On [[2557#July|July 20, 2557]],<ref name="Game Informer May 2012">'''Game Informer''': ''May 2012''</ref> precisely four years, seven months, and ten days after the Battle of Installation 00, Cortana noticed that the ship's intruder alarms had been activated and awakened John-117 from [[Cryonics|cryosleep]]. After being revived, John fought off the intruders, who turned out to be [[Sangheili]], [[Kig-Yar]] and [[Unggoy]]. The Chief and Cortana soon realized that a [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant fleet]] had surrounded the ''Forward Unto Dawn's'' remains while a group of [[Type-44 Phantom|Phantoms]] unloaded more boarders onto the heavily damaged frigate. During the fight through the ship, the Master Chief managed to launch one of the ship's [[M4093 Hyperion nuclear delivery system|''Hyperion'' nuclear missiles]] and destroy a nearby {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}} which was approaching to destroy the ship's remains with its ventral [[energy projector]] but did not bother to raise its shields. Shortly afterwards, the ''Dawn's'' remains were caught in the [[gravity well]] of the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] of [[Requiem]] and was drawn inside. Though John attempted to escape using one of the ''Dawn's'' escape pods, he was sucked into space before he could board one.{{Ref/Reuse|Dawn}} The remnants of the ''Dawn'' did not survive atmospheric entry and the ship was torn to pieces, scattered over a kilometers-wide swath on the surface, along with the attacking Covenant vessels.{{Ref/Level|Id=Requiem|H4|[[Requiem (level)|Requiem]]}} | On [[2557#July|July 20, 2557]],<ref name="Game Informer May 2012">'''Game Informer''': ''May 2012''</ref> precisely four years, seven months, and ten days after the Battle of Installation 00, Cortana noticed that the ship's intruder alarms had been activated and awakened John-117 from [[Cryonics|cryosleep]].

Fortunately, dozens of weapons and a handful of [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|M12 Warthog LRVs]] survived the crash, enabling John and Cortana to scout the surface of the shield world.
