While Fireteam Switchback goes to deal with the Covenant excavation, Crimson is assigned to take out the plasma supply depot. | While [[Fireteam Switchback]] goes to deal with the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] [[Harvester (location)|excavation]], Crimson is assigned to [[Raid on Cyclone|take out]] the [[Cyclone|plasma supply depot]]. The Spartans arrive at the facility, deal with the guards, and destroy all three plasma stockpiles. However, they also discover stolen UNSC equipment at the base. What's more, Miller is detecting unusual readings from inside the central structure. Palmer orders Crimson to investigate the depot's central structure. After finding the access controls, Crimson opens the central structure's door. The Spartans deal with a group of Stealth Elites, then move into the structure to investigate. There, they discover a cache of stolen nuclear weapons. Worse, the warheads themselves have been removed. Just then, Crimson receives a distress call from Switchback, who are facing massive resistance at the dig site. Palmer orders Crimson to head for the dig site and help Switchback. | ||
