Transcript

An Elite stands in the tunnel, directing Grunts toward Cauldron Base.

• Roland: "Hello, Crimson! Roland here. How you been? Well, enough chit chat. There's a UNSC base under attack and they need your help. This really is your whole life, isn't it?"

• Miller: "Roland, get off the line. Crimson, you're coming in hot. Help the Marines defend the outpost. I'll see what I can line up by way of support."

• Marine: "Hell yeah! Backup!"

Crimson heads through the first tunnel and encounters a squad of Covenant.

• Marine: "Where'd they come from?"

• Miller: "Crimson, these guys aren't your main objective. There's a forward base up the road that needs your help."

If the player takes too long getting to the base:

• Miller: "Hey, it's real nice of you to kill every Covenant you see, but the Marines at the Forward base need your help. NOW."

Crimson approaches the base.

• Marine: "The Covies are hellbent on taking out our generators. We lose those, we lose the base."

• Miller: "There it is, Crimson. Defend the generators from the Covenant attack."

Health meters appear on the generators.

---

From this point on, if the Player loses both of the generators:

• Miller: "Dammit! Both of the generators are offline!"

---

Another wave approaches.

• Miller: "Uh oh. Phantom inbound!"

Crimson fights off the second wave.

• Miller: "Crimson, I see some turrets our Marine friends have yet to activate. If you power them up, your lives should be considerably easier."

Crimson fights off several more waves.

• Miller: "Crimson, there's heavy enemy movement nearby. Get ready."

A Phantom deposits a pair of Hunters. This is followed by a wave of Elites and Grunts.

• Miller: "Watch out! Hostiles inbound!"

Crimson fends off the last of the attackers.

• Roland: "Spartan Miller, emergency."

• Miller: "What isn't an emergency today, Roland?"

• Roland: "Spartan Thorne's IFF tag is within Crimson's operational area."

• Miller: "Thorne... from Majestic?"

• Roland: "Yes, that Thorne."

• Miller: "What's he doing there?"

• Roland: "No idea. The rest of Majestic are still aboard Infinity. I'm sending the waypoint to Crimson now."

A waypoint appears near the cliff edge. Crimson reaches it, but only finds and collects Thorne's IFF transponder.

• Miller: "There's no Spartans here, Roland."

• Roland: "No, but there are signs of a battle. One moment. Analysing. These tracks predate Crimson's arrival. I have a direction for movement out of this area, but it's faint."

• Miler: "Crimson, follow Roland's directions. I'll try to get Commander Palmer on the line.

Crimson reaches the final waypoint.
