| ==Summary== | | ==Summary== |
| Picking up from where [[Key/Revenge|the last chapter]] left off, Crimson is forced to hold off additional enemy reinforcements now including [[Promethean Crawlers]]. After defeating the attackers, the Spartans move on to the next area and assist [[Poker Squad]] in eliminating the enemy forces. While Crimson is assisting Poker Squad, Roland detects [[Hawk Squad]]'s IFF tags. Once Poker Squad is safe, Crimson is sent to investigate. After fighting through numerous [[Promethean]] forces they arrive at Hawk's position to find only their tags. [[Jared Miller]] accesses a recording on one of the tags that reveals the Marines had been captured by Elites looking for [[Reclaimer]]s. Hawk was killed while the Elites tried to activate a device. Crimson activates the device while holding off [[Elite]] and [[Promethean Watcher]] reinforcements. The device is revealed to be a map of [[Requiem]]. Roland quickly contacts Dr. [[Henry Glassman]] and believes the map could help them free the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} from Requiem.

| '''{Gameplay}'''
| |
| | |
| ''Fade in to moments after the previously level had ended. Crimson is exactly where they were. Pelicans are in retreat.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Crimson, hope you caught your breath. Because here come the bad guys.”
| |
| | |
| ''[[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantoms]] bombard the area, destroying a [[M12B Warthog|Warthog]].''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Oh no! Phantoms! Get to cover!”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson receives an emergency transmission:''
| |
| | |
| *'''Poker Squad Marine''': “Spartans! [[Poker Squad]] here! We could use some backup.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Understood, Marines. We’ll be with you shortly.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “You’re pretty popular today, Crimson. Everyone wants your attention.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “Spartan Miller?”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Hold on a second, Roland. Prometheans! Take ‘em out, Crimson!”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson engages a wave of Promethean Crawlers.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Knights! Crimson, be careful!”
| |
| | |
| ''or''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': "Oh man, Knights!"
| |
| | |
| ''Knights phase onto the battlefield. Another wave of Crawlers appears as well.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Watch out for the Crawlers. They’re everywhere.”
| |
| | |
| ''Once most enemies are down:''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Poker Squad, how are you holding up?”
| |
| | |
| *'''Poker Squad Marine''': “We’ve got ‘em held off, but could use some help if you can send it.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Be with you soon, Poker.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “More bad guys!”
| |
| | |
| ''Doors leading into the structure open. More Promethean Knights exit. At the same time, a portal opens up and Watchers emerge.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “We’ve got Watchers in the area, Crimson.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Poker Squad Marine''': “Poker to Spartans: It’s getting ugly in here.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Almost there, Poker. Crimson, move a little quicker. Poker needs assistance ASAP.”
| |
| | |
| ''Once most enemies are down:''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Painting the last few targets for you now.”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson defeats the remaining Prometheans:''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Area secured. Nice. Miller to Poker Squad: Crimson’s on their way.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Poker Squad Marine''': “Understood, Spartan. Looking forward to the company.”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson heads through the open doorway and into the structure where they find a small arsenal for them. They go through another set of doors and meet up with Poker Squad on the other side.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Poker Squad Leader''': “Good to see you, Spartans! Welcome to the fun!”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson and Poker engage the attacking Prometheans.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “Spartan Miller! This is REALLY important! You’ve got a batch of Marines wandering around.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Yeah, it’s Poker Squad. They’re just defending-”
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “No. These tags are from [[Hawk Squad]].”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Hawk? They’re not assigned to this mission.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “Well, they’re there.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Hey, you’re right. What are they doing there?”
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “Dunno. But thought you might like to get a look... especially since they’re right where Halsey’s comm signal was routed.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Spartan Miller to Hawk Squad! Marines? Hello? No response. Roland?”
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “I’ve got nothing, Spartan.”
| |
| | |
| ''Once most enemies are down:''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Just a few stragglers, Crimson.”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson and Poker take out the last Prometheans:''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “That’s what I like to see.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Poker Squad, you have the situation in hand?”
| |
| | |
| *'''Poker Squad Marine''': “We do now. Thanks, Spartans.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Crimson, fall out to this position. Let’s go find Hawk.”
| |
| | |
| ''Waypoint is set on a door. Crimson opens it and enters the structure.''
| |
| | |
| ''Promethean Crawlers scale the walls inside.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “On the walls!”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “One sec, Crimson. Analyzing the maps of this area. Trying to figure out how Hawk got where they seem to be.”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson moves out into another open area. More Prometheans attack.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Sniper fire!”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Keep it up!”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson clears out the area. A large door opens up, revealing more Prometheans.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Get ready. More bad guys headed your way.”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson fights their way into the structure.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Okay, I think I’ve got it. There’s a grav lift that we’ve never been able to activate. Let’s take a look down here.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Roland, you got a second?”
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “You have any idea how long a second is for an AI?”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Use Crimson’s short range link to check out that control panel for me.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “Done.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “That was quick.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “For you, sure.”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson clears out all of the Prometheans.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Impressive, Crimson.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Crimson, fire it up. Let’s see what happens.”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson activates the control panel Miller indicated.''
| |
| | |
| ''Another door opens up, revealing a chamber containing a light bridge that leads to a [[gravity lift]].''
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “Hawk’s definitely at the top of that thing, and I’ve confirmed Dr. Halsey’s signal was routed through that area.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Climb aboard, Crimson.”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson crosses the light bridge and enters the grav lift. The beam takes them up to the very top of the structure.''
| |
| | |
| ''The Spartans find Hawk Squad’s [[IFF]] tags but no sign of the Marines.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Oh no... Hawk.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “Not seeing anyone alive.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Okay, got access to a recording on a Hawk IFF tag. Playing it now.”
| |
| | |
| ''Recording is played:''
| |
| | |
| *'''Sangheili (recording)''': ''“Nmtahbonwon Sayoh.”''
| |
| | |
| *'''Marine (recording)''': ''(pleading)'' “I don’t understand...”
| |
| | |
| *'''Sangheili (recording)''': ''(frustrated)'' ''“Gah-eymayoh Reecleymah toymeh-ushou zosuerohkoh!”''
| |
| | |
| *'''Marine (recording)''': “Nothing’s happening.”
| |
| | |
| ''Elite roars in anger; sound of an energy sword being activated; Marine screams in pain''
| |
| | |
| ''Recording ends''

| ''If the player has RvB Easter egg activated:''
| |
| | |
| ''Recording is played:''
| |
| | |
| *'''Sangheili (recording)''': “Nmtahbonwon Sayoh.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Church (recording)''': “Yeah, I have absolutely no idea what you just said.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Sangheili (recording)''': “Gah-eymayoh Reecleymah toymeh-ushou zosuerohkoh!”
| |
| | |
| *'''Church (recording)''': ''(exasperated)'' “Dude! ''Listen to me!'' I do not speak alien!”
| |
| | |
| ''Sound of gunfire''
| |
| | |
| *'''Church (recording)''': “Gah! This is such BS!”
| |
| | |
| ''Elite snarls in anger; sound of an energy sword being activated''
| |
| | |
| *'''Church (recording)''': “Argh! Blargh!”

| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Roland, translation?”
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “Elites were here, trying to find [[Reclaimer]]s. Humans who can operate Forerunner technology. And the tech they were interested in is the same stuff Halsey’s call was routed to.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “See if you can find where the call bounces from here.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “This is it. Her call hit here, then bounced off into the [[proselytization network|Covenant battlenet]].”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Running through the other IFF tags. It looks like the Elites were at this for awhile.”
| |
| | |
| ''Promethean Crawlers suddenly surround Crimson. Crimson fends them off.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Roland, mark one of the panels they were interested in. Crimson, get a closer look.”
| |
| | |
| ''A panel is marked. Crimson activates it.''
| |
| | |
| ''The nearby triangular structure sinks partway into the floor. The three-pronged claw-like column at the center of the area unfolds, revealing a pair of horizontal ring structures suspended in midair, one hovering above the other.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “Ummm... Something’s happening.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Any idea what that panel actually did?”
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “Nope, but it upset the locals pretty good.”
| |
| | |
| ''Promethean Watchers phase in. A Covenant Phantom also arrives and drops off a group of high ranking Sangheili.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Here they come!”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson repels the attack.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Try the others. I want to know what the Elites were after.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “There’s another panel over there.”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson activates the second panel. The corresponding triangular structure lowers itself.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “That should do it.”
| |
| | |
| ''More Watchers phase in. A second Phantom deploys another wave of Sangheili.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Here they come!”
| |
| | |
| ''Once most of the attackers are down:''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Here’s the last of them:”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson defeats the remaining Prometheans and Covenant.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Excellent work!”
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “Final panel located.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “What the hell? Let’s do it, Crimson.”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson activates the final panel.''
| |
| | |
| ''The third triangular structure lowers itself. The central column finishes unfolding. A holographic image of [[Requiem]] appears between the floating rings.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Roland, what is this?”
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “Looks kind of like Dr. Glassman’s map. Let me get him on the line.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Dr. [[Henry Glassman]]''': “Glassman.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “Hey, Doc. Got something you oughta see.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Glassman''': “What is this?”
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': “Well, if you combine it with the map Spartan Thorne found, I think it’s the answer to all of our problems.”
