrant"]] anti-air cannon.
