Parangosky personally came along with the [[Pelican]] that delivered both Huragok to ''Port Stanley''.<ref name="TTW11"/> Serin was greeted by the admiral with a new bag of ginger.

Osman maintained communication with the rest of Kilo-Five as the struggled to return.<ref name="TTW12"/> A fire broke out on ''Tart-Cart'' after it cleared the planet's atmosphere which cost it its propulsion. ''Infinity'' offered to send one of its {{Class|Strident|heavy frigate}} to to assist them. Mal checked to make sure this was okay with Osman, who conceded that they really couldn't refuse the offer.<ref name="TTW11"/> As the ''Infinity'' began to turn the tide of battle in the Arbiter's favor, extracting 'Telcam became a chief priority. Osman got a hold of him and demanded that he try to get off-world, but the former field master refused to listen. Once ''Tart-Cart'' was adequately repaired ''and'' significantly improved by Huragok on the ''Infinity'' in a very short amount of time, Kilo-Five was directed to return to the surface, this time with the goal of extracting 'Telcam. Osman made sure her people knew that he was going to be resistant and gave them permission to kill him if they could not capture him. The Huragok had outfitted the dropship with a [[SFTE]], so it could flee the system as soon as the prisoner was secured. Osman, for her part, would assist the evacuation of four of the Servants' frigates. They would all regroup on [[New Llanelli]].<ref name="TTW12">''[[Halo: The Thursday War]]'', ''chapter 12''</ref> The captain confirmed with BB that ''Infinity'' would be unable to track them once they engaged the Arbiter's ships, which were being fed intelligence about the Servants' frigates by Hood.<ref name="TTW13"/> The Arbiter had five [[Covenant cruiser|cruiser]]s standing by to open fire on the fleeing frigates but they evidently had orders not to fire until they had cleared the planet's gravity well and were just about to jump. Once Kilo-Five had 'Telcam in their possession and were flying through slipspace toward the Brunel system, Osman was able to contact them thanks to the Huragok's upgrades. She had Mal give her 'Telcam and was able to convince him he needed to tell his ships to accept a message from a Kig-Yar shipmistress, whom she would pretend to be. Osman ensured that BB would cut him off if he deviated in any way from those instructions. The ruse worked and in the role of a shipmistress named "Lahz", Osman advised the frigates to jump as soon as possible. ''Port Stanley'' opened fire with its [[Rudra-class nuclear missile|Rudra]] and [[Shiva-class nuclear missile]]s, destroying in sequence the cruisers ''[[Devotion]]'', ''[[Far Vision]]'', and ''[[Axiom]]''. She was imploring [[Galur|the shipmaster]] of the ''[[Cleansing Truth]]'' to initiate a jump sequence when it was struck and destroyed by the ''[[Swordsman]]'', having waited too long.<ref name="TTW13">''[[Halo: The Thursday War]]'', ''chapter 13''</ref> | |||
