[[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Fireteam]]s [[Fireteam Crimson|Crimson]] and [[Fireteam Majestic|Majestic]] are sent north of the [[UNSC]]'s area of operations in [[Requiem]] in order to shut down [[Forerunner]] power generators. Both teams are sent to their individual locations to complete their objectives. [[Jared Miller]] is once again assigned as Crimson's mission handler while [[Sarah Palmer]] acts as mission commander. Upon insertion, both Crimson and Majestic have their long-range communications jammed by Forerunner jamming devices. After deactivating their respective devices, their mission resumes. The mission marks the first time Crimson engaged [[Promethean]] forces. The area is quickly swarmed with [[Promethean Crawler|Crawlers]] and [[Promethean Watcher|Watchers]] as Crimson fights to disable the arrays powering the Forerunner structure. Instigated by Palmer, the mission quickly turns into a competition by both fireteams as they race to complete their mission objectives. Majestic temporarily takes the lead, but are quickly surpassed, and eventually beaten, by Crimson as they swiftly shut down the power generator. As Fireteam Crimson clears out the remaining Promethean forces, [[Robert Dalton]] arrives in a [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] dropship for Crimson's extraction.

*'''Miller''': "Crimson, looks like your first contact with the Prometheans. These are Crawlers, fast and mean, but pretty easy to deal with. Watch out for...um, the Watchers, actually."

*'''Miller''': "Crimson, that Watcher's bringing a turret online!"

*'''Miller''': "Crimson, watch out! Another turret coming online."

*'''Palmer''': "Crimson's way ahead of you, DeMarco."

 

*'''DeMarco''': "We'll catch up, Commander."

*'''Palmer''': "Nice work down there, Crimson. Maybe next time, eh Majestic?"

When Dalton replies to Commander Palmer that supplies are on the way, the subtitles list the word ''their'' when ''its'' is spoken.
