No because it seems that the SoF made it before reach fell, but nice try.
There is no evidence to support that...and what would ONI have done with the whole crew of the ship? Hmmm? There's got to be at the very least a thousand people on the Spirit of Fire, and the ship itself is pretty -blam!- big, how would ONI get it back to UNSC controlled space without alerting anyone outside of ONI and keep a 1,000+ people under wraps? The whole thing just screams unlikely and nigh impossible.
The Mona Lisa, And again i highly doubt there are that many people on the SoF especially after the halowars events.
I've asked this before, and you still haven't answered yet, when is the Mona Lisa set? 'Cause quite frankly none of it sounds like it's right after Combat Evolved ends.
And another guy replied in the thread saying the same thing i tried telling you.
It takes place right after CE before Chief makes it back. Its getting to the point to where i might have to re-read it seeing how only 8-9 people seem to actually have read the story.

Nice theroy Don and thank you for indirectly supporting my point.
Welcome mate ;)
And as for the Mona Lisa timeline issue: If I'm not mistaken, the story takes place several days after the Halo Event. I believe it was somewhere in the story, when they interrogate the doctors etc. But no hard dates are given.

My guess is it somehow was found by the UNSC, and ONI kept it in quarantine and a secret.
This would explain why the UNSC suddenly has a lot of information on the Flood, right after Halo CE (in Mona Lisa, Halo: Evolutions) even without Cortana bringing back the data on Halo...
Maybe it got found by Cole and "his" Rebel troops, and was later found by "accident" when the UNSC encountered it in battle or in a Rebel dock.
Have a bigger theory on the whole SoF thing, will post the complete one later on ;)
EDIT: Found my previous post in another thread about this issue ;)

Ok, here's my theory.
SoF wasn't lost with all hands, it was accidentally recovered by ONI. Why do I think this?
The Evolutions story Mona Lisa takes place in October 2552, on a unspecified day at the Alpha Halo debrisfield.
In the story a team of Marines infiltrates a top secret ONI facility that has been there testing the Flood as bioweapons.
Now: Halo 2 starts off at October 20th. And Alpha Halo is destroyed at September 25th.
The ONI ship arrived at the debris field shortly after the destruction of Halo, presumably within a week or so and began testing with the Flood....
How on Earth do they know about the Flood and Halo at that point? Because Chief and Cortana aren't back on Earth to tell them about the Flood/Forerunners at that point in time. I can (am will at least to) assume the distress call from Cortana when they destoryed Halo and wanted the UNSC to find them, had some minor info about "Flood", but the question still remains: how does ONI suddenly turn up with a fully fleshed out plan to use Flood as bioweapons, even with a ship fully equipped and prepped for such an operation? Thats not something you do in the short period of time they had...
Unless they were prepared for such things and already knew about the Flood in a minor way....which is where SoF comes in to play, because they are the only ones who had UNSC contact with the Flood before them.
So I assume ONI somehow found them, put them in quarantine, covered the whole thing up, and then already planned for what they did during Mona Lisa. Halo is destroyed: Cortana leaves a distress beacon with information in it for the UNSC to find them. However, they capture a Covie ship and make it back to Reach (First Strike) and ONI shows up with their plan to use the Flood...
So you and commander can stop saying "i am the only one saying this" because there is a group of us that came to this conclusion months ago. but seeing how the universe forum is near dead i am pretty much the only one that is here near 24 7.
Ok, I've been doing some research into this, and here's what I've found so far that makes your theory look questionable at best.
First Strike concludes on September 12th and the Mona Lisa is taking place in October, no specific date given, but it would not take that long for the Gettysburg to get back to Earth with news of the Flood, especially since the Unyielding Heirophant was practically in the Sol system.
And in the Mona Lisa they didn't even really know what the Flood was, not at first anyway.
And I'm pretty sure most of the Universe forum has read the Mona Lisa, all the high profile members have at least.
I'm a little out of it right now, so I'll come back with a more coherent and well thought out response tomorrow after I get some sleep.
