==Summary==
==Summary==
Having learned about a Covenant intel center from the data extracted in the previous mission, Palmer sends Crimson to infiltrate the facility. Murphy's 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.
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 clear 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 a Covenant archaeological dig in progress. They also learn about a Covenant supply depot nearby. Palmer sends a message to Fireteam Switchback instructing them to disrupt the dig.  
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.
