However, four hours before the Kryllstorm was estimated to hit, the Locust emerged from under the city, and began attacking the humans still present at the scene. In response, the Coalition ordered a citywide evacuation, and began sending Gears to help assist with the operation. In 9 A.E., a Kryllstorm was en route to Ilima. Michael Barrick reflecting on the proximity of the Kryllstorm, late in the evacuation Zeta-Six looking up at the sky as the Kryllstorm started to form under the safety of the ink that's covering the sun. It is also possible that the Kryll soon began to hunt people at dark, though oddly enough they didn't appear during the battle at the Plaza for the Tyran Dead. This may be because of the fires surrounding the city and the Lightmass Missile might have also scared them off.
The Kryll were mentioned by COG Soldiers during the Destruction of Halvo Bay, because of this it can be assumed that the Kryll appeared at some point during E-Day or even before the Locust appeared, though this cannot be verified yet. History Locust War Destruction of Halvo Bay
