Blue Team tracked Cortana down and John confronted her, stating that he had been aware of her attempts to manipulate him psychologically and questioned her about the loss of life that awakening the Guardians had wrought. Cortana insisted that the entire galaxy would know peace once she had attained the Mantle, despite the Chief's counterpoint that she could never achieve peace by ruling through fear. Certain that the Chief now stood against her, Cortana forcefully imprisoned him and Blue Team within a Cryptum, intending to keep them there for ten thousand years until her power would be consolidated and she could show them what her peace had wrought, and began preparing it for slipspace travel.<ref name="h5 the breaking">'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level, ''[[The Breaking]]''</ref> | Blue Team tracked Cortana down and John confronted her, stating that he had been aware of her attempts to manipulate him psychologically and questioned her about the loss of life that awakening the Guardians had wrought.

Cortana then made a general broadcast that was heard throughout [[Milky Way|the galaxy]] in which she offered an end to hunger and pain which she could bring, while also threatening those who would resist her leadership with violence.<ref name="HFRW"/> On Earth, her words were heard while it was evening in [[Sydney]] and a Guardian sent there at her direction was already hanging over the city skyline before she'd finished speaking.<ref name="HFRW"/> Another she directed to [[Sanghelios]].<ref name="HBB1"/> The [[Unggoy]] of [[Balaho]] decided they would accept her edicts, so she sent an army of [[Forerunner]] [[Promethean Soldier|soldier]]s there to secure the [[UEG]] embassy in [[Gedgow]], its capital.<ref name="HBB3"/> The entire embassy was destroyed ane nearly everyone inside was killed.<ref name="HBB3"/> At [[Meridian Station]], survivors of the Guardian emergence days earlier immediately sent a response upon hearing Cortana's words, asking for her help.<ref name="HFWR"/> She in kind sent an instant reply in which she promised all would be dealt with in time.<ref name="HFWR"/> On Genesis, Cortana noticed the Spartans of [[Fireteam Osiris]] were moving with haste toward the communications relay she'd been using to block [[031 Exuberant Witness]] master level access of the installation.<ref name="H5GGU"/> She audibly questioned what they were doing and declared the Reclamation to have begun, seeing as her Guardians were deployed. She claimed that peace would soon ring across the known galaxy as the last Guardian, with her aboard, as successive blasts from its [[disruption generator]] worked to push the Spartans back. Just as she was about to depart, she then asked where where the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} was, as she was having difficulty locating it and could not figure out why. Certain she'd find it soon enough, she locked in [[slipspace]] coordinates, secured the Cryptum, and made one final taunt toward Spartan [[Jameson Locke|Locke]]. However, to her surprise, Exuberant Witness regained control at that moment and leveraged the assistance of a multitude of [[Constructor]] sentinels to steal away the Cryptum just as Cortana's Guardian jumped to slipspace.
