Their plan called for Spartan [[Jason Kidman]] to use a flock of seeker drones to blow down the summit's exterior doors so that the team could destroy it from the inside. However, before their plan was enacted, Spartan [[Jared Miller]] redirected the fireteam to assist [[Fireteam Crimson]].{{Ref/Reuse|Umbrage}}{{Ref/Reuse|WPUmbrage}}
