Battle
Early activations
- Main article: Battle of Meridian (2558)
The earliest of the emergences were on Ursa IV and Oban by October 17, 2558, though they were reported as attacks.[1] Over a 72 hour period, Conrad's Point, Adelaide, and Queen Anne VI would have activations. Cities and surrounding landscapes would be utterly destroyed by them.[3]
Either during the concurrent the Battle of Kamchatka or after it, a Guardian would activate at Kamchatka itself.[4]
On October 25, 2558 a Guardian buried on Meridian began to activate with Promethean forces fanning out and attacking colonists.[5] Although there was a small reprieve in the fighting, [6] the Guardian would finally start its rise with even another wave of Prometheans attacking the colonists.[7]
Chaos and Guardian influx
- "If this news spreads, you’re condemning a dozen more worlds to chaos. Whatever these anomalies are, how will the UNSC face such a massive threat if all of its systems are paralyzed with infighting and fear?"
- — Black Box to Maya Sankar.[8]
- Main articles: Skirmish on Conrad's Point, Skirmish on Laika III
Rumors were circulating around the colonies, though ONI was attempting to counter them. The first four sites were secured, but in a move against the UNSC, the NCA took control of the fifth at Conrad's Point. Agent Maya Sankar, known as the insurrection leader "FERO", was brought to Midnight Facility where she was briefed on the situation.[9]
On October 27, 2558, She was promptly sent to Conrad's Point. There Ilsa Zane, a top member of the NCA was with a group of supporters. An ONI contact thought lost met with Maya and gave her some data on the activation of the Guardian. Maya also met an acquaintance, Bostwick she knew in her time as FERO.[10]
on Conrad's Point, Ilsa announced John's death to her group. After some time, the UNSC used an airstrike to blow up the gathering. Maya and Bostwick managed to escape from the NCA.[10]
Some time after escaping, Maya, and Bostwick now with Mshak Moradi crash landed on Laika III. Maya wound up in the hands of the Triads who believed the Guardians were part of their religion.[11] As she was there, the Guardian on Laika III activated causing massive gravitic distortions. Bostwick came to rescue Maya and they along with Mshak headed to the city of New Hedmark where Ilsa and NCA forces began engaging the UNSC. Mshak fled to orbit, but Maya and Bostwick began transmitting the data on the Guardians they got on Conrad's Point. After it was done, in an attempt to create a martyr, Bostwick killed Maya.[8]
At some point prior to October 28, 2558 a Guardian activated on Samuron pulling a D79-TC Pelican to Genesis.[12]
Aftermath
After some time, the arrivals of Guardians on Genesis slowed somewhat as various disparate forces battled one another and the Created on the world.
