Eventually the squad makes it through the station and out of the city, however, Buck suddenly realized where [[Captain (Navy)|Capt.]] [[Veronica Dare]] might be and told Crespo to go back. Buck has Crespo hide the Phantom in a safe location while he rescues Dare. When Dare's [[M312 Elephant HRV#Halo 3: ODST|Olifant]] was damaged by a Scarab they had to find a new location for Crespo to pick them up. After safely evacuating the city, Buck told Crespo he would have a co-pilot, [[Vergil]], which Crespo was reluctant to have in the cockpit with him. He was last seen a month later on an [[ONI orbital facility]], in an interrogation room with the rest of his squad and Vergil, as [[Sergeant Major|Sgt.]] [[Avery Junior Johnson]] began to interrogate the Huragok.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''' campaign level, ''[[Coastal Highway]]''</ref>

===SPARTAN-IV Program===
===Post-war era and defection===
In [[2555]], Crespo, now a [[SPARTAN-IV]], along with Buck and Agu, participated in a mission at an unknown [[United Rebel Front]] facility on the moon [[Talitsa]] to recover the defected [[Huragok]], [[Quick to Adjust]], and his human handler, [[Sadie Endesha]].<ref>[https://store.kobobooks.com/en-CA/ebook/halo-new-blood ''Halo: New Blood'' preview on Kobo]</ref>
Crespo continued to serve in Alpha-Nine throughout the years following the war, and went on to join the [[SPARTAN-IV program]] alongside Buck and Agu. As the team was sent on missions against human [[Insurrectionist]]s, Crespo grew disillusioned with the UNSC, feeling that he had not signed up to kill other humans. Eventually, he became secretly affiliated with the [[United Rebel Front]]. In [[2555]], Crespo, Buck and Agu, participated in a mission at a United Rebel Front facility on the moon [[Talitsa]] to recover the ONI [[Huragok]], [[Quick to Adjust]], and his human handler, [[Sadie Endesha]]. On the way to the rebel base, they were surrounded and captured by rebel forces, whereupon Crespo's treachery was revealed to his teammates. While being taken to the URF facility, however, the captive Spartans managed to fight off the rebels. Buck personally faced Crespo in hand-to-hand combat and eventually knocked him out, while Agu rescued Endesha and the Huragok from the base. Crespo was subsequently incarcerated.<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', Chapter 17-18</ref>
