After [[Fireteam Crimson]] succeeded in [[Assault on Magma Base|defending]] [[Magma Base]] in "[[the Cauldron]]" from [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] forces, [[Roland]] detected [[Spartan-IV|Spartan]] [[Gabriel Thorne]]'s [[IFF]] transponder nearby.

Roland was able to determine which way Thorne had been taken and Spartan [[Jared Miller]] ordered Crimson to follow Roland's directions and chase after Thorne.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Memento Mori/The Cauldron Base|S105 The Cauldron Base]]</ref> | After [[Fireteam Crimson]] succeeded in [[Assault on Magma Base|defending]] [[Magma Base]] in "[[the Cauldron]]" from [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] forces, [[Roland]] detected [[Spartan-IV|Spartan]] [[Gabriel Thorne]]'s [[IFF]] transponder nearby.

As [[Fireteam Crimson]] regained consciousness at "[[Lockup]]," [[Roland]] finally discovered their location and contacted [[Spartan-IV|Spartan]] [[Jared Miller]]. Miller quickly ordered [[Robert Dalton]] to distract the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] forces and Dalton launched a diversionary bombardment. The bombardment knocked out power to Crimson's shackles, allowing them to break loose and kill their guards. Using the guard's weapons, Crimson battled the Covenant in the area as Miller, Roland and Dalton attempted to come up with a plan for their escape to safety.

Once the area was clear, Roland discovered a heavily-shielded potential evacuation zone. Crimson was able to deactivate the shield as Miller ordered Dalton to send Crimson a ride.

After the Covenant were cleared out, Miller detected several Covenant aircraft parked nearby and suggested Crimson try stealing one to escape rather than waiting for a ride from the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. Crimson fought their way through a nearby passageway to the Phantom landing pad, but the Phantom took off before the Spartans could reach and hijack it.<ref name="Escape Plan" /> | ||
