Onyx is the sixth episode of the second season of Halo. It premiered on March 7, 2024 on Paramount+.
John seeks revenge on a secret ONI planet. Perez trains to become a new kind of soldier. Kai finds herself torn between her Spartan code and her loyalty to Master Chief. Makee turns to Cortana for help in her search for the Halo.
Perez jumps out of a ship with other Spartan's who training. They take fire from a Covenant ship and land on the bridge to complete phase one. Perez covers Mullins and Okada as they navigate the ship. Mullins is impaled by a Neelder needle. Perez is the last one left and prepares to spike. Perez lurches out of the training simulation. Kai tells them they're all dead - again. She tells them about the Covenant ships to point out its strengths and weaknesses. Perez laughs during Kai's speech because they cleared the enemy. The rounds came from nowhere. The simulation is random, just like war.
Perez follows Kai and Kai snaps at her as they are not equals. She has a problem with failure and soldiers who repeat mistakes. Perez's comrades were dead. She thinks it's personal because she was on Reach and Kai wasn't. Kai reminds her that being in one battle doesn't make her a veteran. Perez knows what she signed up for while looking at the poster of Master Chief.
Parangosky makes tea from Earth while looking at posters that advertise Master Chief's death. She explains to Ackerson the tea was engineered by the ONI because she told them too. She tells him the importance of stories, comparing the work going into tea to that of empires; one small mistake can undo all the work done. Ackerson assures her the narrative remains intact. She tells him a ship landed 15 kilometers from where they are now. An agent from Aleria spotted Catherine Halsey boarding the same ship, but Ackerson dismisses it because of the frequent sightings. Parangosky shares that Halsey was spotted 19 hours ago with "the largest man" her agent has ever seen. Ackerson insists it's not possible. They have to find out either way.
John looks through his binoculars at the ONI headquarters.
Kai runs simulations until Ackerson interrupts her. She can't keep coming back to the Reach simulation. She doesn't understand why they weren't at Reach. Her entire team is gone. Ackerson tells her she's not alone in her tragedy. She has little faith in the new recruits. Ackerson reminds Kai that Master Chief is gone but she's making the next generation in his image. She can't make them Spartans when they aren't. Her job is to make them believe that.
Laera and Soren confront Halsey over what she wants. Halsey knows where Kessler was taken.
