It may seem inconsequential, but it led directly to the [[Master Chief]]'s boarding of the [[Pillar of Autumn]] during [[The Battle of Reach]].

  • January 19, 2532: Codename: SURGEON gives Codename: SURGEON a progress report on the operation.
  • July ??, 2552: Prowlers search UNSC controlled space for Covenant forces, hoping to locate the enemy's base of operations.
  • August 29, 2552: The AI Cortana discovers that three ships currently docked at Reach orbital stations, the UNSC Circumference, the UNSC Applebee, and the UNSC Lark, are actually ONI, rather than civilian, vessels after intruding into an ONI database. Cortana does not realize that these ships are part of HYPODERMIC.
  • August 30, 2552:
    • 0000 Hours: Mere hours before the Covenant attack fleet is detected at Reach, COALMINER detects the intrusion and removes Circumference from Reach's database to prevent the unauthorized discovery of HYPODERMIC.
