A Guardian would arrive soon after the ultimatum at [[Sanghelios]]. There it would combat the remains of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]]'s fleet with its conventional weapons. The {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} was still in the system at the time, and upon detecting the Guardian, fled to Earth. Cortana tracked the ship and followed suit.{{Ref/Novel|Id=badbloodchapt1|BadB|Chapter=1}} The Sanghelios Guardian would activate its EMP and disable the electronics in one hemisphere of the planet. It would then move on to pacify other regions of the planet. [[Armiger Soldier]]s would accompany it to help combat resisting [[Sangheili]]. Following this, [[Roland]], an AI that was unswayed by Cortana, contacted Dr. Halsey on Sanghelios and arranged for the ''Infinity'' to pick her and [[Sarah Palmer]] up from the planet.{{Ref/Reuse|badbloodchapt1}}

The [[Unggoy]] homeworld of [[Balaho]] was treated quite differently by the Created, for when the offer of security and provision was extended to them, its residents leapt at the chance to ally themselves with the new galactic power.{{Ref/Reuse|drivingforce}} On [[Meridian]], survivors of the Guardian's emergence days prior, who had been trying to establish contact with the wider galaxy, responded right away to Cortana's offer with a plea for help. In almost no time at all, she personally assured the small group that she heard them and that all would be dealt with in time.{{Ref/Anthology|Id=HFWR|Fra|[[What Remains]]}}

[[Talitsa]] refused outright to bow to Cortana's demands. In response, Talitsa had its power grid knocked out and was invaded by [[Armiger Soldier|Forerunner soldier]]s.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HBB14|BadB|Chapter=14}} Although it is unknown how specifically the [[Gao Republic]] responded, [[Veta Lopis]] believed that [[President of the Gao Republic|President]] [[Arlo Casille]] likely refused Cortana's ultimatum; possibly resulting in retaliatory measures.{{Ref/Novel|DW|13}}
