| ==Summary==
| |
| The data pulled from the [[Departure/Sacred|previous]] mission pointed to earlier reports of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|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 the curiosity of [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Palmer]], who wonders what they could be guarding. [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan]] [[Jared Miller]] discovers Covenant anti-air batteries operating within the vicinity and redirects [[Fireteam Castle]] to take them out. After eliminating all Covenant resistance, Crimson discovers an unknown Forerunner [[Requiem slipspace artifacts|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.

| '''{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."

| |
|
| |
| *'''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!"

| |
|
| |
| *'''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."
| |
