: I find it interesting that Blue Team is in contact with Infinity at the start
: of the game. I thought they were AWOL at the onset of H5, can't tell if
: that was just my impression from the reveal teaser or if that was stated
: at some point - but I thought tracking down chief/blue team was the reason
: for Osiris being assembled.

I'm under the impression that Blue Team goes AWOL after or during their first level. BUT, it does seem like Osiris is already an established team. Maybe they weren't individually picked, but the team as a whole?
