Piggybacking in the slipspace field of the ''[[Solemn Penance]]'', the ''In Amber Clad'' ended up at [[Installation 05]] in the [[Coelest system]]. With depleted [[Fusion_drive#Use_as_improvised_weapons|engine cores]] and the frigate's weapons currently unavailable, Keyes demanded all information on the installation from [[Cortana]]. Then, Keyes immediately sent John-117 with the ship's contingent of Marine [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s to the surface in [[Human Entry Vehicle]]s, along with two [[D77-TC Pelican]]s, to track down the Prophet of Regret at the [[Temple (Installation 05)|Temple]].<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Delta Halo]]''</ref> After discovering Regret required the installation's [[Activation Index]] to fire the Halo, she took herself, Johnson and his Marines to the [[Library]] in order to retrieve the Index and prevent the Covenant from activating Halo and ordered John-117 to assassinate the Prophet of Regret. The ''In Amber Clad'' remained parked at low-altitude over the Library grounds, remaining on station for the return of its captain.

As Keyes entered the Library, they were immediately attacked by the [[Flood]] and most of her Marines were infected, with only a few eventually making it to the Index. Keyes, Johnson, and what was left of the Marines were ambushed, however, by the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] only a few seconds after retrieving the index.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Quarantine Zone]]''</ref>

Performing a slipspace jump inside the central dome of the Covenant's holy city, the Flood-controlled ''In Amber Clad'' soon crashed into one of the towers lining the city's edge and immediately released the Flood into the city. The Flood made use of the ship's remaining Pelicans to spread out over ''High Charity'', often crashing the ships to inflict maximum damage on the city. The majority of the population was quickly assimilated. At this point, the ship was irreparably damaged and considered destroyed.{{Ref/Reuse|gravemind}}

[[Cortana]] intended to use the ''In Amber Clad''{{'}}s [[Fusion_drive#Use_as_improvised_weapons|engines to destroy]] ''High Charity'' and Installation 05 in the event the Covenant succeeded in activating the ring. Soon after the ring's activation sequence was halted, the Flood overwhelmed ''High Charity'' and Cortana fell under the clutches of the Gravemind, depriving her of the opportunity to destroy the engines even if she wanted to.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[High Charity (level)|High Charity]]''</ref>

The remnants of the ''In Amber Clad'' were likely destroyed when the Flood-infested ''High Charity'' was destroyed by John-117 on the surface of [[Installation 00]] on [[2552#December|December 11, 2552]]. When John-117, the Arbiter, and Cortana escaped from ''High Charity'' after destroying its fusion reactors, they used a damaged but still operational Pelican left in the city.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level, ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]''</ref>
