In [[2558|February 2558]], Robert Dalton was aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} when it returned to [[Requiem]] to establish research facilities on the Forerunner construct, and eliminate any opposition from the occupying [[Promethean]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]] forces.

Later in the campaign, Dalton assisted Palmer, [[Jared Miller]], and Fireteam Crimson during the hunt for [[Sangheili]] [[terrorism|terrorist]] [[Parg Vol]]—an associate of [[Jul 'Mdama]]. While monitoring drone footage, Dalton discovered that Vol had accumulated a considerable number of stolen UNSC assets. Dalton requested Palmer to have Crimson recover the assets. After Crimson succeeded, Dalton supplied them with weapons, vehicles, and eventually extracted the fireteam.{{Ref/Reuse|vip}} When [[Galileo Base]] became under siege from Covenant forces, Dalton attempted to activate the facility's defense system remotely, but the Covenant had jammed the wireless up-link from ''Infinity''. Instead, Crimson had to activate the defenses manually.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Catherine/Galileo|S1E3 ''Galileo'']]</ref> Later, at [[Two Giants]], an considerable amount of Covenant forces made their way for Crimson as Dalton prepared an "emergency dispatch" on ''Infinity''.

As multiple Phantoms made their way to Crimson, Dalton had a strike group of several [[F-41 Broadsword]]s destroy the dropships and later he sent a Pelican to finally pick up Crimson.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Catherine/Hunting Trip|S1E3 ''Hunting Trip'']]</ref>

When Promethean forces boarded ''Infinity'', Crimson lost communications with Dalton.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Invasion (Spartan Ops)/Backup|S1E7 ''Backup'']]</ref> On one of Crimson's later missions, Dalton warned the Spartans of incoming [[Covenant drop pod]]s and a Wraith, and eventually provided them with extraction.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Expendable/Unfinished Business|S1E8 ''Unfinished Business'']]</ref> When it was discovered that the Covenant was using a captured [[UNSC Army|Army]] Pelican to listen to UNSC communications, Crimson cleared the surrounding Covenant forces and Dalton ordered an orbital strike to destroy the Pelican.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Expendable/Crystal Ball|S1E8 ''Crystal Ball'']]</ref> After Crimson completed the objective on a later operation, a massive amount of Promethean forces arrived.

Further in the operation, he had Crimson clear an area surrounded by Covenant forces so he could drop off new Scorpions.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Key/Science Mountain|S1E9 ''Science Mountain'']]</ref> One of the pilots operating under Dalton later discovered a weak signal of half a dozen Marine [[IFF]] tags.

When Jul 'Mdama sent Requiem towards the heart of its [[Epoloch system|sun]], Crimson and Majestic worked to free ''Infinity'' from the planet to allow the ship to escape the system. While on their mission, Crimson attempted to use a [[Za'zayara-pattern Harvester|Harvester]] to uncover a Forerunner artifact. However, energy barriers were blocking it. Miller had Dalton call in air support to destroy the energy barriers after Crimson destroyed nearby AA guns. He later evacuated the fireteam from the area.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Exodus (Spartan Ops)/Artifact|S1E10 ''Artifact'']]</ref> At Miller's request, Dalton [[Orbital bombardment|orbitally bombarded]] a Covenant outpost for Crimson on another mission.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Exodus (Spartan Ops)/In One Way|S1E10 ''In One Way'']]</ref> As Crimson continued through the [[Apex]], Dalton warned them to look for Spartan survivors in the area. Although he was able to provide them intel on Covenant aircraft, he was unable to evacuate the Spartans.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Exodus (Spartan Ops)/Seize the Power|S1E10 ''Seize the Power'']]</ref> On Crimson's final operation on Requiem, Dalton informed the fireteam that they were the last humans on the planet. Eventually, Crimson and Majestic both completed their objectives and freed the ''Infinity''. Dalton had both fireteams evacuated and returned to ''Infinity'' and the ship was able to exit the system before Requiem caused its sun to [[supernova]].<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Exodus (Spartan Ops)/One Last Time|S1E10 ''One Last Time'']]</ref>
