Blue Team and Osiris

After seeing a vision from his thought-to-be-deceased AI companion Cortana, Spartan-II John-117 headed to the planet Meridian with the rest of Blue Team to find her. Declared AWOL by the UNSC, Spartan-IV Fireteam Osiris led by Jameson Locke was sent to retrieve them. Osiris tracked Blue Team into an underground Forerunner structure and caught up with them but they managed to escape into a nearby Guardian. Osiris retreated as the Guardian entered slipspace over the planet.
