The ''Prophecy'' was heavily damaged during the ongoing battle for Harvest, forcing all its crew to evacuate the ship in lifepods. Unfortunately, the lifepods were caught in the radiation pulse of the ships engines. Half of those were subjected to extreme amounts of radiation, managing barely to survive, while the other half were killed.<ref>http://www.graemedevine.com/graemedevine/Spirit_of_Fire/Entries/2009/1/23_Medbay.html</ref> The lifepods were picked up by the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, where the survivors were made comfortable. All died slow agonizing deaths, with no spare morphine to ease their pain. Sergeant [[John Forge]] was sent aboard the ship in a Pelican with his squad to recover survivors, but was redirected by Serina to purge its NAV database. The ships AI, Fitzgibbon, prevented Forge from accessing the database because of his unprofessional record, but eventually relented when informed that his actions breached the Cole Protocol. Allowing Forge to purge the database, Fitzgibbon then initiated a self-destruct sequence, destroying the ship to deny its access to the Covenant. | The ''Prophecy'' was heavily damaged during the ongoing battle for Harvest, forcing all its crew to evacuate the ship in lifepods.

The survivors were also deemed to be a lost cause, the radiation doses they had received were too much to survive. Such a callous assessment of living humans greatly upset Captain James Cutter.<ref>''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]''</ref> | ||
