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. Numerous facilities and ships would begin sending distress signals.{{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}} | ||

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> | |||
