'''''Hacksaw''''' is the third chapter of ''[[Spartan Ops]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki> second episode, ''[[S1/Artifact|Artifact]]''.<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/spartanops#episodeId=2 '''Halo Waypoint''' - '''''Spartan Ops'' menu.''']</ref>

[[UNSC Marine|Marine]] squad [[Hacksaw Squad|Hacksaw]] request immediate [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan]] assistance after coming under heavy fire from [[Covenant remnant|Covenant]] forces. [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Sarah Palmer]] acknowledges and sends in [[Fireteam Crimson]] to reinforce the embattled marines. Shortly after arriving, Spartan [[Jared Miller]] points to three different locations Hacksaw units are holding up. After Crimson rescues the first group of marines, the bulk of Hacksaw is temporarily re-assigned under [[Spartan]] command to support Crimson in their rescue operation. After rescuing the other groups of Hacksaw, Spartan [[Robert Dalton]] request the area to be cleared of Covenant reinforcements in order to send a [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] dropship for extraction. After clearing the area, Crimson and the rest of the surviving marines are directed to the top of a [[Forerunner]] structure for retrieval. Before the Pelican arrives however, a pair of [[Type-44 Troop Carrier|Phantom]] gunships arrive, one of which carrying a small contingent of [[Sangheili Storm|Sangheili]] warriors. Crimson eliminates the group of Elites as well as the Phantoms before Dalton's Pelican arrives for extraction.

*'''Marine''': "Infinity! This is Hacksaw. We're getting hit hard on all sides! We need reinforcements, ordnance... hell, I'd settle for a straight-up evac right now!"

*'''Palmer''': "Man up, Hacksaw. Reinforcements inbound."

*'''Palmer''': "Crimson, it's a straightforward rescue op. If it's UNSC, save its ass. If it's a Covie, blast it to hell."

*'''Miller''': "Commander Palmer, I'm painting the locs of Marines calling for assistance."

*'''Marine''': "Hey! It's Spartans!"

*'''Marine''': "Oh, hell yeah!"

*'''Marine''': "There's our ride home, Marines!"

*'''Marine''': "Hell yes!"

*'''Marine''': "Look! Spartans! We're saved!"

 

''After the player dispatches the Covenant attacking the first squad.''

*'''Miller''': "Heads up, drop pod incoming!"

*'''Palmer''': "Nice work, Crimson. Hacksaw Team, you're under Spartan command for the duration. Fall in with Crimson and offer fire support."

*'''Marine''': "You got it, Commander!"

*'''Miller''': "Drop pod incoming!"

*'''Miller''': "Hacksaw Group Two is clear, Commander."

*'''Palmer''': "Looking pretty good down there, Crimson. Keep it up."

*'''Palmer''': "Dalton, you there?"

*'''Dalton''': "Online, Commander."

*'''Palmer''': "Line up a ride for Crimson and friends."

*'''Dalton''': "Pelican will be inbound inside of ten, Commander."

*'''Miller''': "Drop pods inbound, Commander."

*'''Miller''': "Covenant drop pods inbound!"

*'''Palmer''': "Excellent work."

*'''Miller''': "Watch out! Hostiles inbound! Phantom's transporting a Wraith, Commander."

*'''Palmer''': "Dalton, sitrep on that extraction team?"

*'''Dalton''': "Just need a place to land, Commander. But there is a lot of activity down there."

*'''Palmer''': "Crimson, clear the tower of any Covenant and give Dalton's people somewhere to park."

*'''Dalton''': "Look out, there's a Phantom headed your way!"

*'''Miller''': "Hostiles inbound, Crimson!"

*'''Miller''': "Phantom incoming!"

*'''Miller''': "Don't relax yet. You've got more hostiles heading your way."

*'''Palmer''': "Keep sharp, Crimson."

*'''Miller''': "Just a few Covenant remaining. Marking them for you."

*'''Miller''': "All right Crimson. Your ride's inbound. Fall back to the LZ."

*'''Miller''': "Oh this is bad."

*'''Palmer''': "Spit it out, Miller."

*'''Miller''': "Phantoms. Multiple inbound on Crimson's position."

*'''Dalton''': "Multiple?"

*'''Palmer''': "Well that's hardly fair. They'll need way more than that if they're going to beat Crimson."

*'''Palmer''': "Ammo crates?"  

*'''Dalton''': "Left over from earlier, Commander. Should be pretty well-stocked."

*'''Palmer''': "Ammo up, Crimson."

*'''Miller''': "That's all of the Phantoms, Commander!"

*'''Palmer''': "Told ya it wasn't a fair fight."

*'''Palmer''': "Textbook example of kicking ass. Well done, Crimson."

*'''Palmer''': "Well, Crimson, at least you got one marine out."

*'''Palmer''': "Crimson, this was a search-and-rescue mission. I think you forgot the rescue bit."

*'''Miller''': "That's everyone. Crimson, you can head to the evac point."

''A pelican lands atop the tower.''

*'''Dalton''': "Pelican is on point and waiting, Commander."

*'''Palmer''': "Understood, Dalton. Job's done, Crimson. Come on home."
