'''''Sacred''''' is the fourth chapter of ''[[Spartan Ops]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki> first episode, ''[[S1/Departure|Departure]]''.<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/spartanops#episodeId=1 '''Halo Waypoint''' - '''''Spartan Ops'' menu.''']</ref>

''[[UNSC Infinity|Infinity]]'' science personnel request a [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan]] [[Fireteam]] to investigate a [[Forerunner]] structure located within [[Requiem]]s jungle. [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Palmer]], impressed from their previous [[The Challenge|mission]], sends [[Fireteam Crimson]] to scout out the area. Crimson enters a large atrium inside the structure and encounter no hostiles. The place is seemingly abandoned until [[Jared Miller]], Crimsons mission handler, picks up power fluctuations coming from the back-end of the facility. Crimson proceeds to the power source and encounters [[Promethean]] [[Promethean Crawlers|Crawlers]] guarding a star chart. They are ordered to extract the data from a nearby console. As Miller establishes an up-link to extract the data, Crimson fend off multiple Crawlers who [[Slipspace translocation|translocate]] near them. With the data pulled, Palmer orders Crimson to pull-back and await for extraction. As Crimson leaves, they run into a group of [[Promethean Knight]]s. The situation goes awry when the structure's main entrance is closed and more Promethean forces show up. Crimson is forced to defend themselves. Miller finds a way for the Spartans to escape, and points them to a console that controls the facility's door. Crimson activates the controls and are ordered to clear out any remaining hostiles. With the structure secured and the data uploaded, the mission is a success. Spartan [[Robert Dalton]] arrives with a [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] dropship for extraction.

''The camera pans through the Refuge, finally focussing on a star map at the far end of the map.''

*'''Palmer''': "Crimson, good work showing [[Fireteam Majestic|Majestic Team]] how it's done. [[Paul DeMarco|DeMarco'll]] be mad about that for days. I need a fireteam I can depend on, and until you prove otherwise, you're it. Infinity Science has identified a jungle structure they want to see up close. I want boots on the ground before the eggheads go poking at every shiny object they find."

*'''Palmer''': "That's a star map. See if you can access the data."

*'''Palmer''': "Okay, Crimson. This was only ever recon. I'm pulling you out until Science Team can review that data. Miller, mark the extraction point.

*'''Palmer''': "Better make it quick!"
