Picking up from the [[ | Picking up from the [[Catherine/Spartan Mountain|previous chapter]], [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan]] [[Jared Miller]] informs [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Palmer]] that a large [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] force is closing in on [[Fireteam Crimson|Crimson's]] location. Automated defense turrets retrieved from Mountain Squad's crashed Pelican are activated by the Spartans throughout the [[Two Giants|canyon]] in order to shore up their defenses. As several large Covenant [[Heavy orbital insertion pod|drop pods]] and [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] dropships arrive, carrying an assortment of Covenant [[Storm]] units, Palmer requests from Miller a proper assessment of all enemy forces in the area. Miller immediately responds by saying they are considerable amounts of Covenant headed towards the Spartans location. Palmer contacts [[Robert Dalton]], asking if her "emergency dispatch" is ready for departure. Dalton acknowledges and says it is leaving the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. | ||
The situation turns grim as more Phantom dropships arrive, including one carrying a [[ | The situation turns grim as more Phantom dropships arrive, including one carrying a [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]]. Fireteam Crimson do their best to defend the area by keeping close to their turrets, making use of captured Covenant equipment, and using a variety of [[UNSC]] weaponry provided from the crashed Pelican. Palmer then informs the team that her "emergency dispatch" has arrived. A lull in the fighting has her bring in four [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] transports, each ferrying a [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Armor Defense System|Mantis]] Armored Defense System. As Crimson make use of the powered exoskeletons, multiple waves of [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshee]] fighters, supported by Phantom gunships, arrive in an attempt to re-take the canyon. As the fighting continues, Dalton comes online and informs Palmer that a Covenant {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}} has been spotted within the vicinity. Miller confirms the report, saying it is closing in on Crimson's location. | ||
Commander Palmer then orders a Pelican for Crimson's extraction. Dalton, however, tells her that it would be a suicide mission up against the Covenant cruiser. As more Covenant reinforcements arrive, Miller tells Palmer an idea of his to assist Crimson. Crimson continues to defend their position as the Covenant relentlessly send in waves of reinforcements at them.

Dalton, however, tells her that it would be a suicide mission up against the Covenant cruiser. As more Covenant reinforcements arrive, Miller tells Palmer an idea of his to assist Crimson. Crimson continues to defend their position as the Covenant relentlessly send in waves of reinforcements at them. As the Covenant cruiser comes within range of the canyon, Palmer has ''[[Infinity Sub-Vessel 3]]'' fire at the unsuspecting ship. The cruiser is destroyed in a series of explosions as it falls apart towards [[Requiem]]'s surface. Crimson clears out the remaining Covenant and a Pelican is sent for their extraction. As they wait, Miller receives solid information relating to [[Parg Vol]]'s whereabouts. Palmer, enthusiastic, has Crimson depart for Parg Vol's location instead of returning to the ''Infinity'' to hunt the [[Sangheili]] down. | ||
