On January 2553, the {{UNSCShip|Ariadne}} experienced reactor complications and was forced to drop out of [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] near [[Venezia]]. Having received no assistance from the [[Insurrectionist]]-controlled colony, ''Ariadne'' sent a message to [[Earth]] asking for help. Two days later the ''Monte Cassino'' was dispatched - both to evacuate the ship's crew and to rendezvous with the {{UNSCShip|Port Stanley}} for a personnel transfer. Slipspace time dilation effects caused a five-hour delay, however - the reactor exploded before any help could arrive, and the ''Ariadne'' was lost with all hands. | On January 2553, the {{UNSCShip|Ariadne}} experienced reactor complications and was forced to drop out of [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] near [[Venezia]].

The ship evaded fire and easily destroyed the cannon with missiles. Prior to the ''Monte Cassino'''s return trip to [[Earth]], the ''Port Stanley'' transferred [[ONI]] operative [[Mike Spenser]] and [[civilian]] [[Tom Muir]] to the ship. | ||
