+==History==
+In [[2558]], the [[Librarian]]'s stored personality on [[Requiem]] instructed Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]] to take the [[Janus Key]] to the Absolute Record.<ref name="Key"/> After the [[Battle of Aktis IV|events]] on [[Aktis IV]], Dr. Halsey and [[Jul 'Mdama]] managed to acquire both halves of the Janus Key, revealing the location of the Absolute Record.<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 16|Issue #16]]''</ref> After several months, Halsey was able to pin-point the exact coordinates of the Absolute Record by analyzing the completed Janus Key. With their destination revealed, 'Mdama's [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant fleet]] set course for the Absolute Record. However, unbeknownst to the Covenant, a [[UNSC]] team consisting of [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartans]] [[Sarah Palmer|Palmer]], [[Gabriel Thorne|Thorne]], [[Holly Tanaka|Tanaka]], [[Henry Glassman|Dr. Glassman]], and [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] operative [[Ayit 'Sevi]] managed to infiltrate a {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}—''[[Breath of Annihilation]]''—within 'Mdama's fleet, with the intentions to reveal the location of the Absolute Record to the UNSC.<ref name="HE19">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 19|Issue #19]]''</ref>
+When the fleet arrived at an apparently artificial gas giant, the Janus Key reacted and a [[slipspace portal]] opened nearby. However, [[slipspace]] ruptures destroyed two [[Covenant cruiser|cruisers]] within the fleet and damaged ''Breath of Annihilation''.<ref name="HE19"/> While the Covenant fleet recovered, Thorne and 'Sevi attempted to regain contact with the UNSC on ''Annihilation'' while Palmer, Tanaka, and Glassman traveled to ''[[Song of Retribution]]''—'Mdama's [[flagship]]. Shortly after, ''Song of Retribution'' entered the portal alone and arrived at the Absolute Record, where the installation's [[Contender-class artificial intelligence]] detected the [[human]]s aboard the carrier.<ref name="he20"/>
