+//FORWARD RECON DEPLOYMENT
+//FROM: ATTENDING AI TURKISH
+//URGENT//TO: DIR. H. BARTON
+"THE FIRE'S WAKE"
+PREMISE...
+AAR snap-feed submitted by TRK 2165—0, see full report for details. Expedition to
+stellar coordinates near accretion disk around KORINTH PRIOR. Arrival Date JUN 8
+at 0221 hours MST.
+First contact with anomalous debris found in orbit around K—type dwarf at 0354
+hours. Commencing exploration aboard ONI prowler TAUROKADO.
+Target: SPIRIT OF FIRE. APOLLO on standby.
+DATA TRAWL...
+// Initial scans Show disk is composed of 94% naturally occurring materials.
+% confirmed Forerunner materials. 2% untraceable.
+// Detritus size spans vast Spectrum. 9% nearing scale of small lunar
+satellites, 84% roughly the size of Taurokado or smaller.
+// Sensors detect low—level shielding sporadically surrounding structures of
+Forerunner origin. Codified as "SITES" hereon.
+// First contact with Site 012, entirely protected by a dissipative
+atmospheric shield. Artificial gravity is extant.
+// Breaching field. No sign yet of UNSC Spirit of Fire.
+// Apollo deployed to surface of Site 012, approaching structure.
+// Structure accessed. Apollo confirms Forerunner origin, details appear
+homogenous to Class—6B configuration from Onyx “SARCOPHAGUS.”
+// Apollo recovering data through passive sensors. Initial scans indicate this
+was a docking site for war vessels, housed within an artificial planetary body.
+Findings validated by extraneous debris: ultra—resilient fibrous mesh exclusively
+of Forerunner origin.
+// Interaction with engineering conduit at Site 042 provides key details.
+Original installation was Shield 0459, formally known as the ETRAN HARBORAGE.
+Original name is loosely translated "TROVE."
+// Survey continues apace. Site 029 found to contain holographic armature
+schematic. Dreadnought classification: "SOJOURNER."
+// Caution taken by Apollo at Site 021. Residual evidence suggests contaminant
+vestiges of FLOOD PARASITE. Shield world self—compromised?
+// Human materials recovered from Site 037. Battleplate consistent with
+Phoenix—class hull. Evidence suggests Spirit of Fire presence.
+// Suspicions confirmed by hull analysis. Recovery of war materiel registered
+to Spirit of Fire. Zero evidence of survivors among debris.
+HOSTILE ENGAGEMENT. . .
+// Scans detect foreign battle group. Covenant presence confirmed.
+// Hostile fighters en route, Seraph formation. Enemy engaging.
+// Apollo deployed via F41s. Direct attack on hostile targets.
+// Apollo dispatches first wave, second wave approaches.
+// Second wave eliminated. Apollo falls back to Taurokado.
+l714// Taurokado releases sensor buoy B89-7. Slips per protocol.
+FINAL EVALUATION.
+% probability that the accretion disk was once an artificial sphere which served
+as a docking port for warships and a shield world.
+% probability that it encountered a "recent" Flood outbreak of some nature. 66%
+probability that the sphere’s destruction was related.
+% probability that Spirit of Fire arrived at the shield world site.
+% probability that Spirit of Fire survived the world’s destruction.
+% probability that the Covenant will attempt to recover technology from the
+field. Recommend discrete asset denial or counter force.
