Eventually, he is found by [[Lieutenant]] [[Downs]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''pages 37-48''</ref> |
| | *'''September 2nd''': The [[freighter]] ''[[Horn of Plenty]]'' emerges from [[Slipstream Space|Slipspace]] in error, courtesy of a radiation leak, and sends out a distress beacon. The beacon is futile, however, as the ship is attacked and captured by a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] vessel.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 23''</ref> |

Although Halsey often went months and even years without writing in her journal, there is another entry in August which makes no mention of the incident or her pregnancy. It is therefore possible that the date of the journal entry is anachronistic, and should be dated five months earlier.</ref> |
