At one point, Birch had arranged a date with [[Gretchen Navarro]] on [[Tribute]] while simultaneously on an assignment given by a contact named [[Steve (ONI)|Steve]] to deliver a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace drive]] to the [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] at [[Cygnus]]. Birch retrieved the drive from the [[Marathon-class cruiser|UNSC cruiser]] [[UNSC Dresden|''Dresden'']] during a fetching run over [[Biko]]. Inspecting it more closely, he discovered it to be a "[[saddle box]]", a type of drive used for military experimentation. As he was already late on schedule and realized he could not make it to both Tribute and Cygnus in time, he decided to attempt a risky experiment, mounting the saddle box on the ''Butterworth'' and using its former drive to transition out of slipspace near Tribute on the ''Galileo's Worst Enemy'' while the ''Butterworth'' would continue an automated course to Cygnus and deliver the drive for his contract handler, [[Steve (ONI)|Steve]]. | At one point, Birch had arranged a date with [[Gretchen Navarro]] on [[Tribute]] while simultaneously on an assignment given by a contact named [[Steve (ONI)|Steve]] to deliver a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace drive]] to the [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] at [[Cygnus]].

However, as Birch took the ''Galileo's Worst Enemy'' out of the ''Butterworth'''s cargo bay, something went wrong with the plan and the ''Galileo's Worst Enemy'' began to disintegrate under the stresses of slipspace whilst under continuous bombardment by radiation. Birch and Mabel barely made it into a [[cryo-chamber]] and jettisoned out of the ship before its destruction. He then dropped an [[emergency locator beacon]] as they were placed in cryogenic suspension, awaiting rescue. | However, as Birch took the ''Galileo's Worst Enemy'' out of the ''Butterworth'''s cargo bay, something went wrong with the plan and the ''Galileo's Worst Enemy'' began to disintegrate under the stresses of slipspace whilst under continuous bombardment by radiation.
