==Background==
==Background==
In January 2553, the ''Ariadne'' experienced complications and was forced to drop out of slipspace near [[Venezia]]. Commander Pasquale made contact with the colony, asking for permission to land nonessential personnel for safety reasons. Venezia refused to comply with the request. After their refusal Commander Pasquale sent a databurst, containing a video transmission showing the ship's pennant code ident and asking Earth for help with a technical problem their engineers were having.<ref name= "databurst"></ref> Two days later the ship was still undergoing heavy repairs, the {{UNSCShip|Monte Cassino}} had arrived to take off the ship's nonessential crew, perhaps abandoning the ship all together.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 126''</ref>
On [[2553|January 2553]], the ''Ariadne'' experienced reactor complications and was forced to drop out of [[slipspace]] near [[Venezia]]. Commander Pasquale made contact with the colony, asking for permission to land nonessential personnel for safety reasons. The [[Insurrectionist]] colony refused to comply with the request. The ''Ariadne'' then requested assistance from [[Earth]].<ref name= "databurst"></ref> The {{UNSCShip|Monte Cassino}} was then scheduled to arrive two days later, but slipspace travel's unpredictable nature causes a five-hour delay. The ''Ariadne'''s reactor went into meltdown and overloaded shortly after the {{UNSCship|Port Stanley}} arrived in-system, destroying the ship.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 126''</ref>
