==Summary== | ==Summary== | ||
Having learned about a [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] intel center from the data extracted in the previous mission, Palmer sends Crimson to [[Raid on the Warrens|infiltrate the facility]]. Murphy's [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] drops Crimson off at the "[[Warrens]]." After dispatching a small Covenant camp outside the facility, the Spartans attempt to access the main doors. The controls fail to respond, so Miller sends them through an alternate route. | |||
Crimson gets inside the facility and clears out the Covenant inside, including a group of cloaked Elites. Their actions trigger an attack by Promethean forces. After dealing with the Prometheans, Crimson locates a computer terminal which Miller hacks. They learn about [[Harvester (location)|a Covenant archaeological dig]] in progress and about [[Cyclone|a Covenant supply depot]] located nearby. Palmer sends a message to [[Fireteam Switchback]] instructing them to disrupt the dig. | |||
Having completed their mission, Crimson fights their way out of the facility and clears a landing zone for Murphy's Phantom. Palmer then orders Crimson to head to the Covenant supply depot. | |||

''Crimson’s Phantom comes in for a landing.'' | |||
*'''[[Lieutenant]] [[TJ Murphy]]''': “Dropping you at the edge of the base, Crimson. See you on the other side.” | |||
'''{Gameplay}''' | |||

''Crimson assassinates the sleeping Grunts.'' | |||
*'''Spartan [[Jared Miller]]''': "They didn't even know what hit them. Good work, Crimson." | |||
''Once the remaining Covenant are alerted to Crimson's presence:'' | |||

''The Spartans eliminate the remaining Covenant, including a [[Zealot]].'' | |||
*'''Miller''': “Excellent work. Head for the door, Crimson.” | |||

*'''Miller''': “Commander Palmer, the whole structure is lighting up.” | |||
''More Prometheans appear.'' | |||

*'''Miller''': “Extracting intelligence, Commander.” | |||
*'''Palmer''': “Excellent. Run it through translation and give me the highlights. Crimson, time to catch your ride out of there.” | |||
