He plainly did not know, but she threatened that he may be on his own soon if he did not commit to finding him, and that the [[Blooding Years|fighting]] may not go well for him were he to lose their support.

Osman learned a short time later that 'Telcam had been contacted by [[Elar 'Nas|someone]] from [[Nes'alun keep]], where Evan was currently located.<ref name="TTW9"/> She opened a channel with Parangosky on the prowler's bridge to let her know right away. She also took the oppurtunity to pass along the latest intel regarding the [[Blooding Years|civil conflict]] on the planet and advised that she pass what she had along to Hood as well. The Arbiter's permission given to humans to enter the [[Temple of the Abiding Truth|temple]] in Ontom had fueled a groundswell of opposition and now [[Kolaar Mountain]] was surrounded on three sides by encroaching forces loyal to the [[Servants of the Abiding Truth]]. Parangosky agreed with Serin's conclusion that the time had come to bring the ''Infinity'''s might to bear before the Sangheili. She told the captain to keep her apprised of the developing situation and said she needed two hours at the most to set things in motion. Serin did openly question whether it was wise for the ship to carry both CINCONI and Fleet Admiral Hood into a combat zone together but her concerns were dismissed.<ref name="TTW9">''[[Halo: The Thursday War]]'', ''chapter 9''</ref> | |||
When the ''Infinity'' did arrive at Sanghelios, Kilo-Five still had yet to return to ''Port Stanley'' with Phillips, as they had needed to land ''Tart-Cart'' to make necessary repairs.<ref name="TTW10"/> Admiral Parangosky hailed Osman as soon as the massive flagship emerged from slipspace. Captain Osman gave her the latest, namely that violence had erupted in six major population centers. With ''Infinity'''s aid, it was likely that the tide would soon turn yet again for [[Swords of Sanghelios|the Arbiter's forces]], but Parangosky told Serin that it was, of course, important that Hood's rescue was not ''too'' successful. Osman was worried about her team still being on the surface when the UNSC entered the fight, but said she would take responsibility for getting them back as soon as possible. Parangosky asuaged her concern somewhat by letting her know that the first order of business as far as she was concerned was transferring the two Huragok, [[Requires Adjustment]] and [[Leaks Repaired]], to ''Port Stanley'', something Osman could expect in fifteen minutes' time.<ref name="TTW10">''[[Halo: The Thursday War]]'', ''chapter 10''</ref> | |||

Meanwhile, the Fleet's new flagship, {{UNSCship|Infinity}}, turned the tide over Sanghelios as it decimated the Abiding Truth's forces. As the battle began to turn against the Abiding Truth, Admiral Parangosky ordered Kilo-Five to extract 'Telcam as he was necessary to maintain the imposed stalemate between the two Sangheili factions. With Osman aboard ''Port Stanley'', Kilo-Five headed planetside aboard ''Tart-Cart'' and forced 'Telcam into the dropship. While Lord Hood and ''Infinity'' openly aided 'Vadam and defeated the attackers, with BB's help, ''Port Stanley'' posed as a Kig-Yar pirate ship. Disguised a Shipmistress named "Lahz", Osman and BB covertly destroyed some of 'Vadam's ships under Admiral Parangosky's orders, leaving the Arbiter with a Pyrrhic victory. After the battle, Osman rendezvoused with ''Tart-Cart'' and dropped 'Telcam off at New Llanelli for his safety.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 329''</ref> | Meanwhile, the Fleet's new flagship, {{UNSCship|Infinity}}, turned the tide over Sanghelios as it decimated the Abiding Truth's forces.
