==Summary== | ==Summary== | ||
[[Fireteam Crimson]] arrives at "[[the Cauldron]]" and fights its way to [[Magma Base]]. With the aid of the Marines stationed there and a pair of stationary auto-turrets, Crimson is able to defend the base from numerous waves of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] attackers. Once the coast is clear, [[Roland]] contacts Crimson's handler [[Jared Miller]], informing him that Spartan [[Gabriel Thorne]]'s [[Identification friend or foe|IFF]] tag has been detected in the vicinity. Crimson finds only Thorne's IFF transmitter and signs of a struggle, but Roland finds enough evidence to extrapolate the path Thorne took out of the area. | |||

'' | '''{Cutscene}''' | ||
''An Elite stands in the tunnel, directing Grunts towards [[Magma Base]].'' | |||
*'''Roland (COM)''': "Hello, Crimson! Roland here. How you been? Well, enough chit chat. There's a UNSC base under attack and they need your help. This really is your whole life, isn't it?" | |||
*'''Miller (COM)''': "Roland, get off the line. Crimson, you're coming in hot. Help the Marines defend the outpost. I'll see what I can line up by way of support." | |||
'''{Gameplay}''' | |||
*'''Marine''': "Hell yeah! Backup!" | |||
*'''Miller (COM)''': "Grab a Warthog and let's go." | |||
''Crimson and the Marines board some nearby Warthogs and drive them through the first tunnel. They soon encounter a squad of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]].'' | |||
*'''Private [[Rick Spaulding]]''': "Where'd they come from?" | |||
*'''Miller (COM)''': "Crimson, these guys aren't your main objective. There's a forward base up the road that needs your help." | |||
''If the player takes too long getting to the base:'' | |||
*'''Miller (COM)''': "Hey, it's real nice of you to kill every Covenant you see, but the Marines at the forward base need your help, NOW." | |||
''Crimson approaches the base. A Phantom drops off a squad of heavily armed Covenant troops.'' | |||
*'''Corporal Steven McCord''': "The Covies are hellbent on taking out our generators. We lose those, we lose the base." | |||
*'''Miller (COM)''': "There it is, Crimson. Defend the generators from the Covenant attack." | |||
''Health meters appear on the generators.'' | |||
---- | |||
''From this point on, if the player loses one generator:'' | |||
*'''Miller (COM)''': "Crimson, you've lost a generator!" | |||
---- | |||
''If the player loses both generators:'' | |||
*'''Miller (COM)''': "Dammit! Both of the generators are offline!" | |||
''Level ends.'' | |||
---- | |||
''Another wave approaches.'' | |||
*'''Miller (COM)''': "Uh oh. Phantom inbound!" | |||
''Crimson fights off the second wave.'' | |||
*'''Miller (COM)''': "Crimson, I see some turrets our Marine friends have yet to activate. If you power them up, your lives should be considerably easier." | |||
*'''Miller (COM)''': "Get ready. More bad guys heading your way." | |||
''Crimson fights off several more waves.'' | |||
*'''Miller (COM)''': "Crimson, there's heavy enemy movement nearby. Get ready." | |||
''A Phantom deposits a pair of Hunters. This is followed by a wave of Elites and Grunts.'' | |||
*'''Miller (COM)''': "Watch out! Hostiles inbound!" | |||
''or'' | |||
*'''Miller (COM)''': "Hostiles inbound, Crimson!" | |||
''More attackers appear:'' | |||
*'''Miller (COM)''': "Crimson, there's heavy enemy movement nearby! Get ready." | |||
''Crimson fends off the last of the attackers.'' | |||
*'''Roland (COM)''': "Spartan Miller, emergency." | |||
*'''Miller (COM)''': "What isn't an emergency today, Roland?" | |||
*'''Roland (COM)''': "Spartan Thorne's IFF tag is within Crimson's operational area." | |||
*'''Miller (COM)''': "Thorne... from Majestic?" | |||
*'''Roland (COM)''': "Yes, that Thorne." | |||
*'''Miller (COM)''': "What's he doing there?" | |||
*'''Roland (COM)''': "No idea. The rest of Majestic are still aboard ''Infinity''. I'm sending the waypoint to Crimson now." | |||
''A waypoint appears near the cliff edge. Crimson reaches it, but only finds and collects Thorne's IFF transponder.'' | |||
*'''Miller (COM)''': "There's no Spartans here, Roland." | |||
*'''Roland (COM)''': "No, but there are signs of a battle. One moment. Analyzing. These tracks predate Crimson's arrival. I have a direction for movement out of this area, but it's faint." | |||
*'''Miler (COM)''': "Crimson, follow Roland's directions. I'll try to get Commander Palmer on the line." | |||
''Crimson reaches the final waypoint.'' | |||
'''CHAPTER COMPLETE''' | |||
''Level ends.'' | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*When playing locally with two or fewer players or co-op online, the chapter features four [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Armor Defense System|Mantises]]; two at the beginning and two behind the generators. When playing in matchmaking there are instead two [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|LAAG Warthogs]] and two [[M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle|Gauss Warthogs]]. | |||
**Note that this only exclusive for Xbox users while for the players who own a PC version of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', the player will only be able to use Mantises and can play co-op online while matchmaking was disabled. | |||
*Completing the chapter without losing a generator on [[Heroic]] or harder will unlock the [[What Power Outage?]] achievement. | |||
