Captain Osman gave her the latest, namely that violence had erupted in six major population centers. With ''Infinity'''s aid, it was likely that the tide would soon turn yet again for [[Swords of Sanghelios|the Arbiter's forces]], but Parangosky told Serin that it was, of course, important that Hood's rescue was not ''too'' successful. Osman was worried about her team still being on the surface when the UNSC entered the fight, but said she would take responsibility for getting them back as soon as possible. Parangosky asuaged her concern somewhat by letting her know that the first order of business as far as she was concerned was transferring the two Huragok, [[Requires Adjustment]] and [[Leaks Repaired]], to ''Port Stanley'', something Osman could expect in fifteen minutes' time.<ref name="TTW10">''[[Halo: The Thursday War]]'', ''chapter 10''</ref> | When the ''Infinity'' did arrive at Sanghelios, Kilo-Five still had yet to return to ''Port Stanley'' with Phillips, as they had needed to land ''Tart-Cart'' to make necessary repairs.<ref name="TTW10"/> Admiral Parangosky hailed Osman as soon as the massive flagship emerged from slipspace.
