On [[2558#September|September 2558]], Molly was living in [[Aranuka]] on [[Earth]], along her "Newparents" [[Yong Lee]] and [[Asha Moyamba]]. One day, Yong and Asha came home early, informing Molly that they will leave Anaruka because they were hired by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] to study [[Forerunner]] technology on [[Sarcophagus]], living alongside [[Sangheili]] and [[Unggoy]] from the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]. Molly roundly refuses to move with them because of her hate against those species and the Covenant as a whole, even if the Swords are allied with the humans, but when her Newparents mentions [[Spartan Operations|Spartans]] will be present to maintain the [[shield world]] secure from any threats, both internal and external, she reticently accepts the move, but plans to leave Sarcophagus when she turns 18. Inside Sarcophagus, a small battle starts near the [[Project GOLIATH|Project: GOLIATH]] site, with Forerunner [[armiger]]s appearing out of nowhere; Spartans [[Tom-B292]] and [[Lucy-B091]] are dispatched to handle the enemy forces. After the battle, they inform [[Franklin Mendez]] that the armigers were protecting the site, not attacking it. On [[Hesduros]], [[Dural 'Mdama]], "the Pale Blade" and new leader of the [[Servants of Abiding Truth]], led his forces to the planet and makes an alliance with [[Panom|the]] [[kaidon]] of the [[Panom keep]] to gain access to the same [[slipspace]] portal Dural's father, [[Jul 'Mdama]], used to escape from Sarcophagus [[2553|five years ago]]. | On [[2558#September|September 2558]], Molly was living in [[Aranuka]] on [[Earth]], along her "Newparents" [[Yong Lee]] and [[Asha Moyamba]].

Days later, Molly, along with her Newparents and other families, are transported to Sarcophagus | Days later, Molly, along with her Newparents and other families, are transported to Sarcophagus onboard the {{UNSCShip|Milwaukee}}, a {{Class|Poseidon|light carrier}} repurposed as a civilian transport and refitted with some [[Forerunner]] technology recovered inside the shield world. On the ship, they are received by Doctor [[Hugo Barton]], who fills them with the history of [[Onyx]] and some information about Sarcophagus. After settling on [[Paxopolis]], Molly and her Newparents are visited by Mendez, Tom, and Lucy. After being dismissed, Molly hides to hear what the Spartans, Mendez, and her Newparents are talking about, hearing about the incidents happening on Project: GOLIATH's site and how it is repeating itself on several human colonies, and some internal problems between the humans and the Sangheili inside Sarcophagus. After hearing that, Molly interrupts the discussion to express her opinion on how hard it is to get over the ghosts of the war. During the discussion, Molly notes [[Kasha 'Hilot]], headmaster of the [[Pax Institute]], is outside her home. Although initially reluctant, Molly greets Kasha, with both talking about the Institute and its students. Kasha hopes Molly and her family became good allies with the rest of Paxopolis, but Molly is not very convinced of it. | ||
On Hesduros, "Pale Blade" orders to some of his forces to bring [[Even Keel]], a [[Huragok]], to fix the slispace portal near Panom, and, as a sign of "gratitude" to Panom's kaidon, he leaves behind a complement of vehicles and weapons for Panom's warriors in case the Swords of Sanghelios show up again. After crossing the portal, "Pale Blade" and his forces arrive inside Sarcophagus, where he has a heated discussion with [[Buran 'Utaral]], and recalls [[Raia 'Mdama|his mother's]] death, the disappearance of both his father Jul and his brother [[Asum 'Mdama|Asum]], and his recruitment into the Servants by [[Avu Med 'Telcam]]. The Servants establish a base inside a Forerunner facility and take notice of a pair of Marines, who were exploring the surroundings; "Pale Blade" orders them both killed and the facility secured. Dural kills one of the Marines himself, noting she is technically the first human he has ever slain. | On Hesduros, "Pale Blade" orders to some of his forces to bring [[Even Keel]], a [[Huragok]], to fix the slispace portal near Panom, and, as a sign of "gratitude" to Panom's kaidon, he leaves behind a complement of vehicles and weapons for Panom's warriors in case the Swords of Sanghelios show up again.
