Although the mission ended up as a 'success', only Lucy and Tom survived the battle. Adam and Min never made it, killed by the Covenant and a reactor, respectively.

Kurt Ambrose rescued her from this fate, along with Tom, convincing [[Margaret Parangosky|Vice Admiral Margaret Parangosky]] that he needed Spartan-IIIs to train the next company of Spartans. Over the next several years, Lucy and Tom became Kurt's adjutants and were instrumental in the training of the third generation of Spartan-IIIs, [[SPARTAN-III Gamma Company|Gamma Company]]. They stayed at Camp Currahee and helped in the training until [[2552]]. By early [[2551]], Lucy and Tom held the rank of Petty Officer Second Class.

When the [[ | When the [[Onyx Conflict]] broke out in late [[2552#October|October 2552]] with [[Onyx Sentinel]]s attacking the humans on the planet, Lucy and Tom were based in [[Camp Currahee]]. After destroying one of the Sentinels in the camp, they met with Lieutenant Commander Ambrose and SCPO Mendez.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', Chapter 15</ref> Lucy accompanied Kurt to retrieve ordnance from his personal armory where he briefly contemplated on donning his old [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|MJOLNIR armor]], revealing to Lucy—to her great surprise—that the lieutenant commander was a SPARTAN-II.<ref name="goo140"/> They subsequently moved to [[El Morro Point]] and, after several days of guerrilla warfare against the Sentinels, met with [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] and [[Blue Team]]. Lucy and Tom subsequently coordinated with [[Linda-058]] to destroy a Sentinel overlooking the area,<ref name="goo29">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', Chapter 29</ref> before the group pushed deeper into the restricted [[Zone 67]] and made their way into an excavated Forerunner city.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', Chapter 30</ref> Pursued by [[Joyous Exultation Covenant|Covenant forces]], they were redirected to destroy a [[Sentinel manufacturing facility]] by Zone 67's ONI AI [[Endless Summer]]. The Spartans successfully destroyed the factory in an operation coordinated by Dr. Halsey via the use of local [[teleporter|translocation nodes]], with Lucy and Tom moving ahead of the others to destroy one of the facility's core components.<ref name="goo33">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', Chapters 33-34</ref> | ||
After retrieving [[Team Katana]], who had been placed in [[slipspace field pod]]s, the group pushed on to Onyx's [[core room antechamber]] where they prepared to make a last stand against the incoming Covenant army to prevent them from accessing the [[slipspace portal]] into the [[Trevelyan|shield world]]. After all of the other survivors had retreated into the portal, Lucy and Tom were the last to remain at Kurt's side. At first, she and Tom were adamant not to leave their mentor behind, but Kurt knocked Tom unconscious and managed to convince a reluctant Lucy into entering the slipspace rift. Before leaving, Lucy made a respectful [[Spartan signals|gesture]] with two fingers to Kurt's faceplate but only managed a half-choked cry when attempting to verbally express her farewell.<ref name="goo368"/> She and Tom were the last to go through, before Kurt detonated two [[FENRIS nuclear warhead]]s, denying the Covenant access to the shield world.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 372''</ref> | After retrieving [[Team Katana]], who had been placed in [[slipspace field pod]]s, the group pushed on to Onyx's [[core room antechamber]] where they prepared to make a last stand against the incoming Covenant army to prevent them from accessing the [[slipspace portal]] into the [[Trevelyan|shield world]].
