'''''Clean Up''''' is the first chapter of ''[[Spartan Ops]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki> second episode, ''[[Artifact (Spartan Ops)|Artifact]]''.<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/spartanops#episodeId=2 '''Halo Waypoint''' - '''''Spartan Ops'' menu.''']</ref>

==Summary==
[[UNSC Marines]] request [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan]] assistance after failing to neutralize a [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] stronghold as well as [[Forerunner]] anti-air turrets. [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Palmer]] responds by sending [[Fireteam Crimson]] to seize control of the area. Crimson engage the Covenant, mostly consisting of [[Unggoy Storm|Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar Storm|Kig-Yar]] warriors. Upon getting closer to the structure, Crimson encounters [[Promethean Watcher]]s. After clearing all Covenant in the area, Crimson is directed by [[Jared Miller]] to two pylons powering the Forerunner turrets. In the process of disabling the pylons, Crimson fights off [[Promethean Crawler]]s supported by more Watchers. 

After disabling the pylons, the turrets are deactivated. Before Crimson is extracted however, Miller picks up a [[slipspace]] anomaly nearby. Crimson is ordered to investigate. They encounter more Promethean forces, including multiple [[Promethean Knight|Knights]], who [[Slipspace translocation|translocate]] into the area. Crimson is forced to clear the area again. After doing so, [[Robert Dalton]] directs a [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] dropship for Crimson's extraction. As the Pelican arrives, Miller receives a distress call from a Science team who request for [[UNSC]] assistance. Palmer acknowledges and immediately sends Fireteam Crimson on the way.

'''{Cutscene}'''

''Pan to "[[the Gate]]" where four anti-air guns are firing into the air. A [[Kig-Yar Heavy|Jackal Heavy]] stands on a rocky outcrop.''

*'''Palmer''': "Crimson, your job today is to dig out some nasty Covenant squatters. They've parked themselves in a hole with anti-air guns and are proving themselves to be quite a pain in the UNSC's ass. Hit 'em fast, hit 'em hard, don't leave anyone standing."

'''{Gameplay}'''

*'''Miller''': "Whoa! Mounted turrets."

*'''Palmer''': "Take it slow, Crimson. No need to rush."

*'''Miller''': "Commander, there's a few Watchers in the air."

*'''Palmer''': "So not just Covenant, but Prometheans, too. Noted."

''After the player reaches the top of the structure and kills all of the Covenant.''

*'''Miller''': "Watchers!"

*'''Palmer''': "Heads up!"

''After the player kills several Watchers.''

*'''Miller''': "Almost done. Just a few to go."

''The player kills the last Watcher.''

*'''Miller''': "Area's clear, Commander."

*'''Palmer''': "Let's get those AA guns offline."

*'''Miller''': "Marking the conduit pylons now. There you go, Crimson."

''Two waypoints appear at either side of the structure's base.''

''The player approaches the first waypoint several Crawlers and Watchers appear.''

*'''Dalton''': "Commander Palmer, how long until those guns are offline? I can't get a bird within ten klicks of that location."

*'''Palmer''': "Settle down, Dalton, we're working on it."

''The player activates one switch.''

*'''Miller''': "One pylon offline."

''As the player nears the second waypoint several more Crawlers and Watchers appear.''

''The player activates the second switch.''

*'''Miller''': "That's both pylons, Commander - whoa! A slipspace signature just blipped near Crimson."

*'''Palmer''': "Point the way, Miller. Let's have a look."

''A waypoint appears near the front of the structure. More Watchers and Crawlers appear.''

*'''Miller''': "Lots of activity nearby. Be ready for anything, Crimson."

*'''Palmer''': "Dalton, Crimson could use some resupply."

*'''Dalton''': "You got it, Commander."

''Four ordnance pods containing two rocket launchers, a railgun and a SAW drop at the base of the structure. As the player approaches the pods several Promethean Knights appear.''

*'''Miller''': "Oh, man! Knights!"

''After the player kills most of the Prometheans.''

*'''Miller''': "You're almost there! Hell yeah!"

*'''Palmer''': "Miller. A bit of decorum, please?"

''All Prometheans are neutralized:''

*'''Miller''': "That's the last of them, Commander."

*'''Palmer''': "Dalton, a ride home for Crimson, please."

*'''Dalton''': "You got it, Commander."

''A Pelican approaches and hovers in front of the structure.''

*'''Miller''': "Commander Palmer, distress call coming in. It's the science team investigating where Crimson recovered that Forerunner artifact."

*'''Palmer''': "Distress?"

*'''Miller''': "Heavy Covenant forces bearing on their position. They've taken refuge, but they need extraction."

*'''Palmer''': "Miller, tell them help's on the way. Dalton, change of plans. Crimson's going to rescue some eggheads."
