Less than an hour after the ship's arrival, the crew was automatically awoken from [[Cryonics|cryosleep]] by the vessel's deceased Serina, who had left a message for the ship's [[UNSC rank structure|captain]], [[James Cutter]], informing him of the status of the ship, the crew, and herself. After arriving at the ''Spirit of Fire''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s observation deck, Cutter was briefed on the situation by Professor [[Ellen Anders]], who told him that the [[astronavigation]] system placed them outside the Milky Way. When Cutter discovered they had arrived via slipspace portal, Anders revealed to him that something on the surface of the Ark had opened the portal and pulled them in. Not a second later, Cutter was informed over [[COM|comms]] that a message was being transmitted from the surface through a [[UNSC]] frequency, however its encryption was too advanced for the crew's outdated decryption techniques. Instead of spending time decoding it, Cutter asked Anders for the source of the transmission and ordered [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[Red Team]] to prepare a recon squad and find the source of the signal.<ref name="The Signal" /> | Less than an hour after the ship's arrival, the crew was automatically awoken from [[Cryonics|cryosleep]] by the vessel's deceased Serina, who had left a message for the ship's [[UNSC rank structure|captain]], [[James Cutter]], informing him of the status of the ship, the crew, and herself.
