{{Quote|As acting CO of Team Blue, I am hereby granting you a field commission to the rank of Lieutenant, Junior Grade. Congratulations. As an officer, you'll have to keep your eye on the larger picture, Fred. Get your team through that slipspace field.

While en route to Onyx, ''Bloodied Spirit'' was brought out of slipspace by the Covenant, where the destroyer was forced into a conflict between Sangheili [[ORS-class heavy cruiser|heavy cruiser]] ''[[Incorruptible]]'' and three Jiralhanae [[Covenant frigate|frigates]] as the [[Great Schism]] emerged within the Covenant. While ''Bloodied Spirit'' was able to escape the conflict, the Covenant learned that the destroyer was under Spartan control. However, [[Shipmaster]] [[Voro 'Mantakree]] of ''Incorruptible'' had intercepted Halsey's message and learned of the Forerunner cache on Onyx. 'Mantakree later met with a [[Joyous Exultation alliance|coalition of allied Sangheili]], where [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]] charged 'Mantakree with leading a fleet to recover the Onyx technology.<ref name="goo218"/> Upon arriving at Onyx, ''Bloodied Spirit'' was [[Battle of Onyx|engaged]] by [[Onyx Sentinel]]s in orbit. As the ship crashed on the surface, Blue Team escaped in a Spirit dropship.

===Post-Covenant War operations===

{{Quote|Dante and Holly gave their lives fighting. Kurt stayed behind and made sure the Covenant wouldn't follow us. Now it's our duty to complete the mission: find Forerunner technologies and get them back to Earth. Doing anything less would dishonor their sacrifices.|Fred-104 to Catherine Halsey, following the Battle of Onyx<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 382''</ref>}}

Having passed through the slipspace rift, Fred and the rest of the human survivors found themselves inside a [[Trevelyan|massive Dyson sphere]] contained within a slipspace bubble of compressed space-time in the heart of what used to be Onyx. After the Spartans, Halsey, and Mendez held a funeral for their comrades that had died in the battle at Onyx, Fred led them to search for Forerunner technologies and a way to return back to Earth.<ref name="goo278">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 378-383''</ref> After the survivors had explored the sphere for several days—over three months in normal space-time—they discovered a group of [[Huragok]] which helped them establish contact with the ONI ships outside the sphere and eventually bring the sphere back into normal space.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 382-389''</ref> They were then recovered by the ONI team [[Kilo-Five]] led by [[Captain]] [[Serin Osman]] and taken to a debriefing in [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]] aboard [[prowler]] {{UNSCShip|Port Stanley}}.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 401''</ref> Fred, along with the rest of the surviving Spartan-IIs, were present in the [[Voi Memorial]] ceremony at [[Kenya]], Earth on [[2553|March 3, 2553]].<ref name="gl414">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 414''</ref>
