'''Gypsy Company''' | '''Gypsy Company''' is a formation of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]]. In [[2557#July|July 2557]], the unit was attached to the {{UNSCship|Infinity}} during the [[First Battle of Requiem]].<ref name="Reclaimer">'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]]''</ref> | ||
==Clearing an egress route== | |||
After fending off an attack by the recently awakened [[Ur-Didact|Didact's]] [[Promethean]] constructs and [[Covenant remnant|Covenant]] devotees, [[Andrew Del Rio|Captain Andrew Del Rio]] ordered that the ship return to [[Earth]] to report the crew's findings. However, ''Infinity'' was caught by an artificial gravity well that kept the ship from leaving [[Requiem]]. Gypsy Company was deployed under the tactical purview of Commander [[Thomas Lasky]], the ship's executive officer, to destroy the [[particle cannon]]s that defended the gravity well generator.<ref name="Reclaimer"/> | |||
A roughly platoon-sized element of the company was deployed aboard an [[Mobile Anti-Aircraft Weapons Platform M510 Siegework/Ultra-Heavy|M510 Mammoth siege vehicle]], accompanied by [[Master Chief Petty Officer|MCPO]] [[John-117]] and four [[SPARTAN-IV Program|SPARTAN-IVs]]. A trio of [[D79-TC Pelican]]s assigned to the company provided aerial support. Two of the Pelicans, (including ''[[Papa Foxtrot 766]]'', callsign ''Gypsy Seven''), were destroyed by the first cannon and the third crashed in a nearby depression. The Master Chief and a squad of Marines retrieved a [[H-295 Forward Observer Module|target designator]] from the Pelican and used it to coordinate the Mammoth's fire, destroying the first gun.<ref name="Reclaimer"/> | |||
The company trundled through the canyons, destroying Covenant targets along the way, until reaching the area later designated "the [[Quarry]]" and designating the next cannon. There, the Mammoth and escorting [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|M12 Warthogs]] were ambushed by a [[Deployment Platform Type-56 Ground Support/Ultra Heavy|Lich ultra-heavy dropship]], which disabled the siege vehicle's main gun. The Marines fended off the Covenant long enough for SPARTAN-117 and a newly arrived team of SPARTAN-IVs to board and destroy the Lich. After the Lich was neutralized, the survivors continued until reaching a dead-end canyon; the Master Chief disembarked on foot toward a nearby structure, while the Marines moved on to link up with ''Infinity''. Ultimately the gravity well generator was destroyed and Gypsy Company's mission was successful.<ref name="Reclaimer"/> | |||
