| After entering Requiem in [[2557]], the Covenant took over [[Reclaimer (level)|this location]] and blocked the end of the canyon with a shield supported by three generators. The {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} deployed a [[M510 Mammoth|Mammoth]] staffed with [[Thomas Lasky|Commander Lasky]], [[John-117]], [[UNSC Marines]] and [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan-IVs]] to disable a [[gravity well]] and destroy the [[particle cannon]]s protecting it. The Mammoth reached the Quarry and John-117 took down the generators and killed Covenant forces. Moving through the canyon, John-117 used a [[H-295 Forward Observer Module|Target Designator]] to enable the Mammoth to destroy another cannon. However, Covenant forces led by a [[Kmiro'sish-pattern Lich|Lich]] supplanted by [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantoms]] attacked the Mammoth. John-117 and the Spartan-IVs fought off the Covenant, with the Spartan-II destroying the Lich. However, John-117 had to progress through the rest of the region without the Mammoth's support.<ref name="Reclaimer">'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]]''</ref> | | After entering Requiem, the Covenant took over this location and blocked the end of the canyon with a shield supported by three generators.

| Covenant forces reclaimed the Quarry, and several months later, in [[2558#February|2558]], [[Fireteam Crimson]] was deployed to the location to defeat groups of Covenant foes and disable more Covenant power cores. Crimson [[Operation: LAND GRAB|cleared the area]] of Covenant engaging [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraiths]] and [[Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Ghosts]], and destroyed the power cores. The [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] sent by [[Robert Dalton]] then picked up Crimson.<ref>''[[Spartan Ops]]'', [[Departure/Land Grab|S101 Land Grab]]</ref> | | Covenant forces reclaimed the Quarry, and several months later [[Fireteam Crimson]] was deployed to the location to defeat groups of Covenant foes and disable more Covenant power cores.

| Covenant led by [[Parg Vol]] later retook the position. Crimson was again deployed to neutralize Vol and defeat the Covenant. While the Spartans were successful in beating back squads of Covenant, Vol still managed to escape. Crimson then discovered a stockpile of UNSC assets stolen by the Covenant, including several [[M808 Main Battle Tank|Scorpion tanks]] and used it against Covenant reinforcements to complete the mission.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Catherine/The VIP|S103 The VIP]]</ref>

| Later, [[Roland]] and [[Jared Miller|Miller]] tracked [[Gabriel Thorne]] to this area after he was captured by [[Sangheili Storm]]. The area was once again full of Covenant forces, and Crimson was sent in to look for Thorne. Though the "Quarry" was [[Ambush at the Quarry|cleared of hostiles]], Thorne was nowhere to be found. The evacuation of Crimson failed as [[Pelican 653|the Pelican]] piloted by [[Ryan Frank]] was suddenly destroyed. A Covenant armada including several Phantoms, [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] and a {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}} then converged on Crimson's position.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Memento Mori/Spartan Thorne|S105 Spartan Thorne]]</ref> The team was captured and then taken to the Covenant-occupied Forerunner structure known as "[[Lockup]]."<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Scattered/Escape Plan|S106 Escape Plan]]</ref>

| ==Trivia==
| |
| In ''Spartan Ops'', the Quarry's ends are blocked off as opposed to the open sides seen in the [[Campaign]] level ''[[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]]''. This is most likely for gameplay purposes.
