Kurt, [[Franklin Mendez|CPO Mendez]] and the Spartan-IIIs were soon joined by [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] and later, [[Blue Team]], and they eventually made their way into an excavated Forerunner city in [[Zone 67]]. Meanwhile, both the [[Joyous Exultation Covenant|Covenant]] and the UNSC sent battle groups to retrieve Onyx's Forerunner technologies. The [[Patterson's battle group|UNSC battle group]] was destroyed in the ensuing battle.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 376''</ref> The humans, led by Kurt, fell back into the interior of Onyx and discovered its map room, where they were redirected by Endless Summer to destroy Onyx's Sentinel factory. Eventually, the survivors made a last stand against the Covenant in the core room antechamber, before retreating into the safety of the shield world. After the gateway into the shield world had closed, Kurt detonated two [[FENRIS nuclear warhead|nuclear warheads]], ensuring the Covenant did not follow his comrades. Immediately afterward, the Sentinels that had made up Onyx's foundational structure obliterated the terrestrial surface and decimated the Covenant fleet.{{Ref/Reuse|disintegrate}} | Kurt, [[Franklin Mendez|CPO Mendez]] and the Spartan-IIIs were soon joined by [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] and later, [[Blue Team]], and they eventually made their way into an excavated Forerunner city in [[Zone 67]].
