Crimson then had to face another crisis: Jul 'Mdama's Covenant had broken into the engine room and were planning to destroy the ship with the stolen [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]]s.

At that point, Jul 'Mdama's Covenant disabled ''Infinity's'' aft weapons. On Miller's orders, Crimson headed over to aft weapons control, where they destroyed 'Mdama's Covenant hardware jamming devices preventing the guns from firing. They then brought the ship's weapons back online, destroying at least one of the {{Class|CRS|light cruiser}}s attacking the ship. | At that point, Jul 'Mdama's Covenant disabled ''Infinity's'' aft weapons.

They secured the server room for a third and final time, then returned to the hangar bay. There, they battled and defeated a large force of Hunters. By now, the tide had turned in the UNSC's favor.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Invasion (Spartan Ops)/Victory Lap|S107 Victory Lap]]</ref> | ||

After Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]]'s abduction by Covenant forces, all Spartan fireteams were dispatched to find her. Fireteam Crimson was first sent to a location in "[[Cyclone]]" where they investigated a transmission seemingly sent by Halsey. After clearing out Jul 'Mdama's Covenant forces guarding the base, they delved deeper into the structure and found a Covenant comm terminal with a message from Jul 'Mdama, ordering all forces to head to Librarian's Rest. While investigating, Crimson came under attack by Prometheans. The Spartans were unexpectedly aided by Sentinels under the control of the [[Librarian]] who they aided in transmitting herself to [[the Absolute Record]].<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Key/The Search for Halsey|S109 The Search for Halsey]]</ref> Roland eventually traced Halsey's transmission to another Covenant-occupied Forerunner structure at "[[Control]]."

Upon being deployed at "Lockup," Crimson stormed the facility and defeated 'Mdama's Covenant guards.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Key/Revenge|S109 Revenge]]</ref> However, Covenant and Promethean reinforcements soon showed up, forcing them not only to fend for themselves, but also assist the Marine squad that had accompanied them. After repelling the attackers, Crimson found a grav lift that led them to the top of the structure.

Crimson recaptured the Harvester and powered it back up using the Lich's engine core. They used the Harvester's plasma drill to carve out an entrance in the rocks, exposing a cave. Crimson entered the cave and fought their way through numerous Prometheans before finally reaching the artifact, which was housed within a massive Forerunner structure. They deactivated the artifact and escaped as the cavern began to collapse. Near the exit, Crimson encountered one last group of Sangheili. After defeating the Elites, Crimson exited the cave and made it back outside, where Murphy arrived in a Pelican to pick them up.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Exodus (Spartan Ops)/One Last Time|S1010 One Last Time]]</ref> | Crimson recaptured the Harvester and powered it back up using the Lich's engine core.

Shortly afterwards, Commander Palmer and Fireteam Majestic located and disabled the second artifact. They too left Requiem in a Pelican. Crimson and Majestic made it back to the ''Infinity'' just in time to escape Requiem's destruction. | Shortly afterwards, Commander Palmer and Fireteam Majestic located and disabled the second artifact.

*Fireteam Crimson are the playable protagonists of ''[[Halo 4]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s ''[[Spartan Ops]]'' cooperative campaign. Like [[SPARTAN-B312|Noble Six]] in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', their appearance, gender, and equipment are determined by the players. Even the size of the team is not established in the game, as ''Spartan Ops'' supports between one and four players per chapter. Presumably Crimson has four members, though, as that is the recommended team composition for ''Spartan Ops'' sessions (as well as the default team size in [[matchmaking]]). Nonetheless, dialog and the ''Fireteam'' designation clearly indicate that Crimson canonically has multiple members. | *Fireteam Crimson are the playable protagonists of ''[[Halo 4]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s ''[[Spartan Ops]]'' cooperative campaign.
