UNSC Apocalypso

The UNSC Apocalypso was a United Nations Space Command Office of Naval Intelligence Prowler.

While in Covenant space, the Apocalypso intercepted Covenant transmissions detailing attacks on Troy and Harmony. The Covenant, suspecting that their transmissions were intercepted, sent out a Trojan Horse A.I. buried in a transmission that the Apocalypso was meant to receive. The A.I., calling itself the A.I. Seeker, began to subtly corrupt the shipboard A.I. Melissa.

Realizing that there was something wrong with her AI, Captain Greene decided to bring the ship back to Earth. Just as the ship was about to head back, long-range scanners picked up a curious object floating in space. The ship's crew believed that the object was a Covenant artifact of new design, but infact it was a Forerunner artifact.

The Seeker attempted to alert the Covenant of the artifact's existence, but without the Apocalypso taking notice. The Seeker was able to get Melissa to influence a crewmember to fiddle with the Forerunner artifact. The artifact sent out an explosion through Slipspace, causing the ship to crash within Lunar orbit and blackouting communications in the Solar System for about* seven seconds.

* ''At one point, Melissa says it was nearly seven seconds. However, later she says that it was over seven seconds.''
