Halsey and the others were eventually rescued from the shield world, but Halsey was immediately arrested as a [[war criminal]] by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Serin Osman]] under CINCONI [[Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]]'s orders, for "committing acts likely to aid the enemy" by stealing the ''Beatrice'', kidnapping Kelly-087 and telling Lord Hood to send more Spartans to Onyx—all with the sole intention of hiding in the shield world until the war was over. Even though Halsey had provided the UNSC with new Forerunner technology as promised, the circumstances conveniently allowed Parangosky to finally carry out her personal vendetta against Halsey. Consequently, in [[2553#March|March 2553]], Parangosky detained Halsey on the newly established [[Ivanoff Station]], in orbit around [[Installation 03]], and personally interrogated her, accusing Halsey of not informing her of the use of flash clones at the onset of the SPARTAN-II program. | Halsey and the others were eventually rescued from the shield world, but Halsey was immediately arrested as a [[war criminal]] by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Serin Osman]] under CINCONI [[Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]]'s orders, for "committing acts likely to aid the enemy" by stealing the ''Beatrice'', kidnapping Kelly-087 and telling Lord Hood to send more Spartans to Onyx—all with the sole intention of hiding in the shield world until the war was over.

As far as the public is concerned, Halsey was killed during the [[Fall of Reach]] until Parangosky,<ref name="glass341">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 341''</ref> (or her successor, Admiral Osman), decides otherwise. | ||
Following this she was treated as a war criminal and interrogated by many ONI personnel, as well as one mysterious individual who knew of the SPARTAN-II program but did not seem to be a Naval Intelligence operative.<ref name="Prologue">'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Prologue]]'' ('''Halsey''': ''"What are you after?

According to her, her actions were justified by the Covenant War, since without the Spartans' involvement it could have never been won. While the interrogator belittled the importance of the Spartan-IIs, going so far as to claim that they accomplished their victories because they lacked basic humanity, Halsey retained her confidence in their abilities, stating that her Spartans were "humanity's next step" and "our destiny as a species". To prove this, she predicted John-117, whom she firmly believed was alive, would return.<ref name="Prologue"/> | Following this she was treated as a war criminal and interrogated by many ONI personnel, as well as one mysterious individual who knew of the SPARTAN-II program but did not seem to be a Naval Intelligence operative.<ref name="Prologue">'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Prologue]]'' ('''Halsey''': ''"What are you after?
