Summary

Fireteam Crimson takes part in a joint UNSC military operation on Requiem alongside Fireteams Castle, Majestic, Domino, and Ivy. Spartan Jared Miller is personally assigned to Crimson as their mission handler. As the other Spartan teams pursue their own objectives, Crimson is dropped behind enemy lines to assist Marines in neutralizing Covenant forces in the area. In a attempt to stop the Covenant from establishing permanent bases throughout Requiem, Crimson is also given the objective to destroy four power cores acting as short-range wireless transceivers. While completing their objective, Fireteam Crimson fend off multiple enemy reinforcements, including Ghosts and Wraiths. After mopping up whatever Covenant forces are left in the area, Miller sends a Pelican dropship for extraction. Commander Sarah Palmer congratulates them on their mission success, noting that they have completed their objectives before anyone else has.
