In the middle of the [[Battle of Genesis]] on October 28, 2558, Cortana began sending her collected Guardians out to various regions. She than delivered an ultimatum to the galaxy. In this ultimatum, she specifically and directly addressed a number of [[species]], threatened retaliation for those who did not heed her message. Cortana began to decouple, as she herself was planning on leaving on a Guardian with Blue Team's Cryptum. Numerous facilities and ships would begin sending distress signals as they began to witness the effects of the Created.{{Ref/Reuse|guardians}} | In the middle of the [[Battle of Genesis]] on October 28, 2558, Cortana began sending her collected Guardians out to various regions.

For much of the 28th, [[Franklin Mendez]] had preparing for potential issues with the Guardian buried on [[Onyx]]. The ultimatum would occur in the middle of the night there. Cortana's voice played through speakers in houses and every service pylon outside of them in [[Paxopolis]]. Nothing else occurred immediately, with most residents continuing their routines into the next day, though weary and apprehensive due to it.{{Ref/Novel|Halo: Legacy of Onyx|Chapter=21}} | For much of the 28th, [[Franklin Mendez]] had preparing for potential issues with the Guardian buried on [[Onyx]].

On [[Meridian]], survivors of the Guardian emergence days prior, who had been trying to establish contact with the wider galaxy, responded right away to Cortana's offer with a plea for help. In almost no time at all, she personally assured the small group that she heard them and that all would be dealt with in time.<ref name="HFWR">''[[Halo: Fractures]]'', [[What Remains]]</ref> | |||
The [[Unggoy]] homeworld of [[Balaho]] was treated quite differently by the Created, for when the offer of security and provision was extended to them, its residents leapt at the chance to ally themselves with the new galactic power.{{Ref/Reuse|drivingforce}} | |||
[[Talitsa]] refused outright to bow to Cortana's demands. In response, Talitsa had its power grid knocked out and was invaded by [[Promethean Soldier|Forerunner soldier]]s.<ref name="HBB14">''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]'', Chapter 14</ref> | |||
At some point during or after the ultimatum an unidentified [[ONI Section Two]] communications officer was discussing with [[Monique Angelo]] his plans to travel to [[Swanbourne]], when [[Tactical Condition|Combat Alert Alpha]] was declared. The communications officer was on board ''[[Foxtrot 381]]'' when a Guardian EMP pulse went off.<ref>''[[ONI Archive – Reclaiming Our Place - Halo 4]]''</ref> | At some point during or after the ultimatum an unidentified [[ONI Section Two]] communications officer was discussing with [[Monique Angelo]] his plans to travel to [[Swanbourne]], when [[Tactical Condition|Combat Alert Alpha]] was declared.

In return for their cooperation, automated Forerunner vessels, including agricultural support stations, appeared in orbit over the frozen planet. Food, shelter, and medicine were supplied in abundance and as a result of having their material needs met, Unggoy designers and crafters began to work in earnest to breathe new life into Balaho's factories.{{Ref/Site|Id=drivingforce|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-driving-force|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Driving Force}} | |||
