Thirty-seven days later the ''Callisto'' boarded another merchant vessel. They were courteously allowed aboard, however they found the cargo bay empty. The bay doors then opened and they were blasted into space. The merchant crew then swarmed into the ''Callisto'', murdered the remainder of its crew, and gutted and replaced its computer system. | Thirty-seven days later the ''Callisto'' boarded another merchant vessel.

On March 2, [[2494]], the battle group confronted the ''Callisto'' in the 26 Draconis System. The destroyers all fired six of their seven [[Ares Missile|Ares missiles]], and in response, the Insurrectionists maneuvered behind an asteroid, which it then detonated in the direction of the UNSC vessels using a nuclear warhead planted beforehand. The ''Buenos Aires'' was destroyed and the other two destroyers severely damaged. The entire bridge crew was killed or incapacitated, with the exception of [[Second Lieutenant]] [[Preston Cole]], who was left unharmed. As the last remaining bridge officer, Cole took control of the ''Las Vegas''. | On March 2, [[2494]], the battle group confronted the ''Callisto'' in the 26 Draconis System.
