Late in her career, Margaret Parangosky restricted the planet Onyx from the rest of the UNSC after they discovered Forerunner ruins on the surface of the planet in 2511. She would return several times to check up on and report on the project, but it was eventually sidelined so funding could go elsewhere.

Spartan-III Project
In 2531, Parangosky, was aboard the, where she attended a meeting with Rear Admiral Rich and Capt. Gibson where Col. James Ackerson would propose the Spartan-III project. Parangosky, approved the creation of Alpha Company, and authorized for Lieutenant Kurt Ambrose to be abducted and made head of the project.

In 2537, Parangosky was once again aboard the Point of No Return, to authorize Beta Company, following the destruction of Alpha Company in Operation: PROMETHEUS.
