In late February and early March of 2560, Agryna oversaw the retrieval and containment of a Jiralhanae AI, [[Iratus]], within the academy's network. While initially successful, Iratus was ultimately able to escape containment, resulting in the total loss of the Avery J. Johnson academy by the [[Banished]]. These events began on [[2560#February|February 15, 2560]],{{Ref/Reuse|CFFalcFic}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFTomes}} when Agryna was present for the return of Spartans Eklund and Dinh at the academy, following their mission to [[Camber]]. During their mission, Dinh had come into contact with Iratus, resulting in the AI infecting Dinh's [[neural interface]] and putting him into a coma. Agryna, alongside Rook and the base staff, helped the two Spartans inside and proceeded to debrief Eklund on what had happened. Agryna declared that they had to separate the AI from Dinh, and afterwards, get it to tell them everything it knew.{{Ref/Game|HINF|Halo Infinite Season 2 Lone Wolves Intro Cinematic}} To this end, Agryna had the academy's technicians upload the schematics of the [[Breaker|Banished facility]] on Camber to the Academy's [[War Games|combat simulation]]. On February 18, she ordered as many recruits as possible to hit the sim, hoping to irritate Iratus enough to leave Dinh and go after them. The ploy worked, and Iratus was seemingly contained, along with the Banished archive.{{Ref/Reuse|Interference}} | In late February and early March of 2560, Agryna oversaw the retrieval and containment of a Jiralhanae AI, [[Iratus]], within the academy's network.

Throughout the next few days, academy staff noticed a number of glitches within their systems, a result of Iratus attempting to escape confinement. Ultimately, on February 29,{{Ref/Reuse|CFFalcFic}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFTomes}} the AI was able to escape into the broader network, effectively taking control of the academy with the aim of calling the Banished for help. Commander Agryna and the base technicians responded quickly, attempting to slow down Iratus' control by flooding the AI with zetabytes of randomly-generated junk data, though this measure could only stall Iratus, and not stop him. Realising that it was only a matter of time until Iratus was able to call the Banished to Nysa, Agryna made the decision to order a evacuation of the base's key personnel aboard the academy's sole {{Class|Zheng He|courier}}, alongside the enactment of the [[Cole Protocol]] to prevent enemy access to the base's data stores.

Agryna reasoned that with Laconia Station lost, and [[Naxos Station|Naxos]] and [[Virgo Station]]s unknown (but presumably lost or compromised due to them also having a [[Leonidas]] AI), ANVIL was the best bet due to its lack of an AI. While the SOS was successfully sent, Iratus was also able to use the base's [[Wavecom|deep-space communications]] to send out his own distress signal, calling the Banished to Nysa.{{Ref/Novel|Id=BFTA1|Halo: Battle for the Academy - Part 1}} | ||
Ultimately, Iratus used Agryna's distraction to take control of the academy's [[Surface-to-air missile launcher|surface-to-air missile]] defences and use them to fire upon the attempted evacuation of the base. The AI then proceeded to turn the missiles on the base itself, giving Agryna a critical decision to make; she could destroy the launchers and leave the base defenseless against the Banished, or allow the launchers to destroy the base and have nothing left to defend. Ultimately she chose the former, ordering all of the base's available air assets to destroy the SAMs before they could reload and fire again.{{Ref/Reuse|BFTA1}} The attack began three days later on March 3, with the arrival of the [[New Colonial Alliance]]'s [[Banished dreadnought|dreadnought]] ''[[Ghost of Kholo]]'' in orbit. Before beginning the invasion, Agryna was invited to a parley with the NCA's leader, [[Ilsa Zane]], in which Zane demanded that Agryna turn over Iratus and in return, the Banished would leave with no bloodshed; and if Agryna handed over Dinh, Zane would even keep her word. Agryna refused these terms to Zane's delight, resulting in the start of a massive invasion of the planet.{{Ref/Reuse|BFTA2}} | Ultimately, Iratus used Agryna's distraction to take control of the academy's [[Surface-to-air missile launcher|surface-to-air missile]] defences and use them to fire upon the attempted evacuation of the base.

Agryna joined the Spartans in the defence of the base, though almost immediately began to question whether the attack could have been prevented had she made better decisions prior. She took a team consisting of Spartans herself, [[Eusebio]] and [[Denning]] to fend off the Banished and made it to Ops West, wherein they put the base into lockdown, which was promptly overriden by Iratus - who proceeded to unlock and open all of the base's doors and gates to the Banished. At this point she sent out a number of fireteams to enact the Cole Protocol at the base's outlying facilities and hopefully limit the damage the Banished could inflict.{{Ref/Reuse|BFTA2}} | Agryna joined the Spartans in the defence of the base, though almost immediately began to question whether the attack could have been prevented had she made better decisions prior.

''Conjunction'' was the first to deploy forces onto Nysa, consisting of multiple [[Drop pod|orbitally-dropped]] [[Riftborn]] teams who were tasked with finding and locating Commander Agryna for exfiltration. One of the teams was able to eventually find Agryna at the cost of a Sangheili warrior, [[Ovi 'Taar]]. Agryna's group (now consisting of herself, Dinh, and Eklund) found 'Taar in his final moments and were able to rescue his Riftborn partner, an injured Spartan [[Adrian Vesco]]. The group then retreated into the base's AI lab to await exfiltration. By this point, the enactment of the Cole Protocol and [[RUINA]] subroutine had forced Iratus into the AI lab's servers to prevent his own deletion; the group would be unable to wipe Iratus from the system, but Vesco had a tracking beacon that would be able to call an exfiltration ship to their position. Agryna initially refused to leave, vowing that as the base's commander she should go down with the planet; however, she was persuaded by Chief Engineer [[Hannah Roberts]], who noted that any remaining effort to resist the Banished was futile. Roberts could stay and try to purge as much data from the system as possible so that ''when'' the Banished arrived to take posession of the AI, they would have as little UNSC intel as possible. Agryna reclutantly agreed to this plan, and the four Spartans retreated to the academy's landing pad to be evacuated by Pelican ''[[Bravo 198]]'', with [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-IIIs]] [[Jun-A266]] and [[Rosenda-A344]] leading the group to extract.{{Ref/Reuse|BFTA2}} | ||

In the report, Agryna took full responsibility for the fall of Nysa, and felt that she had failed to live up to the standards expected of her. She also recommended all of the fallen on Nysa for full posthumous commendation.{{Ref/Reuse|CFFalcFic}} | ||
