Talia was questioned by Ackerson upon her return to Reach, but she claimed to not recall any of the events that Master Chief reported. Ackerson believes John is mentally unstable, leading the frustrated Spartan to visit Talia's house to confront her about her failure to remember the events that transpired during their mission. Talia's mother intervenes, asking John to stay for dinner, and he accepts. He spends the evening with her family who become excited when they figure out John is a Spartan. Talia, meanwhile, gives John a message in morse code during prayer. When John and Talia finally speak in private, Talia reveals that she sensed something out there during their mission, leading to her guilt as all her men were killed, yet she survived without a clear explanation.

===The Fall of Reach===
The Master Chief and Talia fight to join up with Fleetcom. Where she was able to pilot a shuttle full of civilians off Reach.
=== SPARTAN-III Program ===
After the Fall of Reach, Perez ended up on Onyx where she joined the Spartan-III program created by James Ackerson. She underwent several battle simulations, including a scenario where she and Javelin Team conducted an EVA assault on a Covenant cruiser. The objective was to fight through Covenant forces and deploy a spike, a modular device that is literally stabbed into any computer console which would upload a virus to the ship's computer and render it inoperable. Each time Javelin Team was wiped out because they were not operating as a cohesive unit. Kai-125, who was responsible for training them, chastised Perez for her tactics that contributed to their failure. The final time they run the simulation Perez, frustrated with her COs decisions leading to too many casualties, takes charge and successfully leads Javelin Team to the bridge where they deploy the spike and complete the objective. However, Perez is troubled that the simulation seems to end with the spike's deployment and not the exfiltration of the ship. As the team made their way back off the ship they noted all of the Covenant forces seem to have disappeared.
Perez confronted Kai about the absence of opposing forces after the objective was complete, a situation that quietly bothered Kai, but she dismissed it and Perez. Later, once the location of Halo was determined and the Covenant's second fleet was detected arriving in system, Parangosky ordered the deployment of Ackerson's Spartan-III's despite his protests that they were designed and trained for surgical missions, not a brute force attack. Parangosky ignored Ackerman's protests and they watched as the first wave of Spartan-III's were completely annihilated before they could even exit their transports. Against even stronger protests from Ackerman, Parangosky deployed a second wave telling Ackerman she was willing to risk every Spartan to achieve the objective. Perez was part of the second wave, her team now accompanied by Kai as a platoon leader.
