This oversight was detected by [[Covenant]] intrusion software, and the [[Covenant]] dispatched three frigates full of [[Elite]]s, [[Jackal]]s, and [[Rangers]] to recover the [[Prowler]]s NAV database. Three [[SPARTAN-II]]s ([[John-117]], [[Linda-058]], and [[Spartan-James|James]]) were diverted from defending [[Reach]]'s [[Orbital Defense Generator]]s to prevent this. The [[Spartan]]s were successful, using the weapons of a commandeered [[Pelican]] to destroy the ''Circumference'' and the NAV database.
