After [[Black-One]] was captured by a [[Gatherer]], Iona assisted Black-One and Black-Three on their efforts to rescue her. Black-One was taken into a holding cell deep in the Line Installation, for inspection by its [[Monitor]], [[686 Ebullient Prism]]. After a brief skirmish with Covenant forces also present on the moon, Iona managed to convince some of them to a temporary alliance, due to them having a similar problem. As Three and Four were on their way to where One was being held, Iona's secondary interface was taken over by the Monitor who was trying to hinder the team's progress.<ref>'''Halo: Blood Line''' - ''[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 3|Issue 3]]''</ref> Prism, being a much more advanced construct, chased Iona through Black-Four's MJOLNIR armor systems, and was about to overpower and erase her. However, Prism became distracted when passing through a visualization of altered logs of Black-Four's training. Simultaneously in the physical world, Black-One escaped from her cell and fired at Prism with a [[Gatherer]]'s [[Directed Energy Weapon|energy weapon]], making the monitor disappear from Iona's systems.<ref>'''Halo: Blood Line''' - ''[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 4|Issue 4]]''</ref> | After [[Black-One]] was captured by a [[Gatherer]], Iona assisted Black-One and Black-Three on their efforts to rescue her.

Meanwhile, after subtle manipulation by Prism, Black-Four became determined to settle an old personal grudge with Black-Three. The two engaged in a fight despite Iona and Three trying to settle the matter peacefully. Finally, Iona managed to convince the two to stop fighting and focus on the mission at hand. They headed to the Installation's control center, where the team, now united, destroyed Prism | Meanwhile, after subtle manipulation by Prism, Black-Four became determined to settle an old personal grudge with Black-Three. The two engaged in a fight despite Iona and Three trying to settle the matter peacefully. Finally, Iona managed to convince the two to stop fighting and focus on the mission at hand. They headed to the Installation's control center, where the team, now united, destroyed Prism while bringing down a [[Covenant Fleet]] with the Installation's main weapon. After the fleet crashed to the moon, Iona analyzed the wreckage, finding a possibly functional Slipspace drive in one of the [[Covenant Cruiser|Cruisers]]. Before the team exited the Installation, Iona warned them of over a hundred live Covenant outside, and suggested they wait for the enemies to eventually die of asphyxiation due to the moon not having a breathable atmosphere. Despite this, the team moved outside immediately to engage the enemy forces, with Black-Three declaring the fight to be "almost fair" for the Covenant.<ref name="issue5">'''Halo: Blood Line''' - ''[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 5|Issue 5]]''</ref> | ||
Over the course of the events, Iona occasionally filed status reports of the team's progress. When she was infiltrated by Prism, she already filed a message only to be sent in the event of a total mission failure, or if Team Black was to be neutralized.<ref name="issue5"/> | Over the course of the events, Iona occasionally filed status reports of the team's progress.

*Iona serves as the narrator of the ''[[Halo: Blood Line]]'' comic series, occasionally commenting on the events from an outside standpoint as if they had already happened. The status reports filed by her also serve as introduction pages to each issue. The introduction message for [[Halo: Blood Line Issue 4|Issue 4]] is by 686 Ebullient Prism, due to it having infiltrated Iona's systems during the events of the [[Halo: Blood Line Issue 3|previous issue]]. | *Iona serves as the narrator of the ''[[Halo: Blood Line]]'' comic series, occasionally commenting on the events from an outside standpoint as if they had already happened.
