===Studying the area===
===Studying the area===
At the request of Infinity Science, Fireteam Crimson was tasked with studying the towers in the canyon. This involved bringing down the shields of those towers while intermittently fighting Covenant forces. With the shields knocked down, [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] was brought on station to study the towers. Crimson activated the tower at the doctor's request. This generated a vast amount of data for examination. Immediately after this, the Covenant returned and were eliminated. Crimson was ordered to return to Mountain Squad's Pelican.<ref name="spartanmountain"/>

===Defending the canyon===
===Defending the canyon===
After regrouping at Mountain's Pelican, further Covenant forces mobilized onto the canyon. Previous Marine forces had established several [[M3063 Deployable Turret|turrets]] in the canyon. Crimson began to active them while fighting off the Covenant including [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraiths]]. In a lull during combat, several Pelicans offloaded Mantises onto the field. The Covenant began to launch a large air assault on Crimson with a {{Class|CRS|light cruiser}} moving in to attack. Spartan Palmer requested to extract Crimson. Crimson continued to hold ground as the cruiser moved into position over the battlefield. ''[[Sub-Vessel 3]]'' arrived on station and destroyed the cruiser, allowing Crimson to escape.<ref name="shootoutvalhalla"/>
