 ==Summary==
-The data pulled from the [[Sacred|previous]] mission points to earlier reports of [[Covenant remnant|Covenant]] archeological teams working within [[Requiem]]. The data leads to a [[Forerunner]] complex, in which the Covenant had set up a dig site. [[Fireteam Crimson]] is sent in to investigate. They encounter stiff resistance from the Covenant, which incites curiosity of [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Palmer]], who wonders what they could be guarding. [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan]] [[Jared Miller]] discovers Covenant anti-air guns operating within the vicinity and redirects [[Fireteam Castle]] to take them out. After eliminating all Covenant resistance, Crimson discovers an unknown Forerunner artifact guarded by [[Promethean]]s. The Spartans clear the area, but are again attacked. Spartan [[Robert Dalton]] sends in a [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] dropship to retrieve the artifact as Crimson defends the area. After Fireteam Castle successfully disables the anti-air defenses, both Fireteam Crimson and the artifact are extracted out of the area before enemy reinforcements arrive.

+Note: All dialogue is spoken through the COM.
+'''{Cutscene}'''
+''Open to the shot of an active volcano. A Phantom flies overhead and approaches a Covenant squad as a [[Sangheili Storm]] looks on.''
+*'''Palmer''': "Okay, Crimson. The data you pulled out of the jungle ties into some earlier info on Covenant archaeological teams. The Covies have found a needle in the Requiem haystack, and you're going to stop them from retrieving it."
+'''{Gameplay}'''
+*'''Palmer''': "First things first, Crimson. Eliminate anything that moves."
+''Crimson reaches an open area in time to see a Phantom take off. A plasma cannon spots them and opens fire.''
+*'''Miller''': "Crimson, advise you to keep an eye on that turret."
+''A drop pod arrives and deposits a squad of Covenant reinforcements. Crimson team makes its way up a ramp and eliminates all Covenant resistance.''
+*'''Palmer''': "Miller, find Crimson a way through those doors."
+*'''Miller''': "There appears to be a power source here. Activating waypoint now."
+''The player activates the switch. A Phantom appears over the cliffs.''
+*'''Miller''': "Structural movement, Commander."
+''Two Elites leap over the wall and engage Crimson.''
+*'''Miller''': "Crimson, I'm marking a pair of power sources that just appeared. Activating them should clear the path between you and our Covenant archaeologists."
+''The player activates one of the switches.''
+*'''Miller''': "That's one."
+''Second switch is activated:''
+*'''Palmer''': "Got 'em both. Miller?"
+''The doors open and Covenant spill out.''
+*'''Miller''': "I was right. Door's opening, Commander."
+*'''Palmer''': "Move ahead to the next area, Crimson."
+''Crimson moves through the door and battles more Covenant.''
+*'''Dalton''': "Commander?"
+*'''Palmer''': "Go ahead, Dalton."
+*'''Miller''': "There's some serious anti-air activity happening in the area around Crimson. We can't guarantee any kind of extraction."
+*'''Palmer''': "Commander Palmer to Fireteam Castle. You're on, Spartans. Dalton's got targets for you."
+*'''Spartan [[Ernst Deming]]''': "Affirmative, Commander."
+----
+''or, if the player has activated the RvB Easter egg:''
+*'''Caboose''': "Um, the regular radio guy isn't here right now. Um... sorry."
+----
+''Crimson eliminates all enemies in the area.''
+*'''Miller''': "More shields."
+*'''Palmer''': "Find a way to bring them down. I don't like the Covenant working this hard to guard a dig."
+*'''Miller''': "There're the shield controls."
+''Crimson activates the console. Several Crawlers appear.''
+''As the player approaches the waypoint.''
+*'''Palmer''': "Shut them down, Crimson."
+''Several [[Promethean Knights]] appear. Crimson eliminates them.''
+*'''Palmer''': "Promethean Knights are working alongside Covenant? That's bad news. Get a look at what they were guarding."
+''Crimson activates the switch. The ground shakes as a bright blue light rises from the ground and an [[Requiem slipspace artifacts|artifact]] appears.''
+*'''Miller''': "What is that?"
+*'''Palmer''': "I don't care. If the Covies wanted it this badly, I'm happy to get it first."
+''Several Crawlers and Knights appear.''
+*'''Miller''': "Watch out!"
+*'''Palmer''': "Defend the artifact, Crimson! Dalton! Crimson needs immediate evac!"
+*'''Dalton''': "Still working with Castle to take down air defenses, Commander!"
+*'''Palmer''': "Fireteam Castle, this is Commander Palmer! I need an ETA on clear skies!"
+*'''Deming''': "It's gonna take a little bit longer, Commander! We're doing all we can!"
+----
+''or, if the player has activated the RvB Easter egg''
+*'''Caboose''': "Seriously, the regular radio guy said he would be right back. He's in the bathroom."
+----
+''Crimson clears the area.''
+*'''Miller''': "Commander, there's a LOT of Covenant aircraft inbound!"
+*'''Palmer''': "Dalton! Where the hell is that ride?!"
+*'''Dalton''': "She's at the LZ, Commander."
+*'''Palmer''': "About time! Crimson! Let's go!"
+''A Pelican approaches Crimson's position. The player grabs the artifact.''
+'''{Cutscene}'''
+''The Pelican lifts off.''
+*'''Pilot''': "Crimson and artifact are onboard and we are ''Infinity'' bound."
+*'''Palmer''': "Nice work, Crimson. Come on home."
+''The Pelican flies off into the sunset.''
+'''EPISODE COMPLETE'''
+''Level ends.''
