Serin Osman: "Investigators with teeth. You slip into a hole, find the rats, and—"
Mark-G313: "And kill them?"
Serin Osman: "Sometimes. But I was going to say, "fix the problem." Sometimes, that might mean rescuing people instead of killing them."
— Rear Admiral Serin Osman explains the purpose of Ferret teams[1]

Ferrets are covert special operations units of Spartan-IIIs from Gamma Company under the authority of the UNSC Navy's Office of Naval Intelligence. Teams of Ferrets are deployed to investigate situations that prove threatening to the Unified Earth Government and its United Nations Space Command, and then "fix the problem", perhaps by eliminating targets or rescuing endangered individuals.[2]

Following the Human-Covenant War, ONI feared that knowledge of the illegal and dangerous drugs utilized by the Spartan-IIIs of Gamma Company would become public. Taking measures in an effort to prevent such a leak from occurring, in September 2553, ONI officially listed all Spartan-IIIs of Gamma Company as killed in action and reorganized them into Ferret teams. One such team included Ash-G099, Olivia-G291, and Mark-G313 led by ONI operative Veta Lopis, a former special inspector for the Gao Ministry of Protection.[2]
