After Fireteam Osiris returned to ''Infinity'', Lasky ordered for the fireteam—along with Commander [[Sarah Palmer]] and Halsey—to travel to the Sangheili homeworld of [[Sanghelios]] to utilize the planet's inactivate Guardian to pursue Blue Team. Vale and the rest of Osiris were taken to the planet's surface via a {{Pattern|Kmiro'sish|Lich}}, where they were tasked with finding Arbiter Thel 'Vadam while he was leading the Swords of Sanghelios against the [[Sanghelios global war|invading]] remnants of 'Mdama's Covenant at the [[Elder Council Chamber]] in [[Nuusra]]. As Osiris engaged Covenant forces, Palmer had [[Mahkee 'Chava]] deploy two [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Mantis|Mantises]] for the Spartans to utilize in clearing out the Covenant warriors at the Elder Council Chamber. Upon arriving at the chamber, Osiris battled the Covenant forces assaulting the building and fought their way inside, where they meet up with 'Vadam. With Osiris' help, the Swords of Sanghelios eliminated the Covenant forces at the Council Chamber. Moments later, 'Chava arrived in a Phantom and extracted the Arbiter and Spartans.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=H5SwordsofSanghelios}} Traveling to the Swords of Sanghelios' encampment at Nuusra, Osiris worked together with Halsey, Palmer, and 'Vadam to formulate a plan to utilize the Guardian. Osiris was tasked with locating a Forerunner [[Constructor]] at one of the Guardian's nearby support stations to allow Halsey to input commands into the construct to force it to activate the Guardian.{{Ref/Level|Id=H5Alliance|H5G|Alliance}} Palmer flew Fireteam Osiris to the support station, but was forced to drop them off just south of the facility due to the presence of a Covenant Kraken nearby. While the Spartans provided ground support, the Swords of Sanghelios assaulted the walker from the air. While the Arbiter's flight squadrons forced the Kraken into retreat, Osiris fought their way to an ancient Sangheili temple located near the support facility. After defeating several Prometheans at the temple, the Kraken arrived at the temple, threatening Osiris' mission. As the walker neared, the Spartans boarded the Kraken and destroyed its power generator from within. Osiris fled that doomed walker and traveled into the support facility via stolen {{Pattern|D'nomlhe|Banshee}}s. Once inside the station, Osiris retrieved a Constructor, but were attacked by Promethean forces. After battling their way back to an extraction point with the Constructor, a Phantom transported them back to the Swords of Sanghelios' encampment.{{Ref/Level|Id=H5EnemyLines|H5G|Enemy Lines}}

During the Created occupation of Sanghelios in [[2559]], Vale was stationed in a villa in the state of [[Vadam]] to serve as a liaison between Arbiter Thel 'Vadam and his human allies. While there, she would speak with the Arbiter nearly every day. In late 2559, the [[Xenoarchaeology|xenoarchaeologist]] [[Keely Iyuska]],{{Ref/Novel|Id=Out2|Out|Chapter=2}} who was friends with Vale,{{Ref/Novel|Id=Out5|Out|Chapter=5}} visited her in Vadam to deliver important information and request her assistance. While investigating protogenic civilizations using the [[UNSC]]'s [[Military Survey of Uninhabited Planets]], she came across a record of a Guardian being sent to [[Netherop]] to subdue a [[List of unidentified species#Netherop|civilization]] there. However, this civilization managed to defeat the construct, implying that the secret to overcoming Cortana's Guardians may be hidden on Netherop.{{Ref/Reuse|Out2}} Vale spent a day reviewing everything regarding the planet that she could dig up, ultimately coming to the conclusion that they needed to visit Netherop.{{Ref/Reuse|Out5}}

After receiving approval for the mission from her superiors, Vale went with Keely to [[Outer Colonies|Outer Colony]] of [[Gao]] to recruit [[Roselle|Rosa Fuertes]] as a consultant. Rosa was a member of the [[Castoffs]]—a group of children and young adults rescued from Netherop by Blue Team over three decades prior—and would be an invaluable resource on the expedition. Vale and Keely hired a [[pipistrelle]] piloted by [[Arturo Ramus]] to take them to Rosa's home in [[Paraiso]], a village deep in the jungle. Under the guise of medical researchers studying a newly-encountered [[Wikipedia:Prion|prion disease]], both Vale and Keely wore medical scrubs rather than armor. The armed men protecting the village suspected that the two women were agents of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] and resisted letting them see Rosa. However, with some monetary incentive and a show of force from Vale, the two spoke with Rosa Fuertes, who agreed to come with them to Netherop, despite being afflicted the prion disease.{{Ref/Reuse|Out5}}
