{{ | As [[Fireteam Crimson]]'s stolen [[Type-44 Phantom|Phantom]] got close to "[[Control]]," they received a message from a [[Sangheili]] over the [[Covenant battle network|Covenant battlenet]] which [[Roland]] explained was ordering them to land at the secure facility since the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] thought the dropship still belonged to them. [[Spartan-IV|Spartan]] [[Jared Miller]] ordered [[Lieutenant]] [[TJ Murphy]] to play along and he landed at "Control" as requested. Interested in why the Covenant considered the location to be important, [[Commander]] [[Sarah Palmer]] ordered Crimson to check the facility out. | ||
Almost immediately after Crimson's emergence from the dropship, they came under attack from the defending Covenant forces, including [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghosts]], who quickly realized that the dropship was under enemy control. Spotting stolen UNSC gear nearby, Crimson was able to use the weapons to help eliminate the Covenant forces. Miller then detected a nearby Covenant comm relay and Palmer directed Crimson to check it out. After eliminating the Covenant between them and the relay, Crimson removed the hardware lock for Roland, allowing him to access the relay. Using Crimson's short range comm equipment, Roland was able to transmit a worm into the Covenant systems, allowing Roland access to the data within from the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. Pleased, Palmer ordered Roland to pass along everything he found to ''Infinity'' Command. | |||
As Crimson emerged outside again, they came under attack by Covenant reinforcements from a Phantom and Miller determined that there were two other Covenant comm relays nearby that they could get access to as well. Palmer ordered Miller to direct Crimson to the other relays and they unlocked the second one for Roland after fighting through the Covenant defenders. Roland uncovered information on detailed Covenant troop movements from the second relay and Crimson fought their way to the third. However, as Roland planted the worm, the Covenant placed the system on lockdown and sent in further reinforcements. | |||
Once the reinforcements were eliminated, Roland was able to determine that the lockdown was controlled by two Covenant terminals and destroying them had a ninety percent chance of breaking the lockdown. Palmer ordered Crimson to destroy the terminals as more reinforcements were deployed by [[heavy orbital insertion pod]]s. Though Murphy attempted to keep the Covenant Phantoms off of Crimson, one was able to slip through and attack. Despite heavy resistance, Crimson was able to destroy the terminals and Roland succeeded in planting the last worm. Roland reported to Palmer that the tap was active on all three Covenant channels and he was hot and cold running information.<ref name="All the Secrets" /> | |||
