[[Fireteam Crimson]] was redeployed by [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] to "[[Apex]]" to take the area. Noticing that the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] had [[teleportation grid|portals]] set up to bring in reinforcements, [[Spartan-IV|Spartan]] [[Jared Miller]] ordered Crimson to shut them down. Crimson battled their way through heavy Covenant forces, including [[Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Ghosts]], as [[Commander]] [[Sarah Palmer]] came back online. Crimson eventually reached a shield wall blocking their way forward, but Miller located a maintenance panel for it and determined that if Crimson overloaded the fusion coils, it would take down the shield. Following Palmer and Miller's instructions, Crimson brought down the shield, resulting in an explosion from the way it was taken down. Fighting their way forward, Crimson located the first portal and cleared out the Covenant in the area before shutting it down.

With the first portal closed, Miller directed Crimson in the direction of the remaining two portals. Crimson battled their way through more Covenant, including a cloaked [[Sangheili Zealot]], before they reached an open area where {{Pattern|Gloto'kas|Assault Carapace}}s deployed more Covenant reinforcements. Despite the heavy Covenant presence, Crimson eventually managed to reach and close the second portal. Crimson was then able to fight their way to the third portal and shut it down as well, preventing the Covenant from using "Apex's" portals to bring in any more reinforcements.{{Ref/Reuse|Unfinished Business}}

As Miller and Palmer celebrated Crimson's success, [[Robert Dalton]] made contact with the news that a [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]] was inbound on Crimson's position. Moments later, a [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] dropped off a Wraith backed up by Covenant infantry. Crimson managed to take out the Covenant forces, and Miller confirmed for Palmer that [[Fireteam Lancer]] was ready to babysit the area as soon as they were given the sign.

As Crimson fought their way to the landing zone, Miller picked up a strange signal on a Covenant frequency, which he eventually determined to be an SOS in Morse code. As the Covenant didn't use Morse code, Miller promised to keep an eye out for the strange signal. However, as Crimson reached the extraction point, Covenant reinforcements arrived in drop pods. Crimson managed to clear out the Covenant and Dalton directed a Pelican to their location for extraction.{{Ref/Reuse|Unfinished Business}}

As [[Fireteam Crimson]] awaited the arrival of the [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] to extract them, the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} received a distress call from [[Fireteam Majestic]], who were being [[Ra'aam-pattern burst cannon|shelled]] by the Covenant and needed help. As the Pelican picked Crimson up, Palmer had them redeployed to aid Majestic.{{Ref/Reuse|Unfinished Business}} Alongside [[Fireteam Kodiak]], Crimson [[Assault on Cyclone|assaulted]] the Covenant batteries at "[[Cyclone]]" and destroyed them, saving Majestic.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Expendable/Majestic Rescue|S108 Majestic Rescue]]</ref>
