[[Fireteam Crimson]] was deployed to the "[[Warrens]]" to help [[Fireteam Lancer]] clear out the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] in the area. As they arrived, the two [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelicans]] dropped their [[M12B Warthog|Warthogs]] on top of two of the [[Unggoy]] guards in the area, killing them. Spartan [[Terry Hedge]] of Lancer reported that the Covenant had hooked [[active camouflage]] up to the shield generators between the landing zone and the caves, keeping the Spartans from taking the shield out until the active camouflage could be dealt with. Palmer ordered Crimson to secure the area while Miller began searching for a way to deal with the cloaked generators. | [[Fireteam Crimson]] was deployed to the "[[Warrens]]" to help [[Fireteam Lancer]] clear out the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] in the area.

As they battled with the Covenant,<ref name="Lancer" /> Miller picked up the same mysterious SOS he had previously detected.<ref name="Unfinished Business" /> However, unless Miller had a solution to that mystery, Palmer was uninterested. An enemy [[Type-44 Phantom|Phantom]] deployed a [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]] and Miller finally determined that one of the [[Sangheili]] on the Wraith was controlling the cloaks on the generators. Crimson and Lancer were able to destroy the Wraith and kill the Sangheili, causing the cloak around the shield generators to drop. With the shield generators visible, Crimson and Lancer cleared out the Covenant in the area and destroyed the generators, dropping the shield wall barring their way. | ||
With the shield down, Palmer ordered the two fireteams to proceed with Crimson taking the lead. As they approached the door to the caves, Miller determined that it was shut tight but with a lot of movement behind it. To draw their attention, Crimson and Lancer eliminated the Covenant forces guarding the door, causing the forces behind it to open the door and emerge to engage the two fireteams. Crimson and Lancer were able to eliminate the Covenant reinforcements and proceed through the door into the cave system. | With the shield down, Palmer ordered the two fireteams to proceed with Crimson taking the lead.

As Crimson and Lancer proceeded, Miller picked up the SOS again and realized that it was coming from within the cave system itself. Inside, the Spartans engaged Covenant infantry as well as turrets and Ghosts with Phantoms deploying more reinforcements, including two Wraiths. Crimson and Lancer managed to clear out all of the Covenant forces and proceed to the Forerunner structure in the center of the cavern. As they proceeded, Miller received a call from [[Poker Squad]] who had captured a Sangheili who was willing to give up the location of a Covenant listening post that had been enabling the Covenant to keep track of the UNSC's movements | As Crimson and Lancer proceeded, Miller picked up the SOS again and realized that it was coming from within the cave system itself.

Pleased, Palmer ordered Miller to have Poker check it out and then make the deal.<ref name="Lancer" /> | ||
