Once the ship had arrived safely at [[Installation 04]], it was discovered that the [[Halcyon-class Cruiser|UNSC Halcyon-class cruiser]] ''{{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}'' had been followed through Slipspace by around a dozen Covenant ships, who ultimately engaged the ''Autumn'' and sent several boarding parties to board the ship. [[Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] ordered John to be woken from cryosleep, and tasked him with ensuring the escape of, [[Cortana]] (who was acting as the ship's AI), while he crash-landed the ''Pillar of Autumn'' on the unidentified ring.
