Departure/Sacred

Sacred is the fourth chapter of Spartan Ops ' first episode, Departure.

Summary
Infinity science personnel request a Spartan Fireteam to investigate a Forerunner structure located within Requiems jungle. Commander Palmer, impressed from their previous mission, sends Fireteam Crimson to scout out the area. Crimson enters a large atrium inside the structure and encounters no hostiles. The place is seemingly abandoned until Jared Miller, Crimsons mission handler, picks up power fluctuations coming from the back-end of the facility. Crimson proceeds to the power source and encounters Promethean Crawlers guarding a star chart. They are ordered to extract the data from a nearby console. As Miller establishes an up-link to extract the data, Crimson fend off multiple crawlers who translocate near them. With the data pulled, Palmer orders Crimson to pull-back and await for extraction. As Crimson leaves, they run into a group of Promethean Knights. The situation goes critical when the structure's main entrance is closed and more Promethean forces show up. Crimson is forced to defend themselves. Miller finds a way for the Spartans to escape, and points them to a console that controls the facility's door. Crimson activates the controls and are ordered to clear out any remaining hostiles. With the structure secured and the data uploaded, the mission is a success. Spartan Robert Dalton arrives with a Pelican dropship for extraction.
