Leading up to [[2526#March|March 5, 2526]], Fred and Blue Team, along with [[Gold Team]] and [[Green Team]], were stationed on the [[Razor-class prowler]] {{UNSCShip|Starry Night}} over [[Netherop]] as part of an operation with the goal of capturing a Covenant vessel for ONI's [[Beta-3 Division]] to examine.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS1|HSS|Chapter=1}} Using a flight of patrolling | Leading up to [[2526#March|March 5, 2526]], Fred and Blue Team, along with [[Gold Team]] and [[Green Team]], were stationed on the [[Razor-class prowler]] {{UNSCShip|Starry Night}} over [[Netherop]] as part of an operation with the goal of capturing a Covenant vessel for ONI's [[Beta-3 Division]] to examine.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS1|HSS|Chapter=1}} Using a flight of patrolling {{Pattern|Elsedda|Banshee}}s as cover, the three teams went [[EVA]] and [[Skirmish over Netherop|boarded]] the [[Covenant frigate|frigate]] [[Radiant Arrow]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS2|HSS|Chapter=2}} Once within the vessel's hangar, the Spartans eliminated the crew with cold efficiency and prepared to move deeper into the vessel. Blue Team spearheaded the assault, clearing rooms along the ship's main corridor. Midway through their sweep, a sensor operator aboard one of the prowlers "accidentally" broadcast a transmission on the Spartans' [[COM|SQUADCOM]], revealing their presence to the rest of the Covenant aboard the frigate. In reality, this apparent mistake was actually part of an [[insurrectionist]] plot orchestrated by [[Hector Nyeto]]. With their cover blown, Blue Team rushed deeper into the ship with the intent to find and capture the bridge. The fight soon took the four Spartans into a [[gravity lift]] tube where they were set upon by [[Sangheili]] warriors wielding [[Type-51 carbine|carbines]] and [[Type-1 plasma grenade|plasma grenades]]. Intending to keep the Spartans from reaching the bridge, the Covenant crew reversed the direction of the lift, pulling Fred, Kelly, and Linda rapidly downward while John managed to grab a maintenance ladder. At the bottom of the tube, Fred, Kelly, and Linda laid in a pile, their armors locked up to protect them from the fall. However, the combined mass of Fred and Linda had landed on top of Kelly, and she received a compound rib facture as a result. John ordered Fred to extract Kelly from the tube and for the three of them to rendezvous with Green Team while he secured the bridge. When John found that the vessel's shipmaster had prepared the ''Radiant Arrow'' to self-destruct, he ordered Fred and the rest of the Spartans off the vessel. They all made it clear just before it detonated.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS3|HSS|Chapter=3}} | ||

After the loss of contact with Office of Naval Intelligence's research and development station ''[[Argent Moon]]'', Fred and the rest of Blue Team were deployed by {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} to [[Raid on Argent Moon|recover]] the facility on [[2558#October|October 23, 2558]]; the station had been rediscovered when a group of Kig-Yar scavengers sold it to [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]]. Using a [[D79-TC Pelican]] to travel to the station's position within a dense asteroid belt, the four Spartans left the dropship and used their thrusters to reach ''Argent Moon''. As they neared, Fred and Blue Team fired their weapons to weaken a glass window in the station before smashing through it themselves, ejecting the Covenant forces inside the room into space while the Spartans activated their magnetic boots to stay in place.{{Ref/Reuse|h5 blue team}} | After the loss of contact with Office of Naval Intelligence's research and development station ''[[Argent Moon]]'', Fred and the rest of Blue Team were deployed by {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} to [[Raid on Argent Moon|recover]] the facility on [[2558#October|October 23, 2558]]; the station had been rediscovered when a group of Kig-Yar scavengers sold it to [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]].

The Spartans fought their way through the station, clearing it of Covenant occupants. During the engagement, John received an apparent vision from the thought-to-be-dead Cortana, simply warning him that "[[Meridian]] was next". John informed his teammates of this, though Fred asserted that it was impossible, since John himself confirmed her death over Earth the previous year. Setting the vision aside, Fred and Blue Team attempted to continue their salvage mission until a large Covenant fleet arrived in the system, bringing word of 'Mdama's [[Battle of Kamchatka|death]] on [[Kamchatka]].

Mission accomplished, John reassigned himself to Meridian to investigate Cortana's message, against the orders of ''Infinity'', after learning the UNSC was already planning to do the same. He attempted to convince Blue Team that they did not need to follow him, but all three members declared their solidarity with him and joined him aboard the [[Winter-class prowler|prowler]] [[ONI Acrisius|ONI ''Acrisius'']], which they used to escape the [[self-destruct]]ing ''Argent Moon'', avoid the Covenant fleet, and depart for Meridian in the [[Hestia system]].{{Ref/Reuse|h5 blue team}} | ||
