==Summary==
[[UNSC Marine|Marine]] squad [[Hacksaw Squad|Hacksaw]] request immediate [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan]] assistance after coming under heavy fire from [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]] forces. [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Sarah Palmer]] acknowledges and sends in [[Fireteam Crimson]] to reinforce the embattled marines. Shortly after arriving, Spartan [[Jared Miller]] points to three different locations Hacksaw units are holding up. After Crimson rescues the first group of marines, the bulk of Hacksaw is temporarily re-assigned under [[Spartan]] command to support Crimson in their rescue operation. After rescuing the other groups of Hacksaw, Spartan [[Robert Dalton]] request the area to be cleared of Covenant reinforcements in order to send a [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] dropship for extraction. After clearing the area, Crimson and the rest of the surviving marines are directed to the top of a [[Forerunner]] structure for retrieval. Before the Pelican arrives however, a pair of [[Type-44 Troop Carrier|Phantom]] gunships arrive, one of which carrying a small contingent of [[Sangheili Storm|Sangheili]] warriors. Crimson eliminates the group of Elites as well as the Phantoms before Dalton's Pelican arrives for extraction.

==Transcript==
'''{Cutscene}'''

''A [[Sangheili Storm]] orders a [[Kig-Yar Sniper]] around. The Fortress is crawling with Covenant. Scene switches to two marines in cover.''

*'''Marine''': "''Infinity''! This is Hacksaw. We're getting hit hard on all sides! We need reinforcements, ordnance... hell, I'd settle for a straight-up evac right now!"

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Man up, Hacksaw. Reinforcements inbound."

'''{Gameplay}'''

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Crimson, it's a straightforward rescue op. If it's UNSC, save its ass. If it's a Covie, blast it to hell."

*'''Miller (COM)''': "Commander Palmer, I'm painting the locs of Marines calling for assistance."

''When the player approaches the near-left squad.''

*'''Private First Class Forrest''': "Hey! It's Spartans!"

*'''Private Ted Brown''': "Oh, hell yeah!"

''When the player approaches the near-right squad.''

*'''Sergeant Virgil Bernardin''': "There's our ride home, Marines!"

*'''Private Gordon Cooper''': "Hell yes!"

''When the player approaches the far squad.''

*'''Private Fred Gordon''': "Look! Spartans! We're saved!"

''After the player dispatches the Covenant attacking the first squad:''

*'''Miller (COM)''': "Heads up, drop pod incoming!"

''After the player kills the reinforcements.''

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Nice work, Crimson. Hacksaw Team, you're under Spartan command for the duration. Fall in with Crimson and offer fire support."

*'''Forrest''': "You got it, Commander!"

''After the player kills the second group of attackers.''

*'''Miller (COM)''': "Drop pod incoming!"

''After the player kills those reinforcements.''

*'''Miller (COM)''': "Hacksaw Group Two is clear, Commander."

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Looking pretty good down there, Crimson. Keep it up."

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Dalton, you there?"

*'''Dalton (COM)''': "Online, Commander."

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Line up a ride for Crimson and friends."

*'''Dalton (COM)''': "Pelican will be inbound inside of ten, Commander."

''After the player kills the Covenant attacking the third squad.''

*'''Miller (COM)''': "Drop pods inbound, Commander."

''After the player rescues the third squad.''

*'''Miller (COM)''': "Covenant drop pods inbound!"

''After the player eliminates the last reinforcements.''

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Excellent work."

*'''Miller (COM)''': "Watch out! Hostiles inbound! Phantom's transporting a Wraith, Commander."

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Dalton, sitrep on that extraction team?"

*'''Dalton (COM)''': "Just need a place to land, Commander. But there is a lot of activity down there."

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Crimson, clear the tower of any Covenant and give Dalton's people somewhere to park."

*'''Dalton (COM)''': "Look out, there's a Phantom headed your way!"

''Phantom deploys the Wraith.''

''After the Wraith is destroyed:''

*'''Miller (COM)''': "Hostiles inbound, Crimson!"

*'''Miller (COM)''': "Phantom incoming!"

''Enemy Phantom unloads more troops. Crimson kills most of them.''

*'''Miller (COM)''': "Don't relax yet. You've got more hostiles heading your way."

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Keep sharp, Crimson."

''After the player nearly clears the area.''

*'''Miller (COM)''': "Just a few Covenant remaining. Marking them for you."

''After the player kills them all.''

*'''Miller (COM)''': "All right Crimson. Your ride's inbound. Fall back to the LZ."

''When the player reaches the top of the tower.''

*'''Miller (COM)''': "Oh this is bad."

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Spit it out, Miller."

*'''Miller (COM)''': "Phantoms. Multiple inbound on Crimson's position."

*'''Dalton (COM)''': "Multiple?"

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Well that's hardly fair. They'll need way more than that if they're going to beat Crimson."

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Ammo crates?" 

*'''Dalton (COM)''': "Leftover from earlier, Commander. Should be pretty well-stocked."

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Ammo up, Crimson."

''After the player destroys the last Phantom.''

*'''Miller (COM)''': "That's all of the Phantoms, Commander!"

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Told ya it wasn't a fair fight."

''Or, if there are any enemy troops remaining:''

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Crimson, clear out the last few stragglers down there. Dalton, get your bird on the ground pronto."

----

''If the player saves two or more marines:''

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Textbook example of kicking ass. Well done, Crimson."

''Or, if the player saves only one marine:''

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Well, Crimson, at least you got one marine out."

''Or, if the player fails to save any marines:''

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Crimson, this was a search-and-rescue mission. I think you forgot the rescue bit."

----

*'''Miller (COM)''': "That's everyone. Crimson, you can head to the evac point."

''A Pelican lands atop the tower.''

*'''Dalton (COM)''': "Pelican is on point and waiting, Commander."

*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Understood, Dalton. Job's done, Crimson. Come on home."
