The '''Onyx Conflict''' was a battle during the [[Human-Covenant War/Silver|Human-Covenant War]]. Initially an internal conflict between the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] and a small rogue group of [[United Nations Space Command]]-aligned survivors from the [[Fall of Reach/Silver|Fall of Reach]], it escalated into an outbreak after both doctors [[Catherine Halsey/Silver|Catherine Halsey]] and [[Miranda Keyes/Silver|Miranda Keyes]] found [[Flood]] spore samples that infected almost everyone | The '''Onyx Conflict''' was a battle during the [[Human-Covenant War/Silver|Human-Covenant War]].

They enter a dark area and find it filled with [[Flood combat forms]] waiting for them. Kwan and Soren try to fight them off but there are too many and they surround Kwan. Kwan prepares for her infection by closing her eyes but opens to find the infected not moving. [[The Mother]], who has sent Kwan multiple visions talking about a “[[Gravemind|monster]]” and how close it is, speaks to Kwan and tells her that she was once a protector like Kwan before being consumed by the [[Flood]]. Kwan asks what the Flood is and The Mother tells her they are the end before urging Kwan to run as she can’t hold the combat forms back any longer. The infected all snap their heads back to face Kwan in unison. Soren, having escaped the area earlier with his family and Ackerson helps his family escape before turning back for Kwan only to find her running and yelling for them to go. Laera rushes Kessler out with Ackerson saying she’ll be right behind them before closing the door and locking it after everyone gets out safely. Soren asks what Laera is doing and she’s shows him her wrist and that she has been infected. Soren tries to say that she’ll be all right but Laera already knew it was too late for her and turns back and disappeared into the dark hallway. In the base’s command center, the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] are celebrating the [[Battle of Installation 04/Silver|decimation]] of a [[Covenant]] [[First Fleet of Solemn Accord|fleet]]. [[Catherine Halsey/Silver|Doctor Halsey]] contacts Miranda and asks her what she found who tells Halsey she thinks they discovered some sort of parasite that becomes active near humans. Halsey notices several of the officers have strange wounds on them and tries to leave before the infected officers start attacking other personnel and Halsey is attacked by one of the combat forms which has tentacles coming from its mouth. Halsey’s attacker is shot by a guard, who is then quickly overwhelmed by another combat form. Halsey escapes the room and looks back to Admiral [[Margaret Parangosky/Silver|Parangosky]] who is being overwhelmed by combat forms and infected. Halsey heads back to the lab where she becomes fascinated by the Flood while Miranda is horrified by them. Miranda notices an infected scientist outside and urges Halsey that they should leave. Halsey responds but stops mid-sentence and freezes. Miranda then notices that Halsey has been infected by the Flood. | They enter a dark area and find it filled with [[Flood combat forms]] waiting for them.
