===Rescuing Mountain Squad===
===Rescuing Mountain Squad===
Mountain Squad engaged with Covenant forces. [[Fireteam Crimson]] was deployed by Spartan Palmer in the middle of the fighting, though contact with the ''Infinity'' was lost soon after. The forces of Fireteam Crimson and Mountain Squad joined together to fight back. They eventually pushed back and destroyed the jammer blocking communications.<ref name="spartanmountain">'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', [[Catherine/Spartan Mountain|S103 ''Spartan Mountain'']]</ref>

===Studying the area===
===Studying the area===
At the request of ''Infinity'' Science, Fireteam Crimson was tasked with studying the towers in the canyon. This involved bringing down the shields of those towers while intermittently fighting Covenant forces. With the shields knocked down, [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] was brought on station to study the towers. Crimson activated the tower at the doctor's request. This generated a vast amount of data for examination. Immediately after this, the Covenant returned and were eliminated. Crimson was ordered to return to Mountain Squad's Pelican.{{Ref/Reuse|spartanmountain}}
At the request of ''Infinity'' Science, Fireteam Crimson was tasked with studying the [[beacon tower|towers]] in the canyon. This involved bringing down the shields of those towers while intermittently fighting Covenant forces. With the shields knocked out, [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] was brought on station to study the towers and Crimson activated the tower at the doctor's request. This caused the tower to fire an energy pulse into the sky and generated a vast amount of data for examination. Immediately after this, the Covenant returned and were eliminated. Crimson was ordered to return to Mountain Squad's Pelican.{{Ref/Reuse|spartanmountain}}


===Defending the canyon===
===Defending the canyon===
After regrouping at Mountain's Pelican, further Covenant forces mobilized onto the canyon. Previous Marine forces had established several [[M3063 Deployable Turret|turrets]] in the canyon. Crimson began to active them while fighting off the Covenant including [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraiths]]. In a lull during combat, several Pelicans offloaded Mantises onto the field. The Covenant began to launch a large air assault on Crimson with a {{Class|CRS|light cruiser}} moving in to attack. Spartan Palmer requested to extract Crimson. Crimson continued to hold ground as the cruiser moved into position over the battlefield. ''[[Infinity Sub-Vessel 3]]'' arrived on station and destroyed the cruiser, allowing Crimson to escape.{{Ref/Reuse|shootoutvalhalla}}

Crimson began to active them while fighting off the Covenant including [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraiths]]. In a lull during combat, several Pelicans offloaded Mantises onto the field. The Covenant began to launch a large air assault on Crimson with a {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}} moving in to attack. Spartan Palmer requested to extract Crimson, but it was too dangerous with the cruiser nearby. Crimson continued to hold their ground as the cruiser moved into position over the battlefield. ''[[Infinity Sub-Vessel 3]]'' arrived on station and destroyed the cruiser, allowing Crimson to escape.{{Ref/Reuse|shootoutvalhalla}}
