On February 4 of that year the ship arrived at [[Harvest]] in the [[Epsilon Indi]] system with intent to survey the situation on the planet and to aid the {{UNSCShip|Prophecy}}, a {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}} that had been crippled in battle with the [[Covenant]]'s [[Fleet of Glorious Interdiction]]. Fire Team India was among four marine units that were scrambled to board the ''Prophecy'' in the midst of an ongoing fight with a few Covenant ships. All together, fire teams India, [[Fire Team Echo|Echo]], [[Fire Team Lima|Lima]], and [[Fire Team November|November]] were able to successfully purge the navigation database of the ''Prophecy'' and rescue those survivors that remained aboard, though these all died shortly thereafter as a result of radiation poisoning contracted during time spent on the damaged ship.<ref name="Genesis">'''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'''</ref> | ||
Later that month, on February 23, a small group of marines from the company were designated "Recon Team India" and deployed to the out surface of a mysterious world the ''Spirit of Fire'' had followed the {{Class|CPV|heavy destroyer}} ''[[Proclamation's Tithe]]'' to. India and another recon team, Recon Team Echo, were tasked with the scouting of potential sites for the establishment of [[firebase]]s. The team made the journey over the alien planet's terrain in an [[M312 Elephant]]. After halting their progress and beginning to unpack the mobile platform, the recon team came under attack from a [[Flood|parasitic lifeform]]. A member of India was in the middle of communicating with the ''Spirit of Fire'' when he and the rest of the team were consumed by the creatures.<ref name="AS">'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level, ''[[Anders' Signal]]''</ref> | Later that month, on February 23, a small group of marines from the company were designated "Recon Team India" and deployed to the out surface of a mysterious world the ''Spirit of Fire'' had followed the {{Class|CPV|heavy destroyer}} ''[[Proclamation's Tithe]]'' to.
