{{Quote|Catherine Elizabeth Halsey, I have orders to detain you and take you to the nearest secure ONI facility on charges of committing acts likely to aid the enemy. You are now under military jurisdiction and do ''not'' have the right to an attorney. The maximum allowable period of detention before being formally charged or released does ''not'' apply. Come with me, please.|Serin dispassionately recites the appropriate litany before Halsey is arrested.}}<ref name="G15"/>
[[File:HM-Crew of Onyx.jpg|175px|thumb|left|There had been some worry that the Spartans of [[Blue Team]] might defend Halsey, but they only watched as she was led away in handcuffs.<ref name="G15"/>]]
Once the team found itself near to where [[Onyx]] had used to orbit Zeta Doradus, it was only a matter of waiting while [[Requires Adjustment]] communicated with other [[Huragok]] inside the [[shield world]] in order to bring it out of [[slipspace]].<ref name="G15"/> The captain joined the ODSTs and Naomi at a viewscreen while they watched for the reemergence of the impossibly-large object. She queried [[BB]] about docking procedure, to which he commented that an entrance should form within the shell of the sphere at wherever they approach it. When Devereaux asked about their plans for any valuable technology inside, Osman said that [[Parangosky]] had promised a briefing in which she would provide direction regarding it. She did agree, however, that at the very least they ought to secure another Huragok to be a companion and to [[Adj]] and so that he could be maintained. As soon as the [[astroengineering|enormous superstructure]] sprang back into visible reality, Serin donned a vacuum-rated helmet and made for their dropship along with the others. During the flight to the shield world, Dev mentioned Venezia and Osman confirmed she hadn't forgotten what it had done and still planned to screw it in return somehow. She went over the plan for arresting Halsey, saying that Parangosky wanted her in one piece and able to answer questions, but that they were all authorized to use whatever force necessary should she resist in any way. As the fateful meeting approached, Osman openly wondered whether the doctor would recognize her.<ref name="G15">''[[Halo: Glasslands]]'', ''chapter 15''</ref>

She didn't have to wait long for the answer to her question, as Catherine recognized Serin immediately, despite not having seen her since she was a teenager.<ref name="G15"/> Mendez also picked up on who she was and extended a friendly greeting, which she reciprocated. Fred, Kelly, and Linda were only slightly behind the other two in placing her face. Serin admitted it had been difficult purposefully leaving them in the dark about her situation for years. Leaving no time for any further pleasantries, she then calmly read Halsey the charges against her and explained she was to be detained without any of the civil liberties that would be due to subjects of civilian arrests. Vaz slipped a pair of microfilament cuffs on her and the two ODSTs marched her off. Osman only jogged to catch up with the trio within a passage a short time later and explained that they would be back for Mendez and the Spartans after she was secured aboard their ship. Halsey guessed that they'd be delivering her to Bravo-6, but Osman let her know that Parangosky would actually be leaving the planet's gravity well to come to her. The doctor asked why the admiral was coming down hard on her now, finally. All Serin could say in return was that she had been living on borrowed time for years and should have known her violations of the law and human decency would catch up to her eventually.<ref name="G15"/>


===Kilo-Five===
===Kilo-Five===
After the [[Trevelyan|shield world]] formerly housed within the artificial planet [[Onyx]] was brought back into normal space, Osman was part of the party that entered the [[Dyson sphere]] aboard Kilo-Five's [[Pelican]], ''[[Tart-Cart]]''. They met with [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]], [[Franklin Mendez|CPO Franklin Mendez]], and the Spartan-IIs and [[Spartan-III]]s of [[Blue Team]]. Osman personally took Dr. Halsey into custody for "committing acts likely to aid the enemy": during the [[Battle of Earth]], Halsey had diverted a [[UNSC Navy]] [[Patterson's battle group|battle group]] to Onyx under false pretenses, weakening the homeworld's defenses.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 385''</ref> ''Port Stanley'' subsequently took the survivors to Earth for a debriefing at [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 394''</ref>

In [[2553#March|March 2553]], after participating in the [[Voi Memorial]] ceremony, Kilo-Five was tasked with investigating Venezia and its reemerging rebel movement. With ''Port Stanley'' holding station near Venezia, Mal and Vaz were inserted to [[New Tyne]] while Evan Phillips, accompanied by a fragment of BB, left Kilo-Five to study Sangheili culture on [[Sanghelios]].
