[[Roland]] tracked Thorne to the "[[Quarry]]," but he had been carried out of surveillance range by the [[Sangheili]] and he could only give a general direction. As Spartan [[Commander]] [[Sarah Palmer]] remained out of contact, Spartan [[Jared Miller]], filling in for her, ordered Roland to try to contact Palmer as she needed to know what was going on and instructed [[Fireteam Crimson]] to try to find and rescue Thorne. | [[Roland]] tracked Thorne to the "[[Quarry]]," but he had been carried out of surveillance range by the [[Sangheili]] and he could only give a general direction.

As Crimson investigated, they were attacked by [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] forces, including [[Kig-Yar Sniper]]s, turrets, [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghosts]] and [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraiths]]. Crimson discovered that Thorne was not at the first location and cleared out the remaining Covenant in the area, including reinforcements dropped by [[Type-44 Phantom|Phantoms]]. | ||
Roland detected a higher than normal number of Covenant at the other end of the "Quarry," suggesting that there was something worth guarding in that location such as a captured Spartan. Crimson fought their way to the end of the "Quarry" which was heavily guarded by Covenant forces including Wraiths and Ghosts. Despite the heavy resistance, Crimson managed to clear the area, but only found a collection of stolen UNSC gear, vehicles and weapons. However, there was no sign of Thorne and Roland had lost the trail. With the search-and-rescue mission a failure, Miller called upon Spartan [[Robert Dalton]] to send in a [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] to extract Crimson, but was warned that it would take some time. | Roland detected a higher than normal number of Covenant at the other end of the "Quarry," suggesting that there was something worth guarding in that location such as a captured Spartan.
