Raid on Apex

"Spartans don't leave unfinished business, so it's back to "Apex". Once the area is cleared, Fireteam Lancer is scheduled to babysit."

- Jared Miller

During the Requiem Campaign, Fireteam Crimson launched a raid on the location known as "Apex" in order to capture it for the UNSC.

Prelude
On a previous mission, Fireteam Crimson had been sent to "Apex" to take the area and shut down the Forerunner portal system being used by the Covenant and Prometheans. However, the mission was interrupted by the being invaded by enemy forces. Crimson was forced to abandon the mission and return to the Infinity to aid in the defense of the ship.

Closing the portals
Fireteam Crimson was redeployed by Pelican to "Apex" to take the area. Noticing that the Covenant had portals set up to bring in reinforcements, Spartan Jared Miller ordered Crimson to shut them down. Crimson battled their way through heavy Covenant forces, including Ghosts, as Commander Sarah Palmer came back online. Crimson eventually reached a shield wall blocking their way forward, but Miller located a maintenance panel for it and determined that if Crimson overloaded the fusion coils, it would take down the shield. Following Palmer and Miller's instructions, Crimson brought down the shield, resulting in an explosion from the way it was taken down. Fighting their way forward, Crimson located the first portal and cleared out the Covenant in the area before shutting it down.

With the first portal closed, Miller directed Crimson in the direction of the remaining two portals. Crimson battled their way through more Covenant, including a cloaked Sangheili Zealot before they reached an open area where heavy orbital insertion pods deployed more Covenant reinforcements. Despite the heavy Covenant presence, Crimson eventually managed to reach and close the second portal. Crimson was then able to fight their way to the third portal and shut it down as well, preventing the Covenant from using "Apex's" portals to bring in any more reinforcements.
