The Covenant forces later retook the area and placed three [[Covenant burst artillery|plasma artilleries]] in this area, allowing them to provide support to nearby troops.

After the abduction of Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]], Crimson was redeployed to "Cyclone" as Halsey had been using it to bounce her transmissions around. Cyclone had once again been retaken by the Covenant, but the force guarding the area was much smaller and less heavily armed than on the previous occasions and were eliminated without much trouble. At the same time that Crimson was in Cyclone, the [[Librarian]]'s [[mind transfer|imprint]] was attempting to use a structure in the area to transmit herself to the [[Absolute Record]]. As Roland hacked the comm terminal in search of Halsey, the Librarian aided him in decoding the information and deployed beam turrets and [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s to aid Crimson in fighting off attacking Prometheans. Both the decoding and the Librarian's transfer got stuck at 99% until Crimson opened up the breaker on the power source in the area. Roland was able to track the bouncing signal to "[[Control]]" while the Sentinels used their beams to open the structure in the middle of the area. In the form of a massive stream of energy, the Librarian's data stream was transmitted from Requiem to the Absolute Record. Dr. [[Lani Truman]] was able to tell that the stream of energy was a massive data stream, but it was moving too fast to analyze while the Librarian announced that it was going to the Absolute Record. With Halsey's transmission traced to "Control," Crimson was extracted from the area by Pelican.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Key/The Search for Halsey|S109 The Search for Halsey]]</ref> | After the abduction of Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]], Crimson was redeployed to "Cyclone" as Halsey had been using it to bounce her transmissions around.
