Artifact (Spartan Ops)/Pelican Down: Difference between revisions

While en route to Gagarin team's last known location, the [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] carrying [[Fireteam Crimson]] is shot down by [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] anti-air defenses. [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan]] [[Jared Miller]] comes online and reveals that there are several anti-air turrets hidden near Crimson's crash site. In order to avoid any more casualties, [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Palmer]] orders [[Robert Dalton]] to redirect all ''[[UNSC Infinity|Infinity]]'' air-traffic away from the area. Miller then discovers that Crimson has survived the crash when their [[Identification friend or foe|IFF]] tags register on-screen. Crimson is then contacted by [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Palmer]] to locate and destroy the anti-aircraft guns that shot them down. While doing so, large [[Covenant drop pod]]s, including several individual [[Covenant drop pod#Single-occupant pod|insertion pods]] carrying [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealots]] and [[Sangheili Warrior|Warriors]], reinforce the local Covenant garrison, who are swiftly taken out by the Spartans. After disabling both anti-aircraft batteries, Crimson eliminates the rest of the remaining Covenant in the area. Palmer, with the help of Miller, discovers a nearby [[Forerunner]] transit-system Crimson can use to locate Science Team Gagarin. With the area secured, Fireteam Crimson continue on with their previous mission.
