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"/>
