— Roland, Miller and Dalton help Crimson escape.

After being captured during the Requiem Campaign, members of Fireteam Crimson and Icebreaker squad staged an escape from the Covenant holding facility at "Lockup."

Prelude

After Fireteam Crimson succeeded in defending Magma Base in "the Cauldron" from Covenant forces, Roland detected Spartan Gabriel Thorne's IFF transponder nearby. However, while Crimson found the transponder, Thorne was already gone though there was signs of battle. Roland was able to determine which way Thorne had been taken and Spartan Jared Miller ordered Crimson to follow Roland's directions and chase after Thorne.

Roland and Crimson were able to follow Thorne's signal to the "Quarry" which was occupied by heavy Covenant forces. Searching the "Quarry," Crimson discovered that Thorne's signal had disappeared without a trace and fought off a heavy Covenant attack. As the Spartans were about to be extracted by Pelican 653, they were ambushed by heavy Covenant forces, including a CRS-class light cruiser and captured. Rather than killing Crimson, the Covenant instead transported them to their holding facility at "Lockup."
