==Summary==
{{Expand-Section}}
While en route to Gagarin Team's last known location, the [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] carrying [[Fireteam Crimson]] is shot down by [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] anti-air defenses. [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan]] [[Jared Miller]] comes online and reveals that there are several anti-air turrets hidden near Crimson's crash site. In order to avoid any more casualties, [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Palmer]] orders [[Robert Dalton]] to redirect all ''[[UNSC Infinity|Infinity]]'' air-traffic away from the area. Miller then discovers that Crimson has survived the crash when their [[Identification friend or foe|IFF]] tags register on-screen. Crimson is then contacted by [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Palmer]] to locate and destroy the anti-aircraft guns that shot them down. While doing so, large [[Covenant drop pod]]s, including several individual [[Covenant drop pod#Single-occupant pod|insertion pods]] carrying [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealots]] and [[Sangheili Warrior|Warriors]], reinforce the local Covenant garrison, who are swiftly taken out by the Spartans. After disabling both anti-aircraft batteries, Crimson eliminates the rest of the remaining Covenant in the area. Palmer, with the help of Miller, discovers a nearby [[Forerunner]] transit-system Crimson can use to locate Science Team Gagarin. With the area secured, Fireteam Crimson continue on with their previous mission.

'''{Cutscene}'''
 
''The camera pans over a box canyon. At the far end smoke rises into the air. A [[Kig-Yar Sniper]] stands on a rocky outcropping. It screeches silently and points at something offscreen. A [[Kig-Yar Heavy]] jumps off the boulder to pursue the target.''
 
*'''Palmer''': "What the hell brought them down?"
 
*'''Miller''': "AA guns in the area."
 
*'''Palmer''': "Sitrep, Miller! Is anyone alive down there?"
 
'''{Gameplay}'''
 
*'''Miller''': "All Crimson IFF tags are active. They're in one piece, Commander Palmer. But they've got bad guys inbound!"
 
*'''Palmer''': "Hold back all other air traffic near Crimson's coordinates until they can take down those guns. Gagarin will have to wait."
 
*'''Dalton''': "Consider it done."
 
''As the player approaches the path through the rocks a drop pod descends and deposits more Covenant troops. As the player turns a corner several snipers open fire.''
 
*'''Miller''': "Sniper!"
 
''or''
 
*'''Miller''': "Sniper fire!"
 
''or''
 
*'''Miller''': "Commander! Snipers!"
 
*'''Palmer''': "I think Crimson has noticed, Miller!"
 
or
 
*'''Palmer''': "Sniper! Keep your heads down, Crimson!"
 
''As the player pushes on.''
 
*'''Palmer''': "Drop pods coming your way!"
 
''or''
 
*'''Palmer''': "Looks like you've got drop pods headed your way!"
 
''or''
 
*'''Miller''': "Crimson, drop pods in the sky!"
 
''The player kills those Covenant. An individual drop pod descends and deposits an Elite wielding a sword and using active camo. Once the player kills it:''
 
*'''Palmer''': "Miller, paint the target for Crimson."
 
*'''Miller''': "Closest gun to their position is lit."
 
*'''Palmer''': "Get moving, Crimson. Take down those AA guns."
 
''As the player approaches the ramp either Palmer or Miller will issue one of the above warnings about snipers.''
 
*'''Palmer''': "Dalton, Crimson could use some resupply."
 
*'''Dalton''': "You got it, Commander."
 
''or''
 
*'''Palmer''': "Send Crimson some resupply, Dalton."
 
*'''Dalton''': "Already on its way, Commander."
 
''A sniper rifle drops beside the ramp.''
 
*'''Miller''': "There we go!"
 
''The player reaches the first gun.''
 
*'''Miller''': "Crimson has reached the first gun, Commander."
 
*'''Palmer''': "Shut it down, Crimson."
 
''The player deactivates the gun.''
 
*'''Palmer''': "That's one gun down. Move on to the next one, Crimson."
 
''Two drop pods land and deposit heavily-armed Elites.''
 
*'''Miller''': "Commander, I've got a lock on a second gun near Crimson's position."
 
*'''Palmer''': "Paint it, Miller."
 
''A waypoint appears on the player's HUD.''
 
*'''Miller''': "Done."
 
''The player moves forward. An enemy Phantom appears.''
 
*'''Miller''': "More Covies inbound on Crimson's position."
 
''As the player draws close.''
 
*'''Palmer''': "There's your second AA gun, Crimson."
 
''The player deactivates it.''
 
*'''Miller''': "Target destroyed, Commander."
 
*'''Palmer''': "Excellent. Dalton, the air corridor is open again."
 
*'''Dalton''': "Thanks, Commander."
 
*'''Palmer''': "Crimson, let's get you moving in Gagarin's direction."
 
''A Phantom lands and deploys more Covenant.''
 
*'''Miller''': "More Covenant inbound, Crimson. Not that I want to belabor the obvious, mind you."
 
*'''Palmer''': "Miller, your attention to detail's one of the few things I truly like about you. Never stop."
 
''More Phantoms and drop pods descend and unload additional enemy troops.''
 
''After the player kills about half of the Covenant reinforcements.''
 
*'''Palmer''': "Halfway done. Clean out the stragglers, Crimson. No reason to leave anybody behind."
 
''Markers appear on the remaining Covenant. The player kills them all.''
 
*'''Miller''': "Crimson's in the clear, Commander. Still no word from Gagarin team."
 
*'''Palmer''': "They're also reasonably close to a transit tunnel if I'm reading this map right."
 
*'''Miller''': "Yes, Commander. They could hoof it from here to the Science Team's last known locale pretty easily."
 
*'''Palmer''': "There it is then, Crimson. Off you go."
 
''The player enters the tunnel.''

''Level ends.''

==Trivia==
This chapter's name and subject may be a reference to Mark Bowden's historical biography ''[[Wikipedia:Black Hawk Down (book)|Black Hawk Down]]'', or more likely the [[Wikipedia:Black Hawk Down (film)|film adaptation]] by Ridley Scott. One of ''Black Hawk Down''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s main threads tells the story of Delta Force personnel trapped behind enemy lines after their helicopter is shot down during the [[Wikipedia:Battle of Mogadishu (1993)|Battle of Mogadishu, Somalia]]. This is similar to the chapter's plot, in which Fireteam Crimson must hold out for extraction their transport is shot down.
