Teller Station's crew was exhausted. For years they had carefully stripped away layers of strange metals and bypassed deadly defences to uncover secrets laying hidden beneath this planetoid, and now the scientists were ordered to condense an extensive and long-planned retrieval operation into barely a fortnight.

Scenario Three: Evacuate is the third mission in the campaign of Halo: Fleet Battles.

Scenario

The Office of Naval Intelligence was involved in the unearthing and study of several Forerunner artefact sites in the Epsilon Eridanus system. One of the most promising locations was Site 17, located inside a nondescript planetesimal in the system's Oort cloud. Atop it was Teller Station, a research laboratory dedicated to unearthing its lost secrets. With the declaration of Winter Contingency on Reach, the facilities' defences prepared to withdraw and abandon the station after one last dig. Unfortunately, their frantic efforts awoke senescent Forerunner systems, betraying the site's location to the Fleet of Valiant Prudence.
