| ==Prelude== | | ==Prelude== |
| Following some power fluctuations related to the [[slipspace]] [[teleportation grid]] to "[[the Gate]]," the ''Infinity'' Science Team there fled while [[Spartan-IV|Spartan]] [[Jared Miller]], filling in for the busy [[Sarah Palmer]], dispatched [[Fireteam Crimson]] to investigate. As Crimson reactivated science equipment so that the translocation system could be studied, they had to fight off a massive [[Promethean]] attack on "the Gate," eventually stopping their ability to translocate into the area by activating a piece of equipment held at "the Gate." After the Promethean attack was repelled, Doctor [[Leslie Boyd]] at "[[the Refuge (Requiem location)|the Refuge]]" opened a portal for Crimson using the data that had been gathered thanks to Crimson's efforts.<ref name="Miller">''Spartan Ops'', [[Memento Mori/Spartan Miller|S105 Spartan Miller]]</ref>

| Shortly after [[Fireteam Crimson]] arrived at "[[the Refuge (Requiem location)|the Refuge]]," [[Promethean Crawler]]s, [[Promethean Knight|Knights]] and [[Promethean Watcher|Watchers]] began translocating in and attacking. With [[Sarah Palmer]] still out of contact, [[Spartan-IV|Spartan]] [[Jared Miller]] once again took charge of the situation. To Miller's relief, Doctor [[Leslie Boyd]] revealed that he had managed to escape into "the Refuge's" safe room when the attack started and so was alright. With three other scientists at the mercy of the Prometheans, Crimson fought to protect them from attack.{{Ref/Note|The number of scientists that survives depends on the individual player. As a result, any from all three of the scientists to none of them will survive which will be reflected in Boyd's reaction at the end of the Promethean attack.}}

| As Crimson continued to fight off the Prometheans, Boyd reported that Doctor [[Ruiz]] had identified the device that allowed portals to open and was going to shut it down but was interrupted by the attack beginning. Boyd was able to direct Crimson to the device which they accessed, but it failed to stop the Prometheans from translocating in. With Boyd unsure of how Ruiz planned to deactivate it, Miller ordered it destroyed instead. Despite heavy Promethean resistance, Crimson succeeded in destroying the device and shutting down all portals in the area. With the Prometheans unable to translocate in anymore, Crimson cleared out the stragglers and secured "the Refuge." Pleased, Miller dispatched reinforcements ordered Crimson to remain on station until they were sure everything was secure.<ref name="Nothing Can Go Wrong">''Spartan Ops'', [[Memento Mori/Nothing Can Go Wrong|S105 Nothing Can Go Wrong]]</ref>

| As [[UNSC Marine]]s from [[Warbird Company]] arrived, [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] launched a retaliatory attack, angry at the loss of their ability to use portals in the area. As the attack began, [[Robert Dalton]] warned that the Covenant were sending in a {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}}, ''[[Panom's Canticle]]'',{{Ref/Reuse|rundown}} along with the ground forces and [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantoms]]. Due to the cruiser, Dalton couldn't do much for backup against the invading force. Fighting off the Covenant, Crimson discovered the survivors from Warbird trapped behind a Covenant energy shield which boxed the Marines in.{{Ref/Reuse|Everything Has Gone Wrong}}

| With Palmer still out of contact, Miller contacted [[Fireteam Shadow]], going over the head of their handler Spartan [[Carmichael]] and deployed them to [[Operation: VERTICAL UMBRAGE|board the cruiser and destroy it]] by overloading the cruiser's power core. [[Horatio Fry|Shadow Leader]] agreed and told Miller to give then a few minutes to get over to the coordinates. Crimson managed to kill all of the Covenant in the area while [[Roland]] hacked the shield trapping Warbird, allowing Crimson to bring it down with gunfire. Roland then warned Crimson and the Marines about the Covenant special ops team known as the [[Silent Blade]] operating in the area. Despite the danger from the Silent Blade, Crimson and the Marines managed to wipe out the team while Shadow Leader informed Miller that they were ten minutes away from attacking the cruiser.{{Ref/Reuse|Everything Has Gone Wrong}}

| After the Silent Blade was defeated, Doctor Boyd contacted the ''Infinity'' and informed Miller that he was stuck in the safe room because the door wouldn't open. Miller dispatched Crimson to open the door for Boyd, but moments later Covenant reinforcements began arriving. As Crimson fought off the Covenant, Shadow Leader contacted Miller to explain that they were experiencing a lot of resistance aboard the cruiser and needed more time before they could destroy it. Crimson and the Marines of Warbird fought off wave after wave of Covenant deployed from Phantoms and [[heavy orbital insertion pod]]s, including two pairs of [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]]. Finally, as Crimson finished off the Covenant forces in "the Refuge," Fireteam Shadow succeeded in overloading the cruiser's power core, destroying the ship.{{Ref/Reuse|Everything Has Gone Wrong}}

| With the attack repelled, Miller was pleased to learn that [[Fireteam Shadow]] was able to get off the cruiser in time to avoid being killed. As Miller congratulated the Spartans, [[Roland]] brought word that [[Magma Base]] in "[[the Cauldron]]" was [[Assault on Magma Base|under attack]] and needed backup. As Crimson was closest, Miller redeployed them to help at "the Cauldron."{{Ref/Reuse|Everything Has Gone Wrong}}
