Though the station's operations were unhindered for years and the location of ''Splendid Intention'' was discovered, the crew of Fathom were largely unsuccessful in their search for the [[Covenant carrier]]'s weapon plans.

However, during a routine search conducted by twenty-three explorers in [[2556]], ''Splendid Intention'' suddenly shifted from its resting place in the [[Aleutian Rim]] and violently slid down a nearby trench, sending debris and water into Fathom Station's northern terminal. The complex was torn apart and forty-one researchers were killed in the incident. ''Splendid Intention'' and the twenty-three explorers trapped inside the carrier were lost, and operations at Fathom Station did not continue.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | ||
