On October 29, 2558, a new conflict was sparked on the Forerunner shield world Onyx after the joint occupying forces of the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) and the Swords of Sanghelios came under attack by the Servants of the Abiding Truth, only for both sides to be caught by surprise by the appearance of a Guardian and its armiger complement as part of the wider Created takeover across known space. This marked the second major conflict in the Zeta Doradus system after the three-sided Onyx Conflict in the final months of the Human-Covenant War in late 2552.

When the Guardian invade Onyx, the students at the Pax Institute were brought back inside by Kasha 'Hilot and evacuated to the lunch room. Due to the conflict, classes ended early but the teachers decided not to send their students home right away due to the dangers outside. Some of the students protested and questioned Kasha on why they couldn't be sent home early despite some of them living near the Institute. Kasha informed the them that the school is the safest place for everyone. The students believed they would be safer at home and suggested voting on it. However, Kasha told them her decision was final.
