Upon boarding the ''Mona Lisa'', the Marines were immediately engaged by several unarmored [[Sangheili]] in a cargo bay. Rakesh joined Sergeant Lopez and her team when they went looking for [[Rabbit]], who had disappeared during the skirmish. When they found Rabbit's body, thoroughly mangled by a Sangheili stomping on her chest, Rakesh was disgusted by the sight and smell and vomited on [[Mahmoud]]'s [[VZG7 armored boots|boots]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 254''</ref>

Shortly thereafter, the Marines received new orders to initiate the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]] and purge the ''Mona Lisa'''s navigational databases. They split into two teams, with Rakesh being assigned to the team led by Sergeant Lopez, along with Mahmoud, [[James MacCraw|MacCraw]], [[Percy]] and [[Raj Singh|Singh]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 261''</ref> On their way to the [[bridge]], the team came across a safe room, where they found a lone survivor, [[John Smith]], who later revealed them the nature of the Flood parasite. Not long after, Lopez ordered Smith to open a code-locked [[door]] on the team's way. When he did, a [[Flood infection form]] immediately leaped out, latching onto Rakesh's chest, as he was standing nearby. Percy attempted to save him by pulling the infection form off him, but he was knocked aside as Rakesh struggled in agony. Smith then pushed Rakesh to the other side of the door and shut it again, leaving Rakesh to be devoured by a mass of Flood.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 287-288''</ref>

The Flood repurposed Rakesh's body as a [[Flood combat form|combat form]], which later chased Lopez and MacCraw as they made their way to the ''Mona Lisa'''s bridge.
