In February 2531, the ''Spirit of Fire'' was sent to assist the crippled {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}} {{UNSCShip|Prophecy}} in the [[Epsilon Indi system]]. [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[James Cutter]] ordered the ''Prophecy's'' navigation database and survivors to be recovered, sending Forge and multiple Marine [[fireteam]]s on board the vessel while ''Spirit of Fire'' engaged several Covenant ships. Forge's Pelican was hit by a Phantom and crash landed upon the ''Prophecy'''s hull. Forge and [[Team Lima]] breached and entered the ''Prophecy''. Upon entering the cruiser the Marines were attacked by [[Kig-Yar Ranger]]s. During this engagement Forge's ankle was broken. With the guidance of [[Serina]], ''Spirit of Fire''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s AI, he was able to find the a terminal to recover the ship's black box and wipe its navigation core while the rest of Team Lima rescued the ship's survivors. Serina warned Forge that the ''Prophecy''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s AI may "act peculiar" due to high radiation levels.<ref name="genesis">'''Halo Wars: Genesis'''</ref> | In February 2531, the ''Spirit of Fire'' was sent to assist the crippled {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}} {{UNSCShip|Prophecy}} in the [[Epsilon Indi system]].

Upon scanning his retina to gain access to the terminal, Forge was halted by the ship's AI, [[FitzGibbon]], who explained he could not allow him to enter due to the latter's poor [[Career Service Vitae|service record]]. Forge reminded the AI of the [[Cole Protocol]], stating that he was aboard the vessel to ensure the protocol would not to be violated. FitzGibbon then reluctantly allowed Forge into the terminal room and enabled radiation repair routines. Forge purged the navigation database and returned to the Pelicans as FitzGibbon activated ''Prophecy'''s self-destruct sequence, which soon scuttled the ship. After the Marines and Forge escaped with the survivors, they were taken to ''Spirit of Fire''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s medical bay. When Forge asked how the survivors were doing, Serina told him that they would all soon die due to all of them suffering extensive radiation poisoning. Forge was angered by the AI's indifference towards the survivors and comforted them in their final moments, believing that even if they would soon be dead, they were still people and so deserved better.<ref name="genesis"/> | Upon [[Retinal scanner|scanning his retina]] to gain access to the terminal, Forge was halted by the ship's AI, [[FitzGibbon]], who explained he could not allow him to enter due to the latter's poor [[Career Service Vitae|service record]].

Forge was sent to the surface of [[Harvest]] on his first mission to scout out Covenant activity in the northern polar region of the planet.
