Upon their return to ''Infinity'', Fireteam Osiris learned that [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-IIs]] [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]], [[Linda-058]], and [[Fred-104]] of [[Blue Team]] traveled to the [[Outer Colony]] of [[Meridian]]—absent without leave—to investigate [[smart AI]] [[Cortana]]'s location. Osiris was tasked with embarking to the recently resettled and now independent Meridian to track down Blue Team and take them back to the UNSC.<ref name="glassed"/> To prepare for the mission, Locke tasked [[Unidentified AI|an AI]] to identify weaknesses in Spartan-IIs and the [[MJOLNIR Mark VI]] and acquired [[Armor restraint|armor-locking device]] in order to short circuit their armor's systems.<ref>'''[[Hunt the Truth]]''', ''[[Hunt the Signal]]''</ref> Fireteam Osiris arrived at [[Pinnacle Station]]—the Meridian [[space elevator]]—via Pelican, where they descended to the [[moon]]'s surface. Osiris quickly discovered that the world was also under attack from Promethean constructs and Meridian's settlers were desperately attempting to fend off the invaders. In exchange for colony leader [[Governor Sloan]]'s cooperation, Osiris agreed to help defend Meridian from the Prometheans. After destroying the Prometheans that were assaulting the outpost at the space elevator's base, the Spartans began travelling to [[Meridian Station]], the lead settlement on the moon which the Prometheans were attempting to invade. However, Sloan was reluctant to give Osiris access to the road leading to the settlement, fearing that the Prometheans would follow. However, Osiris eliminated the surrounding Prometheans and Sloan allowed the Spartans to have access to the road. At Sloan's request, Osiris aided several settlers under attack at a nearby service garage and Sloan ordered his men to give the Spartans one of the [[Liang Dortmund Corporation]]'s [[M820 Scorpion]]s to use against the Prometheans in exchange for their help.<ref name="glassed"/>

After using the Scorpion to clear out the rest of the nearby Prometheans, Vale and the rest of Osiris proceeded to Meridian Station, where they discovered that Sloan was a smart AI suffering from onset [[rampancy]]. Sloan allowed the Spartans to search the settlement for clues about Blue Team's location, leading to Locke having Osiris split up to see if they could learn anything from the local settlers. After learning that Blue Team's [[Winter-class prowler|prowler]] was seen traveling to the nearby [[Apogee Station]], Fireteam Osiris boarded a transport Pelican and departed for the settlement.<ref name="meridian station">'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level ''[[Meridian Station (level)|Meridian Station]]''</ref> Upon arriving at Apogee, they found the settlement under attack. Working with Meridian soldiers, Locke and the rest of the Spartans cleared out the Prometheans and discovered Blue Team's [[ONI Acrisius|abandoned prowler]]. Accessing the prowler's data banks, Osiris discovered that Blue Team had traveled to the mines under the settlement. After eliminating more Prometheans throughout the mines, Osiris discovered that the Meridian settlers had found a massive Forerunner structure underneath the moon's surface. As they investigated the structure, they eventually came across the [[Warden Eternal]], an [[ancilla]] that served as the protector of the Forerunner [[Domain]] and claimed his loyalty belonged to Cortana. After refusing to allow the Spartans to pursue Blue Team, Fireteam Osiris engaged the Warden and eventually destroyed him. Advancing forward, Osiris came across a [[Guardian]] in a large, cavernous chamber. While exploring the area, Vale discovered a local [[slipspace translocation]] [[Teleportation grid|network]] throughout the cavern and noticed Blue Team using it on above platforms. Following Vale, Locke and the rest of Osiris pursued Blue Team as they advanced from platform to platform utilizing the translocation network. During the chase, Locke got ahead of the rest of his fireteam and was teleported to the same platform that Blue Team was on.<ref name="unconfirmed">'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level ''[[Unconfirmed]]''</ref>

As the Spartan-IIs prepared to travel through one last [[teleporter]] to reach the Guardian, Locke ordered them to stand down. The rest of Osiris was teleported to a higher platform, as John-117 ordered his own teammates to go through the portal ahead of him. When John refused to stand down and moved to follow his team, Locke attempted to detain him, leading to a hand-to-hand combat fight between the two while the rest of Osiris watched nearby. John eventually gained the upper hand and used Locke's own armor restraint against him. As John escaped through the portal and entered the Guardian, the massive construct began to activate and the floating platforms around Osiris began falling out of place and into the lava below. Freeing Locke, the four Spartans rushed back the way Blue Team came by traveling back to each platform via teleporter. Fireteam Osiris was just able to enter the last teleporter as its platform plummeted towards the lava, with Locke assisting Buck through the portal when the latter had nearly fallen off the platform.<ref name="unconfirmed"/> The Spartans were teleported back to Meridian's surface, where they discovered that the colony was already well into its evacuation as settlers rushed into the moon's space elevator. As Osiris raced to the elevator to escape the ensuring damages that would be caused by the Guardian's activation, the construct rose out of the surface nearby. After fighting their way to the base of the elevator, Sloan allowed Osiris to enter. Sloan then revealed that he was warned of the Guardian's activation by Cortana, and that he intended to be a part of the future Cortana was creating for humans and AIs. Osiris destroyed the remaining Prometheans nearby and, after activating it, the fireteam began ascending the space tether. On the way to the elevator terminal, while engaging more Prometheans, the Guardian sent out a shockwave that heavy damaged the elevator. The Spartans were forced to climb the elevator as the structure slowly began to fall. Just as Osiris arrived at the platform their Pelican was on, the Guardian continued to send out more frequent shockwaves that slowed the Spartans down and caused the platform they were on to collapse. Osiris barely managed to enter the dropship, with Locke having to use his armor thrusters to board the Pelican as it fell from the platform. Once Locke was aboard, the Spartans left Meridian's atmosphere as the Guardian entered slipspace and left the moon.<ref name="evacuation">'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level ''[[Evacuation]]''</ref>
