Before she took her leave, Margaret let Serin know once more that though she hadn't yet talked to Halsey in person, she would very soon.<ref name="G16"/> Osman dared to ask if she carried any guilt herself for the Spartan-II program, to which the admiral admitted she did. She said she didn't regret it, but she always knew it had been wrong. She even told Osman she planned to admit to her role in the program when she testified to the [[UEG]]'s [[Defense Committee]]. That would not happen, however, until she was convinced her subsequent resignation would not compromise security. After that, her role as [[CINCONI]] would fall to Serin. Parangosky notified her then that she would be promoted to [[UNSC rank structure|rear admiral]] in the April list. She congratulated her protégé on the work she'd done so far with Kilo-Five and finally departed. Osman saluted her as she went. Almost immediately as soon as she was on her own, Chief Mendez approached her. The chief let her know that none of [[Blue Team]]'s Spartan-IIs wished to access their classified files. The two parted amicably. Gathering her team, she directed everyone to their waiting transport. She asked Vaz if the memorial's focus on the Spartans had offended him as an [[ODST]], but he said he was just glad the praise was at least going to [[NCO]]s and not just senior command.<ref name="G16"/> | Before she took her leave, Margaret let Serin know once more that though she hadn't yet talked to Halsey in person, she would very soon.<ref name="G16"/> Osman dared to ask if she carried any guilt herself for the Spartan-II program, to which the admiral admitted she did.

The ''Port Stanley'' was waiting for them just beyond Earth's orbit, ready for a fast slip.<ref name="G16"/> | The ''Port Stanley'' was waiting for them just beyond Earth's orbit, ready for a fast slip.<ref name="G16"/> Just before arriving at [[Sanghelios]] again, Osman met Phillips and Devereaux at in the hangar to see the professor off.<ref name="G17"/> The plan was to extract him in one week's time. During his stay, Osman told him to simply be himself. He was there to observe and report back, but she worried that if he was too obvious in prying about certain things he could be in danger. Evan was fully aware that he could be terminated by BB at any point during his deployment and as much as it troubled her, Osman made sure to remind him to wear the radio that could deliver the toxin at all times. She gave Phillips an awkward pat on the back before taking her leave. As Dev flew him to the surface, the portion of Black-Box that remained aboard the ''Port Stanley'' approached Serin with something Parangosky had asked that he brief her on: the construction of the massive [[Infinity-class supercarrier|supercarrier]], {{UNSCship|Infinity}}. Parangosky had warned her in advance that the A.I. would be bringing her up to speed on something like this when the time was right. Upon viewing blueprints for the ship, she took a keen interest. BB informed her that its development had been ongoing for years in complete secret within the [[Sol system]]'s [[Oort cloud]] and that [[Andrew Del Rio]] had been selected to serve as its [[captain]]. The day Osman would be taking over for Parangosky was drawing close, and it was important that she be brought up to speed on certain things. BB gave her reassurance that he wouldn't allow the likes of [[Damien Hogarth|Hogarth]] to mess up her trajectory toward the [[CINCONI]] position. When he finished speaking with the captain she continued to pore over the ''Infinity'''s schematics.<ref name="G17">''[[Halo: Glasslands]]'', ''chapter 17''</ref> | ||

With Mal and Naomi pressing on the [[bridge]], Chol Von set the ship to explode and escaped with her remaining crew.

With ''Pious Inquisitor'' destroyed and the Venezian threat seemingly neutralized for the time being, Osman reported back to Parangosky and they discussed Osman's inheritance of the CINCONI's post and their future course of action with Dr. Halsey. Following this, Osman decided to read her own file, discovering that her origins were very unlike the idealized image of a happy family life she had previously imagined.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 465''</ref> She decided to visit her former teacher [[Alkmini Leandro]] in [[St. Malo]] on her birthworld of [[Cascade]] while the rest of the team were given a brief shore leave.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 478''</ref> | With ''Pious Inquisitor'' destroyed and the Venezian threat seemingly neutralized for the time being, Osman reported back to Parangosky and they discussed Osman's inheritance of the [[CINCONI]]'s post and their future course of action with Dr. Halsey.
