During the [[Requiem Campaign]], UNSC forces launched '''a raid''' on the location known as "[[Lockup]]" in order to destroy a [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] listening post. | During the [[Requiem Campaign]], UNSC forces launched '''a raid''' on the location known as "[[Lockup]]" in order to destroy a [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] listening post. | ||

At some point, a [[UNSC Army]] [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] was shot down in "[[the Cauldron]]" and assumed destroyed. However, the Pelican survived intact and was captured by the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] who transported it to "[[Lockup]]." Tying energy tethers from the Forerunner structure into the dropship's comm systems, the Covenant were able to turn the Pelican into a listening post to spy on the UNSC's communications and anticipate their moves in battle.<ref name="Crystal Ball">''[[Spartan Ops]]'', [[Expendable/Crystal Ball|S108 Crystal Ball]]</ref> | At some point, a [[UNSC Army]] [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] was shot down in "[[the Cauldron]]" and assumed destroyed.

The UNSC forces were immediately engaged by the Covenant forces defending the landing zone, but managed to eliminate them. [[Spartan-IV|Spartan]] [[Jared Miller]] directed Crimson to the door controls to the next area, but got interference around Crimson's uplink which he suspected could be why drones were unreliable in that particular area. Realizing that the Covenant had jammers, [[Commander]] [[Sarah Palmer]] ordered Miller to have them on the lookout for jammers as well. Crimson fought their way through a hallway defended by Covenant, including a [[Stealth Sangheili]] armed with an [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]] and reached a large open area on the other side. | The UNSC forces were immediately engaged by the Covenant forces defending the landing zone, but managed to eliminate them.

After all of the Covenant were eliminated in the area with the jammers, Miller detected a UNSC transponder in the adjacent chamber.

Entering the chamber, which was heavily defended by Covenant forces including several [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghosts]], Crimson found a [[UNSC Army]] [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] suspended in energy tethers. Miller identified the Pelican as one shot down in "[[the Cauldron]]" and assumed destroyed and it was quickly realized that the Pelican was the listening post, its comm systems enabling the Covenant to listen in on UNSC transmissions. Crimson battled the Covenant guarding the captured Pelican, bolstered by reinforcements from Phantoms and [[orbital drop pod]]s. Eventually, Crimson managed to eliminate all of the Covenant forces. | ||
After the Covenant were gone, Miller determined that the energy tethers were tied into the Pelican's comm systems and ordered Crimson to break them. As Crimson activated the four consoles around the suspended Pelican that would sever the energy tethers, Phantoms brought in more reinforcements which failed to stop Crimson. Once the link to the comm system was severed, Miller contacted [[Robert Dalton]] for a ride out and an orbital strike to destroy the Pelican which Dalton obliged. However, before either could arrive, another Phantom deployed more Covenant troops, including four [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]]. Crimson was able to eliminate all of the Covenant troops and clear a landing zone for extraction. | After the Covenant were gone, Miller determined that the energy tethers were tied into the Pelican's comm systems and ordered Crimson to break them.

Once the landing zone was clear, Crimson was extracted by a Pelican. As they flew away, Dalton targeted the captured Pelican with three missiles from orbit, destroying the Pelican and preventing the Covenant from ever using it as a listening post again. | Once the landing zone was clear, Crimson was extracted by a Pelican.
