| ==Prelude== | | ==Prelude== |
| While searching for the missing [[Spartan-IV|Spartan]] [[Gabriel Thorne]], [[Fireteam Crimson]] was [[Ambush at the Quarry|ambushed]] at the "[[Quarry]]" and captured.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Memento Mori/Spartan Thorne|S105 Spartan Thorne]]</ref> Taken to "[[Lockup]]," Crimson managed to [[Escape from Lockup|escape]] with the help of [[Jared Miller]] and [[Robert Dalton]] and rescued [[Icebreaker squad]] who were held captive at the facility as well. [[Lieutenant]] [[TJ Murphy]] of Icebreaker squad successfully managed to hijack a Covenant [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantom]], which he and Crimson used to escape from "Lockup."<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Scattered/Escape Plan|S106 Escape Plan]]</ref>
| | {{Expand-section}} |
| | |
| Following their escape, Crimson's Phantom, mistaken by the Covenant for one of their own, was ordered to land at "[[Control]]." Crimson was able to [[First Raid on Control|infiltrate the facility]] and access three Covenant comm relays, allowing [[Roland]] to implant computer worms into them in order to access the data. Crimson then made their escape after eliminating the Covenant reinforcements.<ref name="All the Secrets">''Spartan Ops'', [[Scattered/All The Secrets|S106 All the Secrets]]</ref>

| ===Accessing the facility===
| | {{Expand-section}} |
| From the data recovered at "[[Control]],"{{Ref/Reuse|All the Secrets}} it was determined that there was a [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] central intel center located in the "[[Warrens]]" and [[Commander]] [[Sarah Palmer]] ordered [[Fireteam Crimson]] to check it out. [[Lieutenant]] [[TJ Murphy]] dropped Crimson off near the facility entrance in their stolen [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantom]], where they engaged the guarding forces, including a [[Sangheili Zealot]]. Crimson managed to eliminate the guarding Covenant, but the door wouldn't open. In response to Crimson's incursion, a Phantom dropped off more Covenant reinforcements which were quickly eliminated by Crimson.{{Ref/Note|If the player activates a console in the alternate route at the beginning before clearing the area and trying the main door, it will trigger a brief bombardment from one of the {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}}s overhead.}}
| |
| | |
| With the Covenant forces eliminated, [[Spartan-IV|Spartan]] [[Jared Miller]] located an alternate route blocked by a Covenant energy shield. Miller directed Crimson to a control console, which they were able to use to drop the shield and move inside a passage leading into the structure. Inside, Crimson was attacked by [[Stealth Sangheili]] which they were able to eliminate without suffering casualties.{{Ref/Reuse|Need to Know}}
| |
| | |
| ===Accessing the intel center===
| |
| Entering the massive cavern containing the Forerunner structure, Crimson eliminated the Covenant guards. As Crimson moved in close to the Forerunner structure, their presence attracted the presence of [[Promethean Knight]]s and [[Promethean Watchers]], which attacked Crimson. Despite heavy resistance, Crimson managed to eliminate the Promethean forces and Miller detected a control console rigged to a light bridge system. Crimson activated the light bridges, but in the process, drew more Promethean forces to their location. With the help of Covenant [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] parked in the cavern, Crimson was able to eliminate the Prometheans and clear the area.
| |
| | |
| With the enemy forces gone, Palmer ordered Crimson to activate the intel center, which was located at the far end of the light bridges. Crimson accessed the Covenant computer, allowing Miller to extract the information and begin running it through translation software. As Crimson began to leave, a Covenant Phantom entered the cavern and dropped off reinforcements as more Prometheans translocated in. As Crimson fought their way out, Miller learned that the Covenant were engaged in [[Harvester (location)|an archeological dig]]. With [[Fireteam Switchback]] available to investigate, Palmer ordered Miller to contact Switchback's handler and dispatch them to investigate. Shortly thereafter, Miller discovered [[Cyclone|the location]] of a Covenant supply depot near Crimson's position, and Palmer decided to redeploy Crimson to investigate.{{Ref/Reuse|Need to Know}}

| | |
| ===Extraction===
| |
| Emerging outside, Crimson found the area once again occupied by Covenant forces, with Phantoms dropping off reinforcements including a [[Covenant watchtower]] and a [[Mgalekgolo|Hunter]] pair. However, Crimson managed to eliminate all the Covenant forces and were extracted by Murphy's Phantom.{{Ref/Reuse|Need to Know}}

| | |
| ==Aftermath== | | ==Aftermath== |
| Based on the information recovered from the intel center in the "[[Warrens]]," Crimson was [[Raid on Cyclone|redeployed]] to take out the [[Cyclone|Covenant supply depot]] while [[Fireteam Switchback]] handled the [[Harvester (location)|Covenant archeological dig]].{{Ref/Reuse|Need to Know}} Though Crimson succeeded in their mission, Switchback came under heavy Covenant attack and contact was lost with them.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Scattered/Search and Destroy|S106 Search and Destroy]]</ref> Crimson subsequently finished Switchback's mission, though they had vanished without a trace by the time Crimson arrived.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Scattered/Switchback|S106 Switchback]]</ref>
