Several months after the COG came to Vectes, the Montagnon went out with several other trawlers on a fishing trip, with Cpl.Damon Baird and Pvt.Augustus Cole on board to provide security. After several hours of fishing, the Coral Star trawled up a Lambent creature, and the crew was forced to evacuate before it exploded, destroying the Coral Star. The Montagnon picked up the crew, Sgt.Marcus Fenix, and Sgt.Bernadette Mataki, and returned to Vectes Naval Base.
