[[CINCONI]] [[Admiral]] [[Serin Osman]]'s personal assistant AI, [[Black-Box]], received advance warning of Cortana's plan to take over the planet. Instead of allying himself with her, however, he instead chose to pass along his knowledge to Osman, who in turn shared it with [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] as well. Pursuant to Article 55 of [[UNSC Regulation 12-14572]], Black-Box and all of the other AIs within [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]] were deactivated, secured for transport, and prepared for final dispensation.{{Ref/Reuse|rw}} Among the AIs secured for transport were Black-Box himself, the [[Maya Sankar]] [[Sankar AI|based AI]],{{Ref/Reuse|rw}} and [[Gabriela]].<ref>''[[ONI Archive]]'' - [[ONI Archive – Reclaiming Our Place - Halo 4|Reclaiming Our Place]]</ref> | [[CINCONI]] [[Admiral]] [[Serin Osman]]'s personal assistant AI, [[Black-Box]], received advance warning of Cortana's plan to take over the planet.

In tandem, various human AIs that had pledged their loyalty to her cause started to shut down electronic devices and networks on multiple colony worlds. From Genesis, Cortana broadcast a message to all corners of space that she could where species resided that could understand it. The message was one of an offer to join in acceptance of her new order and a threat of violence, consummation, and remaking to those who resist.{{Ref/Reuse|Guardians}} | ||

On Earth, this message was received at [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]] as Serin met up with Hood to quickly evacuate. | On Earth, this message was received at [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]] as Serin met up with Hood to quickly evacuate. Although they expected an AI uprising to begin shortly and for a Guardian to arrive, they still were in disbelief upon hearing Cortana's voice. While others in the facility were caught off guard by the transmission, the two of them calmly proceeded to the roof, where they were met by [[Spartan]] [[Orzel]], a [[Spartan-IV]], and escorted to an awaiting [[prowler]]. During this time a [[Guardian]] arrived at Earth and targeted [[Sydney]] intentionally. Multiple [[F-41 Broadsword]]s and the [[UNSC frigate|frigate]] {{UNSCShip|Plateau}} engaged the construct to no effect. Instead, the Broadswords were brought down by blasts of energy. As the prowler with the three aboard prepared to jump to [[slipspace]], the Guardian unleashed a massive [[electromagnetic pulse]] which knocked out every ship in the sky, including the ''Plateau''. Multiple vessels exploded upon impact with the city below. Serin noted after entering the slipstream that if the ''Plateau''{{'}}s [[fusion drive]] detonated when it hit the ground, then the [[city]] would be nothing but a crater.{{Ref/Reuse|rw}} | ||
