'''''Seize the Power''''' is the third chapter of ''[[Spartan Ops]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki> tenth episode, ''[[Exodus (Spartan Ops)|Exodus]]''.<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/spartanops#episodeId=10 '''Halo Waypoint''' - '''''Spartan Ops'' menu.''']</ref>

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.

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.

''Crimson is in the middle of a Forerunner structure on "[[Apex]]" having just come through the passage from the "[[Warrens]]."''

''Crimson soon meets up with a stranded group of Spartan IVs.''

*'''Roland (COM)''': “[[Requiem]]’s still moving towards the sun but we’re okay for now...”

''The Spartans cut through the first line of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] defense and reach a heavy gate.''

''Enemy [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] deploys a wave of enemy troops. Crimson eliminates them.''

''Door controls are marked. Crimson activates them and opens the gate. They move on through.''

''The Spartans dodge the attacking Phantoms and head inside the structure. The interior is packed with [[Promethean]]s.''

*'''Dalton (COM)''': “Miller, you might want to give Crimson a heads up. [[Kmiro'sish-pattern Lich|Lich]] inbound.”

*'''Roland (COM)''': “They’re going to steal the Lich’s engine core and use it to power the [[Za'zayara-pattern Harvester|Harvester]].”

''The Lich unleashes multiple waves of Covenant, including [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]]. Swarms of [[Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Ghosts]] also attack.''

''Using jetpacks or a [[M274R Mongoose|Mongoose]] or [[M12B Warthog|Warthog]], Crimson makes the jump and boards the Lich.''

''Crimson grabs whatever vehicles are available and make their way back toward the level's starting point. Phantoms and Forerunner [[Z-510 focus turret|beam turrets]] fire at them as they race down the hill. Another quake hits.''

*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.
