==Summary==
==Summary==
In "[[Apex]]," Crimson continues their search for a replacement power source for the [[Za'zayara-pattern Harvester|Harvester]]. They team up with [[Fireteam Forest]] who was shot down over "Apex," and head up the mountain, where, according to [[Roland]], they can find a suitable power source. The Spartans battle their way up the mountain and eventually arrive at a shielded Forerunner structure. After destroying three shield generators powering the shield, Crimson enters the structure and defeat the [[Promethean]]s inside. Instead of a power source, they find a Covenant comm terminal which Roland instructs them to activate. They do so and trigger an alarm which summons a Covenant [[Kmiro'sish-pattern Lich|Lich]] to their position.

After destroying three shield generators powering the shield, Crimson enters the structure and defeat the Prometheans inside. Instead of a power source, they find a Covenant comm terminal which Roland instructs them to activate. They do so and trigger an alarm which summons a Covenant Lich to their position.


Roland then explains his real plan (much to Miller's unhappiness): Crimson must board the Lich and steal its engine core, which they can use to power the Harvester. Before they can board the ship, however, Crimson has to defeat the numerous enemy troops deployed by the Lich. When the Lich starts to fall back, Crimson boards the ship and fights their way to the engine core. They steal the core and escape the Lich, which explodes moments later. The power core in their possession, Crimson races back to the "[[Warrens]]" as [[Requiem]] continues to fall apart around them.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The tenth and final ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'' Easter Egg of Season 1 can be found on this level. Atop the large plateau where you have to clear out the Covenant and fight the [[Lich]], there is a downed pelican resting near a large, rocky elevation. If you check behind the pelican's troop bay, you'll find the radio waiting for activation. Later, when [[Fireteam Crimson]] must aboard the Lich using some [[Series 8 jetpack|jetpacks]], Freelancer Agent Georgia will say "Cool, jetpacks! That will help us get on that ship or my name isn't Agent Georgia". This references to a running gag found in Red vs. Blue Season 10, in which Agent Georgia was involved in a terrible incident, apparently due to not following "course correction" while using a jetpack, to which his body was never found. In addition, this Easter Egg is highly reminiscent of [[James-005]]'s fate.

*When the player first approaches Fireteam Forest, there is a dead Unggoy near the Pelican crash site. Unlike other corpses found in the game, the reticule turns green when the player looks at it, and the player can step on it.

*The Lich's core can be seen attached on the player's back after taking it from the Lich. This is similar to how [[The Package (data storage unit)|Cortana's data storage unit]] could be seen on [[SPARTAN-B312]]'s back on the ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''.
