In [[2531]], ''Circumference'' transported [[SPARTAN-II]]s to investigate ''[[Station Delphi]]'' in the [[Groombridge 34 System]]. During the mission [[SPARTAN-051]] was abducted to train the [[SPARTAN-III]]s. By [[2552]], the Prowler was part of [[Operation: HYPODERMIC]].<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]] page 50</ref>

Prior to, and during, the [[Battle of Reach]], ''Circumference'' was docked at [[Reach Station Gamma]], Bay 9. In an effort to maintain the secrecy of [[Operation: HYPODERMIC|HYPODERMIC]], the Prowler was removed from [[Reach]]'s database after an intrusion into the [[ONI]] database by the [[AI]] [[Cortana]].<ref>[[Halo: Fall of Reach]] pages 269, 281-282</ref> This isolation meant that the Station Gamma Dockmaster AI [[Doppler]] was unable to implement the [[Cole Protocol]] on the ''Circumference''.<ref>[[Halo: Fall of Reach]] page 302</ref>

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. It was during the mission to destroy the NAV database that [[SPARTAN-117]] met [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery J. Johnson]]. The mission also cost very severe injuries to [[Linda-058|SPARTAN-058]], and probably killing [[James]] when his jetpack was ruptured by a needle. <ref>[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]</ref>
