Jul 'Mdama's Covenant then staged [[Battle of Galileo Base|an attack]] on the base to show that they were attempting to recover the artifact. While Fireteam Crimson defended the base, Fireteam Majestic extracted "the [[Didact's Gift]]" and brought it back to ''Infinity'', where it was analyzed by Halsey. By giving Halsey the "soul of a Promethean Knight", 'Mdama had gained Halsey's interest in cooperating to find the Librarian. Their partnership, however, was discovered by Captain Lasky and Commander Palmer, who then took Halsey into custody. Spartan [[Gabriel Thorne]], during his examination of the artifact, was taken to Requiem like Glassman. On Requiem, 'Mdama's Covenant and Promethean forces [[Battle at The Refuge|attacked]] UNSC research bases "[[The Refuge (Requiem location)|the Refuge]]" and Magma Base, but both of these attacks were successfully repelled by [[Fireteam Crimson]] with the assistance of [[Fireteam Shadow]] in "the Refuge," resulting in the destruction of another cruiser. Additionally, the UNSC gained vital intelligence on Requiem's portal system and was able to control it before Crimson destroyed a device at "the Refuge" that allowed the portals to open in order to limit the movement of 'Mdama's Covenant and Prometheans. During their search for Spartan Gabriel Thorne in the Quarry, members of Crimson were captured by 'Mdama's Covenant forces.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Memento Mori|S105 Memento Mori]]</ref> | Jul 'Mdama's Covenant then staged [[Battle of Galileo Base|an attack]] on the base to show that they were attempting to recover the artifact.

Spartan Thorne was captured by Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and was brought to where Glassman was. Glassman, on the other hand, managed to activate the Librarian's device, and used the opportunity to escape. Glassman's escape distracted the Sangheili who took Thorne prisoner, giving Thorne the chance to retaliate. Together, the duo ran away, heading for Galileo Base, being chased by a vengeful [[Gek 'Lhar]].

Crimson only found Switchback's blank [[IFF]] tags and destroyed two consoles aboard the Harvester to ensure its permanent disabling.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Scattered|S106 Scattered]]</ref> | ||

Believing to have obtained what they were looking for, [[Jul 'Mdama]] activated Requiem's [[self-destruct]] system which set the [[shield world]] to collide with its sun. All of 'Mdama's Covenant ships were ordered to evacuate from Requiem; the crew of ''Infinity'' took note of this mass exodus and soon realized that Requiem was steadily moving towards the system's star. ''Infinity'' could not move, being still firmly anchored to the shield world due to [[interdiction web|the anchor]] generated by [[Requiem slipspace artifacts|the slipspace artifact]] on board resulting in the ship getting pulled along with Requiem towards the sun. Using the map obtained by [[Fireteam Majestic]] from [[Gek 'Lhar]], Dr. [[Henry Glassman]] was able to determine that there were three artifacts generating the anchor and that deactivating the two located on Requiem would set the ship free. Commander [[Sarah Palmer]] decided to take Fireteam Majestic after one artifact while sending [[Fireteam Crimson]] after the other. As Requiem got closer to its sun, the planet began experiencing frequent earthquakes from the gravitational disturbance created by the sun causing the shield world to begin shaking itself apart.<ref name="Exodus">''Spartan Ops'', [[Exodus (Spartan Ops)|S1E10 Exodus]]</ref> | Believing to have obtained what they were looking for, [[Jul 'Mdama]] activated Requiem's [[self-destruct]] system which set the [[shield world]] to collide with its sun.

Following the coordinates from the map, Crimson was redeployed to [[Harvester (location)|the area]] where they had previously stopped 'Mdama's Covenant archeological dig. Eliminating 'Mdama's Covenant forces around the area, Crimson discovered that the coordinates pointed to inside of a rock wall and realized that the excavation they had interrupted was to find the artifact.

Eliminating 'Mdama's Covenant forces around the area, Crimson discovered that the coordinates pointed to inside of a rock wall and realized that the excavation they had interrupted was to find the artifact. With the artifact beyond their reach, Spartan [[Jared Miller]] decided to reactivate the disabled [[Za'zayara-pattern Harvester|Harvester]] and use its [[plasma drill]] to bore a hole through the rock. However, Covenant drop pods deployed more troops while the Harvester, which had been retaken by 'Mdama's Covenant, had an energy shield protecting its entrance. While Crimson required air support to blast through the shield, anti-air defenses in the area prevented that. Though the weapons were shielded, [[Roland]] managed to take down the shields, allowing Crimson to destroy the guns. [[Lieutenant]] [[TJ Murphy]] was able to take out the shield with a Pelican's guns and Crimson were able to board the Harvester, eliminate the crew and rescue several scientists who had been kidnapped by 'Mdama's Covenant to repair the Harvester. However, Dr. [[Dennis Russell]] revealed that the Harvester's power supply had been destroyed and the Harvester was inoperable. Roland was able to come up with a plan to retrieve a replacement power supply for the Harvester and had Crimson extracted.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Exodus (Spartan Ops)/Artifact|S1010 Artifact]]</ref> | ||
On Roland's direction, Crimson was sent back to "[[Apex]]" to get the power supply, but due to the anti-air defenses being too heavy, Crimson was instead dropped in the "[[Warrens]]" to make their way to "Apex" through an alternate route. Outside the main cavern, Crimson was aided by an [[orbital bombardment]] sent in by [[Robert Dalton]]. Battling 'Mdama's Covenant and Promethean forces, Crimson was forced to activate three energy sources in the "Warrens" to overload a locked door, but managed to make it to "Apex."<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Exodus (Spartan Ops)/In One Way|S1010 In One Way]]</ref> In "Apex," Crimson met up with [[Fireteam Forest]] whose Pelican had been shot down in the area and the two fireteams combined forces, using [[M12G1 Gauss Warthog|Warthogs]] to push up "Apex" towards a structure indicated by Roland. After taking down the shield generators blocking off the structure and eliminating 'Mdama's Covenant and Promethean forces, Crimson activated a Covenant comm terminal which set off an alarm that drew a [[Kmiro'sish-pattern Lich|Lich]] to the area. Roland revealed his plan to be to steal the Lich's engine core to replace the Harvester's power supply. Crimson and Forest managed to eliminate all the forces dropped by the Lich which eventually retreated to a cliffside to pepper the area with turret fire. Crimson managed to board the Lich and steal the power supply, destroying the Lich in the process. With the area still too dangerous for Pelican evac, Crimson retreated to the "Warrens" using the available vehicles in the area to escape the same way they came in.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Exodus (Spartan Ops)/Seize the Power|S1010 Seize the Power]]</ref> In the "Warrens," with the quakes getting worse, Crimson was forced to contend with 'Mdama's Covenant and Promethean forces, aided by [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Mantis|Mantises]] from crashed Pelicans. With the "Apex" guns active and preventing a Pelican extraction as well as an energy shield blocking the way out, Crimson destroyed the three energy sources they had activated on their previous trip through the area, disabling the shields and guns. After eliminating 'Mdama's Covenant forces on the beach outside, including Wraiths, Crimson was extracted to finish their mission to shut down the artifact.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Exodus (Spartan Ops)/Out the Other|S1010 Out the Other]]</ref> | On Roland's direction, Crimson was sent back to "[[Apex]]" to get the power supply, but due to the anti-air defenses being too heavy, Crimson was instead dropped in the "[[Warrens]]" to make their way to "Apex" through an alternate route.
