Ash was assigned to lead [[Team Saber]]. When [[Onyx]] came under attack by [[Sentinels]], the teams were still competing for top honors, and Ash had nearly lost it for his team by walking into a trap set up by one of the other teams. In an effort to avoid additional traps, he took his team dangerously close to [[Zone 67]] to avoid the other teams. There, the team spied what they assumed at the time to be a new kind of [[Covenant]] drone because of the energy shields.

They decided to investigate, and the drones -- [[Sentinels]] -- engaged. Ash dispatched scouts to reconnoiter and figure out the weak spots of the drones. He and the rest of the team hurled rocks at the drones and to their surprise, the robots' shields did not activate. Curiously enough, one drone responded to Ash's COM, and talked to him in [[Latin]]<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 133 - "Fhejelet 'Pnught Juber."</ref>, calling him "[[Reclaimer]]".

The team then moved to the armory to get some real firepower. [[Team Saber]] met up with Kurt-051, [[Mendez]], Tom, and Lucy, and the [[SPARTANs]] proceeded to play life and death games of cat and mouse with the [[Sentinels]]. The team met up with [[Kelly-087]] and [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]], escorting the two to a bombed out bunker. In the bunker, [[Dr. Halsey]] revealed the origin of the [[Sentinels]] and what to do next.

Just as [[Team Saber]] was in the middle of battling the [[Sentinels]], the [[Covenant]] destroyer ''[[Bloodied Spirit]]'' dropped out of Slipspace over [[Onyx]], carrying the remaining members of [[Blue Team]]: [[SPARTAN-104]], [[SPARTAN-058]] and [[SPARTAN-043]]. The ship landed rather abruptly in the forest at the source of an E-Band signal that Kurt-051 and the other [[SPARTANs]] had sent.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 230</ref> Ash and the others were knee deep in [[Sentinel]] trouble and decided to retreat back to [[Zone 67]] and regroup, with [[Blue Team]].

By now, the team had figured out that the [[Sentinels]] only came after them in pairs, and there was always a third [[Sentinel]] that acted as an observer, recording the battles and reporting back to the others. This tactic made the [[Sentinels]] smarter after each battle; the only way to turn the tables would be for the teams to take out all three of the [[Sentinels]], a strategy that they attempted and succeeded at.

After the team destroyed the trio of [[Sentinels]], they moved into [[Zone 67]]. Once there, they discovered the map room and the location of [[Team Katana]]. Olivia had picked up Katana squad's signal earlier. They had reported that they were being forced into [[Zone 67]]; their signal was lost shortly thereafter.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghost of Onyx]]''', pages 131-132</ref> First, [[Dr. Halsey]] proposed that they go to the [[Sentinel]] factory to prevent the production of additional [[Sentinels]]. Then, they moved to find Team Katana.

In looking in the map room and examining the [[Forerunner]] text, [[Dr. Halsey]] figured out how to utilize the Forerunners' Slipspace Translocation System, similar to the one [[Cortana (AI)|Cortana]] used on [[Installation 04]]. Just before the team was about to jump to Team Katana, AI [[Endless Summer]] contacts [[Dr. Halsey]] and Kurt-051, telling them they need to destroy the [[Sentinel Production Facility]] in order to save [[Battlegroup Stalingrad]]. [[Halsey]] gets the teleportation grid working, and they all teleport to the [[Sentinel Production Facility]] near the northern pole in [[Onyx]]. [[Halsey]] sends them to destroy three key structures, which would bring the entire production to a halt. Using the teleportation grid, they go to the three structures and trick [[Sentinels]] into firing on them in a line with the structures. Having destroyed the structures, they teleport back.
