On [[2525#September|September 14, 2525]], shortly after the Spartans had recovered from augmentations, Fred was selected by John-117 to join [[Blue Team]]—also composed of [[Samuel-034]], [[Linda-058]], and [[Kelly-087]]. The team was then chosen for the Spartan-IIs' first mission, [[Operation: TALON]]. The [[operation]]'s objective was to capture [[Colonel]] [[Robert Watts]], a UNSC Marine turncoat officer and the leader of the [[United Rebel Front]]. ONI had recently discovered that Watts was residing within [[Eridanus Secundus]], a large [[asteroid]] settlement and [[insurrectionist]] [[military base]] in the [[Eridanus system]]'s largest asteroid belt.<ref name="for98">'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 98-99'' (2010)</ref><ref name="watts">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/colonel-watts '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Colonel Watts'']</ref> | On [[2525#September|September 14, 2525]], shortly after the Spartans had recovered from augmentations, Fred was selected by John-117 to join [[Blue Team]]—also composed of [[Samuel-034]], [[Linda-058]], and [[Kelly-087]].

Equipped with [[black body suit]]s and [[MA2B assault rifle]]s, Fred and the rest of Blue Team were brought to the [[Eridanus II]] space docks by the {{Class|Halberd|destroyer}} {{UNSCShip|Pioneer}}. Once at the docks, the Spartans then infiltrated the URF-operated {{Class|Parabola|freighter}} ''[[Laden]]'' en route for Eridanus Secundus. While aboard the [[freighter]], the Spartans learned that a crate of luxury goods was headed for Watts' location. The crate was tagged with a [[NAV marker transmitter]], allowing the Spartans to track the crate to Watts' position once they reached the asteroid. When ''Laden'' arrived at one of the docking bays of Eridanus Secundus, Blue Team fought their way through Eridanus Secundus and URF soldiers until they reached Watts' apartment, located using the NAV marker they had placed on the crate. After killing several of Watts' security guards, Fred and the rest of Blue Team secured Watts inside a crate and returned to one of Eridanus Secundus' docking bays.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 112'' (2010)</ref> With Sam detonating several [[C-12 shaped charge|C-12 explosives]] on the asteroid's main [[hangar bay]] doors, the Spartans escaped the rebel facility in a stolen [[D77-TC Pelican]] [[dropship]] with Watts, as the doors blew open and the hangar bay decompressed.<ref name="for115">'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 115'' (2010)</ref> With the mission complete, Blue Team had effectively severed the head of the United Rebel Front, at least for the time being.{{Ref/Reuse|watts}} | Equipped with [[black body suit]]s and [[MA2B assault rifle]]s, Fred and the rest of Blue Team were brought to the [[Eridanus II]] space docks by the {{Class|Halberd|light destroyer}} {{UNSCShip|Pioneer}}.
