Gabriel Thorne: "Commander Palmer, Majestic here. Dr. Glassman’s got a favor to ask. Roland says Crimson’s in a place to help."

Henry Glassman: "Spartan Thorne found a Covenant map. I think I can read it, but-"

Gabriel Thorne: "Dr. Glassman wants to know if Crimson can take a look for him?"

Sarah Palmer: "Sure. Why not."

— Gabriel Thorne, Henry Glassman and Sarah Palmer discuss the mission.

During the Requiem Campaign, Fireteam Crimson launched a raid on the location known as "Control" to test out Doctor Henry Glassman's understanding of the map of Requiem stolen from Gek 'Lhar.

Prelude

During a mission in "the Cauldron," Fireteam Crimson were able to retrieve a mysterious Forerunner artifact that they transported back to the UNSC Infinity. While examining the artifact, Doctor Henry Glassman accidentally activated it and was pulled in. Glassman was transported to Requiem's surface where he was captured by Covenant forces. In exchange for his life being spared, Glassman agreed to help Jul 'Mdama access the shrine at "Librarian's Rest" to gain access to the imprint of the Librarian stored within. Glassman was forced to work with inadequate equipment, but eventually succeeded in activating a protective shield around the shrine, albeit without knowing exactly what he had accomplished.

Due to Glassman's disappearance, Doctor Catherine Halsey was brought in to help examine the artifact. Jul contacted her in secret, offering Halsey information about the Prometheans. After Fireteam Crimson and Fireteam Majestic retrieved "the Didact's Gift," it was revealed to be the "soul" of a Promethean Knight, a human digitized by the Composer during the New Phoenix Incident six months earlier. As Halsey communicated with Jul about the discovery, she was found out by Commander Sarah Palmer and arrested for her actions. Spartan Gabriel Thorne, confused by the appearance of the artifact in the memories revealed in "the Didact's Gift," inadvertently activated it and was transported to "the Cauldron." Despite putting up a fight, Thorne was ultimately captured by two Sangheili Storm and taken to "Librarian's Rest" which was eventually detected by Roland.

Thorne managed to esacpe with Glassman, chased by Gek 'Lhar. The two were eventually rescued by the rest of Fireteam Majestic who killed Gek and looted his body. Shortly thereafter, team leader Paul DeMarco contacted the Infinity for help as Majestic was under fire from Covenant heavy artillery. Commander Sarah Palmer redeployed Fireteam Crimson, who had just finished a mission at "Apex," to assist them. Working together, Fireteam Crimson and Fireteam Kodiak assaulted the Covenant position at "Cyclone" and successfully destroyed the batteries, saving Majestic and Glassman.
