| ==Summary== | | ==Summary== |
| Having learned about a [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] intel center from the data extracted in the previous mission, Palmer sends Crimson to [[Raid on the Warrens|infiltrate the facility]]. Murphy's [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] drops Crimson off at the "[[Warrens]]." After dispatching a small Covenant camp outside the facility, the Spartans attempt to access the main doors. The controls fail to respond, so Miller sends them through an alternate route.

| | |
| Crimson gets inside the facility and clears out the Covenant inside, including a group of cloaked Elites. Their actions trigger an attack by Promethean forces. After dealing with the Prometheans, Crimson locates a computer terminal which Miller hacks. They learn about [[Harvester (location)|a Covenant archaeological dig]] in progress and about [[Cyclone|a Covenant supply depot]] located nearby. Palmer sends a message to [[Fireteam Switchback]] instructing them to disrupt the dig.
| |
| | |
| Having completed their mission, Crimson fights their way out of the facility and clears a landing zone for Murphy's Phantom. Palmer then orders Crimson to head to the Covenant supply depot.

| '''{Cutscene}'''
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson’s Phantom flies over a [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]]-occupied canyon. Some [[Unggoy]] are sleeping nearby.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Commander [[Sarah Palmer]]''': “Crimson, the data collected from those Covie computers has tipped us off to a central intel center. I’d like you to poke around.”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson’s Phantom comes in for a landing.''
| |
| | |
| *'''[[Lieutenant]] [[TJ Murphy]]''': “Dropping you at the edge of the base, Crimson. See you on the other side.”
| |
| | |
| '''{Gameplay}'''
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson moves out into the canyon. They come across a small Covenant camp. The Grunts are still sleeping.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Palmer''': "Look at that. Little jerks are sleeping on the job. Quick and quiet, Crimson. Get the drop on them."
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson assassinates the sleeping Grunts.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Spartan [[Jared Miller]]''': "They didn't even know what hit them. Good work, Crimson."
| |
| | |
| ''Once the remaining Covenant are alerted to Crimson's presence:''
| |
| | |
| *'''Palmer''': “Looks like we get to do this the old fashion way, Spartans. Run-and-gun.”
| |
| | |
| ''The Spartans eliminate the remaining Covenant, including a [[Zealot]].''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Excellent work. Head for the door, Crimson.”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson heads to the door. However, the access controls fail to respond.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Looks like it isn’t opening. Have a look around. There has to be another way in.”
| |
| | |
| ''An enemy Phantom appears.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Phantom on approach!”
| |
| | |
| ''Phantom deploys more Covenant troops. Crimson deals with them.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Palmer''': “That’s all of them.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Okay, I think I found you another way inside. Marking it now.”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson heads toward the alternate route. An energy shield blocks the way.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Path’s blocked here. Check that console and see if there’s a way to bring that barrier down.”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson touches the console. The barrier goes offline.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “That should do it. Barrier’s down.”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson enters the passage.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Palmer''': “It’s quiet... I don’t like it when it’s quiet.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “There’s movement all over the place. But no visual.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Palmer''': “Active camo. Keep your guard up, Crimson.”
| |
| | |
| ''Stealth Elites attack Crimson. Crimson defeats the Covenant and soon arrives at the edge of a ridge overlooking a massive cavern. The Spartans move in to investigate.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Setting waypoint.”
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Multiple contacts!”
| |
| | |
| ''Crimson engages the Covenant guards. They move further into the cavern and arrive at the base of a Forerunner structure.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Miller''': “Incoming! Crimson stirred up the locals!”
| |
|
| |
|
| ''Prometheans teleport in and engage Crimson.''
| |
|
| |
| ''Once all enemies are defeated:''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Miller''': “Crimson, there’s a control panel here. Looks like it’s rigged into a Forerunner light bridge system.”
| |
|
| |
| ''Crimson finds the control panel and activates the light bridge.''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Miller''': “Commander Palmer, the whole structure is lighting up.”
| |
|
| |
| ''More Prometheans appear.''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Palmer''': “Crimson, looks like flipping the switch got you a bit more than you asked for, but I’m sure you can handle it. Stay the course and find that intel.”
| |
|
| |
| ''Once Crimson has cleared the area:''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Palmer''': “All right. Let’s see what the Covenant are up to.”
| |
|
| |
| ''Crimson activates a control panel.''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Miller''': “Extracting intelligence, Commander.”
| |
|
| |
| *'''Palmer''': “Excellent. Run it through translation and give me the highlights. Crimson, time to catch your ride out of there.”
| |
|
| |
| ''An enemy Phantom appears. So do more Covenant and Prometheans. Crimson fights their way through the opposition.''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Palmer:''' “Doing good, Crimson. What’ve we got, Miller?”
| |
|
| |
| *'''Miller''': “Covenant are engaged in an archeological dig.”
| |
|
| |
| *'''Palmer''': “We have ''got'' to get these guys a new hobby.”
| |
|
| |
| *'''Miller''': “Fireteam Switchback is available to investigate.”
| |
|
| |
| *'''Palmer''': “Contact Switchback’s operator. Let ‘em know I want eyes on that dig.”
| |
|
| |
| *'''Miller''': “Consider it done.”
| |
|
| |
| ''Crimson arrives back at the main door leading into the cavern. This time, they are able to open it.''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Miller''': “Commander, there’s something else coming down the translator pipe. A Covie supply depot very close to Crimson’s position.”
| |
|
| |
| *'''Palmer''': “Murphy, we’re gonna borrow a little more of your time.”
| |
|
| |
| *'''Murphy''': “Happy to oblige. I can pick up Crimson just as soon as they’ve cleared me a landing spot.”
| |
|
| |
| ''An enemy Phantom appears.''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Dalton''': “Phantom inbound on Crimson’s position!”
| |
|
| |
| *'''Miller''': “They’re moving to fortify.”
| |
|
| |
| ''The Phantom drops a Deployable Lookout Tower.''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Dalton''': “You’ve got drop pods heading Crimson’s way.”
| |
|
| |
| ''More enemy reinforcements show up.''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Dalton''': “Dalton to Crimson. Phantom coming your way.”
| |
|
| |
| ''Phantom deploys Hunters.''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Miller''': “Hunters!”
| |
|
| |
| ''Crimson eliminates most enemies.''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Miller''': "Clean 'em up!"
| |
|
| |
| ''Once the area is clear:''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Miller''': “Good job.”
| |
|
| |
| *'''Murphy''': “Coming in for you, Crimson.”
| |
|
| |
| ''Murphy’s Phantom arrives.''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Palmer''': “Excellent work, everyone. Murphy, set a course for the supply depot. Crimson, ready up and reload. This day’s not over yet.”
| |
|
| |
| ''Crimson boards the Phantom.''

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *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.
