Using the Janus Key, 'Mdama's faction worked to pinpoint the location of the [[Absolute Record]], a repository of [[Forerunner]] knowledge. On [[2558#September|September 15, 2558]], while within the [[Urs system]], Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]] believed she discovered the Absolute Record's location while analyzing the Janus Key. Meanwhile, the UNSC's [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] put together a team composed of Spartans [[Sarah Palmer]], [[Gabriel Thorne]], [[Holly Tanaka]], Doctor [[Henry Glassman]], and [[Ayit 'Sevi]]—a mercenary within Jul's ranks working for ONI.

Using 'Sevi's false affiliation with Jul's forces, the team took a [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] and stalled away aboard ''Breath of Annihilation'', with the intention of revealing the location of the Absolute Record to the UNSC. When ''Breath of Annihilation'' and the rest of the fleet departed for the Absolute Record's apparent location, they discovered an apparently artificial gas giant with a [[slipspace portal]] leading to their true destination. However, slipspace ruptures suddenly destroyed two cruisers within the fleet and heavily damaged ''Annihilation''.{{Ref/Reuse|HE19}} | ||
While the carrier's crew rushed to repair their ship, the UNSC team aboard ''Breath of Annihilation'' lost their [[Telemetry probe|way of communication]] with ONI when the slipspace rupture formed. With their Phantom damaged, they resolved to travel to a nearby [[hangar bay]] to steal another Phantom. Creating a smoke screen, 'Sevi exited his [[dropship]] and began eliminating the Covenant soldiers in the hangar. He traveled to a nearby hangar and hijacked a Phantom, while the Spartans and Glassman followed. While moving to 'Sevi's position, the humans encountered a group of oncoming Covenant soldiers. After a quick firefight, the humans made their way to the hangar, where a [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]] prepared to fire upon them. However, 'Sevi destroyed the tank with the Phantom. The team escaped the damaged carrier aboard the dropship and embarked for ''Song of Retribution''. Rumors of a Spartan attack in ''Breath of Annihilation'' spread to the carrier's shipmaster, and eventually reached ''Retribution''. While the shipmaster sent out search teams to check for Spartans, 'Mdama decided that only his carrier would enter the slipspace portal to the Absolute Record while ''Breath of Annihilation'' remained behind with the rest of the fleet to make emergency repairs at a nearby [[moon]].
