On [[2558#October|October 28, 2558]], Cortana began to deploy her Guardians throughout the galaxy. In tandem, various human AIs that had pledged their loyalty to her cause started to shut down electronic devices and networks on multiple colony worlds. From Genesis, Cortana broadcast a message to all corners of space that she could where species resided that could understand it. The message was one of an offer to join in acceptance of her new order and a threat of violence, consummation, and remaking to those who would resist. On Earth, this message was received at [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]] as Serin met up with Hood to quickly evacuate. Although they expected an AI uprising to begin shortly and for a Guardian to arrive, they still were in disbelief upon hearing Cortana's voice.While others in the facility were caught off guard by the transmission, the two of them calmly proceeded to the roof, where they were met by [[Spartan]] [[Orzel]], a [[Spartan-IV]], and escorted into a waiting [[prowler]]. During this time a [[Guardian]] arrived at Earth and targeted [[Sydney]] intentionally. Multiple [[F-41 Broadsword|F-41 broadsword]]s and the [[UNSC Frigate|frigate]] {{UNSCship|Plateau}} engaged the construct to no effect. Instead, broadswords were brought down by blasts of energy. As the prowler with the three aboard prepared to jump to [[slipspace]], the Guardian unleashed a massive [[electromagnetic pulse]] which knoecked out every ship in the sky, including the ''Plateau''. Multiple vessels exploded upon impact with the city below. Serin noted after entering the slipstream that if the ''Plateau'''s [[fusion drive]] detonated when it hit the ground, then the city would be nothing but a crater. | On [[2558#October|October 28, 2558]], Cortana began to deploy her Guardians throughout the galaxy.
