==Summary==
==Summary==
{{Expand-Section}}
[[Fireteam Crimson]] is deployed to the "[[Quarry]]," where they believe the Covenant may have taken missing Spartan [[Gabriel Thorne]]. Upon arrival the team [[Ambush at the Quarry|faces heavy resistance]]. The team searches two locations in the Quarry, but Thorne isn't there. After fending off a large wave of Hunters and Wraiths, Fireteam Crimson waits for evac at their LZ. As ''[[Pelican 653]]'' draws close it is suddenly hit and destroyed by a Covenant [[orbital insertion pod]]. Crimson and their handlers realize too late that they have stumbled into a trap when they are suddenly swarmed by [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]], [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantoms]] and a {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}}.

All dialogue is spoken through the COM.


'''{Cutscene}'''
''A Pelican swoops into the Quarry.''
*'''[[Jared Miller|Miller]]''': "Roland, any more info on [[Gabriel Thorne|Thorne's]] whereabouts?"
*'''[[Roland]]''': "The Elites carried him out of surveillance range. Can't do much more than give you a general direction right now."
''The Pelican settles into an LZ.''
*'''Miller''': "Keep looking. And try to get Commander Palmer on the line. She needs to know what's happening. Crimson, this is straight search-and-rescue. Get in there, and see what you can find."
'''{Gameplay}'''
*'''Roland''': "I'm showing two likely locations where Spartan Thorne might have been taken."
*'''Miller''': "Marking a waypoint."
''Crimson approaches the first waypoint.''
*'''Roland''': "Sniper!"
*'''Miller''': "Light him up, Roland!"
''A neutralize marker appears on the sniper.''
''Crimson reaches the first waypoint.''
*'''Miller''': "I'm not seeing Thorne anywhere, Roland."
*'''Roland''': "Agreed."
''Crimson kills most of the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] in the area.''
*'''Miller''': "Just a few stragglers, Crimson."
*'''Miller''':  "Oh boy... Crimson, Phantom inbound."
''Numerous [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantoms]] land and deposit reinforcements. Crimson kills most of them.''
*'''Miller''': "Still have a few Covies to clear out, Crimson.
*'''Miller''': "Power source nearby. Might be worth getting a look at it?"
''A waypoint appears at the far end of the Quarry.''
*'''Roland''': "There is a higher than average number of enemy forces in this area."
*'''Miller''': "Might mean there's something worth guarding."
*'''Roland''': "Like a Spartan."
*'''Miller''': "Yup."
*'''Miller''': "Eyes open, Crimson. More Covies in your area."
''Crimson reaches the waypoint.''
*'''Roland''': "Lot of UNSC gear here."
*'''Miller''': "Grrr... but where's Thorne?"
*'''Roland''': "I've confirmed that Spartan Thorne isn't here."
*'''Miller''': "Then where the hell is he, Roland?"
*'''Roland''': "I've got no idea."
*'''Miller''': "All right. Dalton, I need a ride home for Crimson."
*'''[[Robert Dalton|Dalton]]''': "Gonna be a few on that request."
*'''Miller''': "Drop pods incoming!"
''Crimson fights off the first wave.''
*'''Miller''': "Watch out! Hostiles inbound!"
''Crimson whittles down the second wave.''
*'''Miller''': "Drop pods coming down near your position, Crimson!"
''Yet another wave.''
*'''Miller''': "Uh oh. Phantom inbound!"
''Spartan kills most of the wave.''
*'''Miller''': "Just a few Covies left. I'll get markers on them."
''Crimson kills them all.''
*'''Miller''': "Don't relax yet, you've got more hostiles headed your way."
*'''Miller''': "If we have to wait on a ride, how about about some guns?"
*'''Dalton''': "That, I can do."
''Numerous ordnance pods drop from the sky, each containing a [[M6 Spartan Laser|Spartan Laser]]. Another wave of Phantoms deploys a wave of Hunters.''
----
''If the player has activated the RvB Easter egg.''
*'''Sarge''': "I know you boys wanted a life, but all I've got are these guns. I suppose you COULD assemble some sort of primitive, gun-like vehicle out of the parts. But who knows what the insurance rates would be on that bad boy..."
*'''Sarge''': "Dammit, Grif, you dropped our cargo! Now how are we supposed to play [[Grifball]]!"
*'''Grif''': "I think the bigger question here is why a military vehicle was sent into battle with sports equipment."
''Instead of Spartan Lasers, the ammo drops are [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|Gravity Hammers]]. Rather than "Ammo" the markers read "Sports Equipment".''
----
''Crimson kills most of the Hunters.''
*'''Miller''': "Area's not secure yet. Marking your last few targets."
''Crimson clears the area.''
*'''Dalton''': "Finally got your bird, Miller. Where ya want it?"
''A waypoint appears at the top of the butte.''
*'''Miller''': "Put her down right here. Should be safe."
''Crimson reaches the waypoint.''
*'''[[Airman]] [[Ryan Frank]]''': "This is Pelican Six Five Three. I have visual on Fireteam Crimson. Touching down at LZ."
''[[Pelican 653|A Pelican]] flies low across the Quarry. As it approaches the butte it is suddenly destroyed when a falling [[Orbital insertion pod|Covenant drop pod]] slams into it from above.''
*'''Miller''': "Oh God! What was that?!"
'''{Cutscene}'''
''Multiple Phantoms and Banshees converge on Crimson.''
*'''Roland''': "Spartan Miller! This is pretty bad! Incoming enemy forces! Numerous."
*'''Miller''': "Define numerous, Roland."
*'''Roland''': "A lot! Maybe all of them?"
*'''Miller''': "Ohhh boy. Crimson, brace yourselves. This is gonna get ugly."
''Multiple Banshees swoop over the butte as at least five Phantoms and a {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}} close in.''
'''EPISODE COMPLETE'''
''Level ends.''
==Trivia==
The fifth [[Red vs. Blue]] [[Roses vs Violets|Easter egg]] is found on this level. It is the only Easter egg to affect gameplay, as the ammo drops will be Gravity Hammers (Grifball equipment) rather than Spartan Lasers.
