Transcript

{Cutscene}

An ariel pan of Apex, where some Covenant Grunts and Jackals are seen being led by an Elite. A Pelican is seen in the sky and the camera zooms in on it as it lands.

  • Miller: "Spartans don't leave unfinished business, so it's back to Apex. Once the area is cleared, Fireteam Lancer is scheduled to babysit."

{Gameplay}

  • Miller: "Looks like the Covies knew we were coming. They've got portals set up for bringing more troops in; lets take them down!"

The player engages some Covenant infantry and two Ghosts.

  • Palmer: "Miller, I'm back. Status?"
  • Miller: "Crimson's on the march commander. Just about to clear out a covenant camp."
  • Miller: "Uh..umm hold on. I've located a maintenance panel for the shields. If Crimson can overload the fusion coils, the whole thing will go down."
  • Palmer: "Do like the man said, Crimson."
  • Miller: "Marking the panel."

The player overloads the panel.

  • Miller: "Heat signature increasing...move Crimson, it's gonna blow!"

The shield explodes and the barrier disappears.

  • Miller: "That did it! Shields down."
  • Miller: "The first of the portals is just through this passage."
  • Palmer: "Eyes sharp, Crimson."

Crimson finds the first portal

  • Miller: "There's the first portal."
  • Palmer: "Shut it down."

First portal is shut down:

  • Palmer: "Good work, Crimson."
  • Miller: "The second and third portals are up ahead."
  • Palmer: "Let's get to it."

Crimson heads through the tunnel in search of the remaining portals. They encounter Covenant resistance along the way, including a cloaked Zealot. They come to an open area.

  • Dalton: "You've got drop pods heading Crimson's way."

Covenant drop pods deploy additional enemy troops into the canyon.

Second portal is shut down:

  • Miller: "Excellent work. Second portal's down!"
  • Palmer: "Nicely done."
  • Miller: "Marking the next terminal's location now."

Third portal is shut down:

  • Miller: "Excellent work. That's the last of the portals!"
  • Palmer: "Then let's clean up these Covenant and-"
  • Dalton: "Dalton to Commander Palmer: You've got a Wraith inbound on Crimson's position."
  • Palmer: "I see it! Thanks, Dalton. Crimson, ready up!"

A Covenant Phantom deploys a Wraith, backed up by infantry.

When the Wraith is destroyed:

  • Palmer: "Nicely done. Miller, we set for the babysitters?"
  • Miller: "Fireteam Lancer is ready to move in as soon as we give them the sign."
  • Palmer: "Crimson, mark a landing area for Lancer."

Crimson head to the designated area. They clear out the remaining Covenant and mark the area.

  • Palmer: "Nice work, Crimson. Take 'em out and prep for extraction."

Crimson moves out, neutralizing any remaining Covenant they find.

  • Miller: "Weird... Commander, did you see that?"
  • Palmer: "I missed it. Educate me."
  • Miller: "There was a blip on the low end Covie frequency. Something turning on and off in a pattern. Then it disappeared."
  • Palmer: "Pattern?"
  • Miller: "Let me check... Morse code! An SOS!"
  • Palmer: "Covies don't use Morse code."
  • Miller: "I'll keep an eye out to see if it happens again."

Crimson reaches the extraction point.

  • Dalton: "This is Dalton. Drop pods inbound."

Covenant drop pods deploy more enemy troops.

After the last of the Covenant are defeated:

  • Miller: "That's the last one. Let's head home. Dalton, Crimson's ride ready?"
  • Dalton: "On station and ready to fly."

Crimson marks the extraction point.

  • DeMarco: (gunfire in the background) "Majestic to Infinity! We've got some overexcited Covies shelling our position! Any chance we can get 'em off our backs?"
  • Palmer: "That can be arranged, DeMarco. Ready for more, Crimson? Let's go give Majestic a hand."
