With the abduction of Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] by enemy forces, [[Rear Admiral]] [[Serin Osman]], head of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], ordered Lasky to assassinate the doctor before the Covenant could glean any sensitive intel from her. Sarah Palmer was deployed from ''Infinity'' despite Lasky's admonishments to the contrary. As soon as she was out of earshot, Lasky contacted [[Fireteam Majestic]] and asked them to rescue Dr. Halsey without telling them that Palmer was en route. The Spartans returned to the Covenant's base and [[Skirmish at Librarian's Rest|engaged]] the sentries outside while Thorne used his recently-acquired cloaking unit to slip inside. At the same time, Dr. Halsey unlocked the shield set up by Glassman and entered the Librarian's shrine. Inside she was greeted by the [[Librarian]]'s [[mind transfer|imprint]], which presented to her the two pieces of the [[Janus Key]], an artifact that would reveal the location of every piece of Forerunner technology in the galaxy. Once she reappeared outside the shrine, Jul 'Mdama snatched one of the halves away from her, not noticing the second piece in Halsey's hand. At that moment Thorne broke a nearby sentry's back, killing the other with his assault rifle. Halsey tossed the other half of the Janus Key to Thorne. Just as a sword-wielding warrior was about to kill him from behind, it was felled by Palmer. A pair of Promethean Knights appeared to protect 'Mdama and Halsey, but not before Palmer shot the doctor in the left shoulder. The rest of Majestic appeared and fought through the army of Prometheans alongside Palmer. Before they could reach the cornered 'Mdama, a Knight appeared and teleported away with him and the injured doctor.<ref name="key">''Spartan Ops'', [[Key|S109 Key]]</ref> | With the abduction of Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] by enemy forces, [[Rear Admiral]] [[Serin Osman]], head of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], ordered Lasky to assassinate the doctor before the Covenant could glean any sensitive intel from her.

Following Halsey's abduction, ''Infinity'' dispatched all fireteams from both ''Infinity'' itself and three {{Class|Vindication|light battleship}}s to search for her. [[Fireteam Crimson]] was dispatched to "[[Cyclone]]" where Halsey had been routing communications through the area before she was snatched. With the help of beam turrets and [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s under the Librarian's control, Crimson was able to access the Covenant data terminal with the Librarian aiding Roland and Dr. [[Lani Truman]] with the decryption as she prepared to transmit herself to the [[Absolute Record]]. Both the decryption and transmission became stalled at 99%, resulting in Crimson opening the breaker on the power source in the area. The Librarian's imprint was broadcast to the Absolute Record in the form of a massive data stream while Halsey's signal was determined to have bounced to "[[Control]]."<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Key/The Search for Halsey|S109 The Search for Halsey]]</ref> At "Control," where [[Boa Squad]] had been wiped out by the Covenant, Crimson fought off the occupying forces and activated the comm terminals in the area. The Covenant received backup in the form of Prometheans, but Crimson was able to hold them off long enough for Roland to determine that the signal next bounced to "[[Apex]]." Once Crimson got to a safe location, [[Robert Dalton]] commenced an aerial bombardment of "Control," wiping out the remaining Promethean forces.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Key/Clean Up|S109 Clean Up]]</ref> At "Apex," Crimson discovered the area protected by multiple Covenant shields and heavily fortified by infantry troops supported by [[Type-44 Phantom|Phantoms]].

When Crimson arrived at "Lockup," they faced off against fierce Covenant resistance including Ghosts, Wraiths and Hunters. Following the signal being emanated by [[IFF]] tags, Crimson fell into a Covenant trap, but managed to fight their way out of it. Crimson succeeded in clearing the area, but the Covenant and Prometheans sent further reinforcements to "Lockup."<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Key/Revenge|S109 Revenge]]</ref> Crimson managed to eliminate the initial waves of Prometheans and assist [[Poker Squad]] in fighting off more attackers. With Poker Squad safe, Crimson was sent to find [[Hawk Squad]] whose IFF tags were detected nearby. The signal eventually lead Crimson to a [[gravity lift]] the UNSC was never able to activate before leading to the roof of the main structure. On the roof, Hawk Squad's IFF tags were found, revealing that they were being used by Covenant forces as [[Reclaimer]]s in an attempt to activate a Forerunner device. After they couldn't activate it, the [[Sangheili]] killed them in frustration. With the device being where Halsey's signal ended up before bouncing off into the [[Covenant battle network|Covenant battlenet]], Crimson activated the device while fighting off more Covenant and Promethean forces. The Forerunner device proved to be a large map of Requiem which, combined with the map recovered from [[Gek 'Lhar]], was believed by Roland to possibly be the key to freeing ''Infinity'' from Requiem. With the search for Halsey having reached a dead end, Crimson was extracted from the area.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Key/The Hammer|S109 The Hammer]]</ref> | When Crimson arrived at "Lockup," they faced off against fierce Covenant resistance including Ghosts, Wraiths and Hunters.
