A little less than two months later, | A little less than two months later, on July 6, 2553, Rear Admiral Osman was briefly present on [[Gao]], accompanying [[Blue Team]] in the [[Owl]] ''[[Silent Claw]]'' as they exfiltrated from the planet after [[Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE]]. On the way off the planet, she announced the reassignment of Blue Team's three [[Gamma Company]] [[Spartan-III]]s and recruited [[Special Inspector]] [[Veta Lopis]] into ONI.<ref>'''[[Halo: Last Light]]''', Chapter 28</ref> Osman subsequently oversaw the [[Ferret]] program and more specifically the team comprising Veta Lopis, [[Ash-G099]], [[Olivia-G291]] and [[Mark-G313]]. On October 24, 2553, Osman supervised a training exercise between Lopis' Ferret Team and [[Oscar Squad]] in [[Neos Atlantis]]' [[UNSC Recreational Facility 6055-NA-A]]. The exercise turned into a crisis when Lopis' team was targeted by [[Dark Moon Enterprises]] and reporter [[Spencer Hume]] was killed, although the Ferret Team was able to resolve the situation to Osman's satisfaction.<ref>'''Halo: Fractures''', "A Necessary Truth"</ref> | ||

By [[2555|March 2555]], Osman had risen to the rank of [[Admiral]] and had taken Parangosky's place as head of the Office of Naval Intelligence. After it was discovered that the active installations of the [[Halo Array]] were counting down to fire in several weeks, Osman convened in Bravo-6 with several high-ranking UNSC members and scientists concerning the crisis. It was proposed that a joint UNSC-Sangheili task force be sent to [[Installation 00]], the most likely source of the countdown, in order to prevent galactic extinction. Osman vehemently spoke against involving the Sangheili in the operation, but was overruled by Terrence Hood.<ref>'''[[Halo: Hunters in the Dark]]''', ''Chapter 2''</ref> Afterwards, Osman awarded Captain [[Annabelle Richards]] with the [[Medal of Honor]], after she declined a promotion, for her success at leading the task force at the Ark.<ref name="hitd300">'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''page 300'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | By [[2555|March 2555]], Osman had risen to the rank of [[Admiral]] and had taken Parangosky's place as head of the Office of Naval Intelligence.
