==Summary==
==Summary==
With the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} now safe, [[Fireteam Crimson]] [[Raid on Apex|returns]] to "[[Apex]]" to retake the area. The [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] are ready for them and have set up Forerunner portals that can bring in reinforcements. Miller orders Crimson to take out the portals. Crimson locates and disables all three portals. They then proceed to clear out the remaining Covenant in the area. During the battle, Miller picks up an SOS in Morse code on the Covenant comm network. He isn't sure what to make of it since the Covenant don't use Morse code.
{{Expand-Section}}
 
After Crimson finishes securing the area, [[Fireteam Lancer]] is called to stand guard over the area. ''Infinity'' then receives a transmission from [[Fireteam Majestic]] asking for backup. Palmer orders Crimson to assist Majestic.

==Trivia==
===Strategy===
*When facing the [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]] tank, the best strategy, especially if you're in a captured [[Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Ghost]], is to remain in the cave system while engaging the Wraith. The Wraith will come to the cave entrance, but cannot fire at the player while they are deep inside. If the player has a Ghost, they can simply fire at the Wraith until it is destroyed while shooting at the Covenant around it. In this manner, the Wraith can be destroyed relatively easily without the player putting themselves into danger while doing it.
===Miscellaneous===
*The title is presumably a reference to [[Jared Miller]]'s comment about Spartans not leaving unfinished business, in this case referring to [[Skirmish at Apex|the aborted mission]] from ''[[Invasion (Spartan Ops)/Backup|Backup]]''.
