Battle of Genesis: Difference between revisions

After arriving on [[Genesis]], a [[Forerunner]] [[Builder]] installation serving as a link to the [[Domain]], Blue Team fought their way through Jul 'Mdama's Covenant forces who had crashed landed there. They eventually reached a structure where they encountered the [[Warden Eternal]]. The Warden introduced himself as Cortana's defender and questioned John-117's motivations while simultaneously deploying several waves of Prometheans to confront the Spartans. After an extended battle, Blue Team were able to defeat the Prometheans, destroying one of the Warden's bodies in the process. Immediately afterward, Blue Team were contacted by Cortana, who informed them of her intention to uphold the [[Mantle of Responsibility]]. John voiced concern over the fundamental nature of the Mantle, which were quickly dismissed by Cortana. Fighting their way through several more Promethean squadrons, Blue Team eventually reached the structure known as the [[Gateway]], described as a link between Genesis and the Domain.{{Ref/Level|Halo 5: Guardians|[[Reunion]]}}

Learning what had happened, Osiris moved to destroy the gravitational cores holding the Cryptum in place, while fighting Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and Promethean forces. Before Osiris could retrieve Blue Team, however, Cortana removed the Cryptum from its resting point and placed it within a Guardian. In a final effort to free Blue Team, Exuberant led Osiris to an elevator which led to a communications relay from which Cortana maintained control of the Genesis installation. After Osiris defeated several waves of Promethean forces, Exuberant was able to activate the elevator. Osiris made their way to the relay, significantly hampered by the concussive blasts of the Guardian which held the Cryptum. Locke finally reached the relay core and destroyed it, breaking Cortana's control over Genesis and freeing Exuberant to release a swarm of [[Constructors]]. The Constructors forced the Cryptum from the Guardian's grasp just before it entered slipspace. The Constructors opened the Cryptum and Blue Team was reunited with Osiris.

Following Cortana’s departure, both Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris together fought their way through hordes of Promethean constructs to reach [[India 127|a Pelican]] that had previously arrived on the planet via a Guardian’s Slipspace entry. Agreeing to return to Sanghelios, the joint team requested Exuberant’s help, who opened a [[Slipspace portal]] for them.{{Ref/Reuse|BB}}

Both teams successfully arrived at Sanghelios and reunited with the [[Swords of Sanghelios]], Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]] and Commander [[Sarah Palmer]]. The next day, the surviving UNSC forces linked up with the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.{{Ref/Reuse|BB}}{{Ref/Reuse|h5gguardians}} Genesis remained active, now the so-called base for Cortana's Created soldiers.{{Ref/Book|Id=BB|[[Halo: Bad Blood]]}}
