'''Ferrets''' are covert [[special operations]] operatives under the authority of the [[UNSC Navy]]'s [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]. Organized into small teams, Ferrets are tasked with investigating situations or criminal activities that prove threatening to the [[Unified Earth Government]] and its [[United Nations Space Command]], as well as resolving those situations by eliminating—or rescuing—certain individuals. One such team includes [[SPARTAN-III program|Spartan-IIIs]] [[Ash-G099]], [[Olivia-G291]], and [[Mark-G313]] led by ONI operative [[Veta Lopis]], a former [[special inspector]] for the [[Gao Ministry of Protection]].<ref name="ll388">'''Halo: Last Light''', ''pages 388-390''</ref> | '''Ferrets''' are covert [[special operations]] operatives under the authority of the [[UNSC Navy]]'s [[Office of Naval Intelligence]].

At some point around [[2557]], the Ferrets are able to go undercover as acolytes in the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]]. They gain the trust of [[Castor]] who believes them to be a gift from the [[Intrepid Eye|Oracle]] and appears not to recognize the Ferrets from their previous encounters. As part of their disguise, the Ferrets shave the sides of their heads and have narrow falls of hair hanging between their shoulder blades.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Chapter 17|HSoR|Chapter=17}} | |||

During [[Operation: WOLFE]], the Ferrets | During [[Operation: WOLFE]], the Ferrets aid the Keepers and the [[Banished]] in their search for the [[Menachite portal complex]].<ref>''[[Halo: Shadows of Reach]]''</ref> Near the end of the mission, [[Veta Lopis]] unexpectedly appears to help [[Blue Team]], surprising [[Fred-104]] as the Ferrets have been [[Missing in action]] for more than two years and presumed dead. Lopis hands Fred a message capsule before departing again. After the Keepers locate the portal controls, one of the Ferrets [[Reclaimer|activates]] it, opening a portal to [[Installation 00|the Ark]] that Atriox arrives through in a [[Banished Lich]]. When [[Blademaster]] [[Inslaan 'Gadogai]] threatens Castor, the Ferrets train their weapons on him and help Castor force him to stand down. The Keepers, joined by 'Gadogai, then board the Lich and pass through the portal to the Ark.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Chapter 21|HSoR|Chapter=21}} | ||
Upon returning to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, Fred gives Lopis' message to Captain [[Veronica Dare]] and reports that the Ferrets are following the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] through the slipspace portal over Reach to the Ark to initiate the [[Great Journey]] and Atriox's return is expected. Dare admits that its incredible that the Ferrets are still out there and Fred questions if she really didn't know. Dare states that even when ONI was whole, she wasn't read into every operation and Ferret operations were highly compartmentalized. Dare promises to pass along anything that she hears about the team and allows Fred to keep the top third of the message which is implied to be personal in nature.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Epilogue|HSoR|Chapter=Epilogue}} | |||
