Fireteam Crimson: Difference between revisions

After [[Catherine Halsey]]'s abduction by Covenant forces, all Spartan fireteams were dispatched to find her.  Fireteam Crimson was first sent to a location on Cyclone where they investigated a transmission seemingly sent by Halsey. After clearing out Jul 'Mdama's Covenant forces guarding the base, they delved deeper into the structure and found a Covenant comm terminal with a message from Jul 'Mdama, ordering all forces to head to Librarian's Rest. While investigating, Crimson came under attack by Prometheans. The Spartans were unexpectedly aided by Sentinels under the control of the Librarian. Roland eventually traced Halsey's transmission to another Covenant-occupied Forerunner structure. Upon investigating, Crimson learned the transmission had been sent to [[Lockup]]. Crimson then investigated another transmission sent by Halsey through Apex this time. Using Scorpion Tanks, the Spartans fought their way through Covenant and Promethean forces and reached the terminal where Halsey's transmission had been sent to. This transmission had also been relayed to Lockup.

Upon being deployed at Lockup, Crimson stormed the facility and defeated 'Mdama's Covenant guards. However, Covenant and Promethean reinforcements soon showed up, forcing them not only to fend for themselves, but also assist the Marine squad that had accompanied them. After repelling the attackers, Crimson found a grav lift that led them to the top of the structure. There they discovered that 'Mdama's Covenant had previously (and unsuccessfully) tried to force a captured Marine squad to activate a Forerunner device.  Crimson defeated a final counterattack by Covenant forces, then activated the device themselves. The device revealed holographic map of Requiem similar to the one Dr. Glassman had found earlier. Roland determined they could use this map to find a way to free ''Infinity'' from Requiem.
