Shortly before the ship fled the system, the remnants of Noble Team were tasked with delivering a fragment of Cortana's data chip to the ''Autumn''. The ship left drydock immediately afterward. It was nearly destroyed by a Covenant battlecruiser before it could take off, but the Covenant ship was destroyed by [[SPARTAN-B312]] with an [[Mark 2488 Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|Onager MAC]]. | At some point during the conflict, the ''Pillar of Autumn'' returned to drydock at the Aszod ship-breaking facility to rescue any survivors on the planet and retrieve [[Cortana|a package]].
