Biography
Requiem campaign
In February 2558, Robert Dalton was aboard the UNSC Infinity when it returned to Requiem to establish research facilities on the Forerunner construct, and eliminate any opposition from the occupying Promethean and Covenant forces. During Fireteam Crimson's first mission on Requiem at the Quarry, Dalton provided the Spartans with recon support and evacuated them with a D79-TC Pelican.[3] Dalton then provided the fireteam with three resupply canisters and controlled the bombing runs on Covenant forces from Infinity.[4] During an operation at Requiem's Fortress, Dalton had Crimson clear out Promethean forces with supplies he provided in order to clear a landing zone.[5] Dalton later worked with Fireteam Castle to eliminate Covenant air defenses to allow Crimson to evacuate the area.[6] At some point, Dalton was contacted by Doctor Morgan Rivera. At her request, Dalton patched her through to Commander Sarah Palmer.[7] Shortly after, Palmer ordered Dalton to redirect all Infinity air-traffic away from Covenant anti-air weapons. Dalton assisted Crimson with disabling the AA guns by providing them with ammunition.[8]
Later in the campaign, Dalton assisted Palmer, Jared Miller, and Fireteam Crimson during the hunt for Sangheili terrorist Parg Vol—associate of Jul 'Mdama. While monitoring drone footage, Dalton discovered that Vol had accumulated a considerable number of stolen UNSC assets. Palmer was requested by Dalton to have Crimson recover the assets. After Crimson succeeded, Dalton supplied them with weapons, vehicles, and eventually extracted the fireteam.[1] When Galileo Base became under siege from Covenant forces, Dalton attempted to activate the facility's defense system remotely, but the Covenant had jammed the wireless up-link from Infinity. Instead, Crimson had to activate the defenses manually.[9] Later, at Two Giants, an considerable amount of Covenant forces made their way for Crimson as Dalton prepared an "emergency dispatch" on Infinity. Later, a Covenant CRS-class light cruiser made its way over Crimson's location. Palmer had Dalton send a Pelican to evacuate Crimson, despite Dalton warning of the dropship's possible destruction.[10] After Vol was killed by Crimson, Dalton aided in their evacuation. After Dalton supplied Crimson with weapons, Palmer ordered him to arrange an airstrike to help the Spartans. As multiple Phantoms made their way to Crimson, Dalton had a strike group of several F-41 Broadswords destroy the dropships and later he sent a Pelican to finally pick up Crimson.[11]
