==Summary== | |||
Following Professor [[Ellen Anders]]' transponder signal, [[Red Team|Spartan Red Team]] crashes their [[Red Team's Warthog|Warthog]] about a hundred yards from the signal, near several [[Flood colony|Flood colonies]] and a [[Proto-Gravemind]]. After the crash, Captain [[James Cutter]] contacts Sergeant [[John Forge]] at a nearby [[firebase]] and orders him to rendezvous with Red Team and to find Anders. After building up his forces, Forge leads an assault to link up with Red Team, only for the transponder signal to stop broadcasting as it was being duplicated by the Proto-Gravemind to trick the UNSC forces. Together, Red Team and Forge's forces kill the Proto-Gravemind. | |||

*At the start of the level, when Red Team is riding their Warthog, one of the Spartans (most likely Jerome-092) is shooting a sniper rifle, but once the Warthog flips, all three Spartans have their normal weapons (Alice - turret, Douglas - rocket launcher, and Jerome - Spartan Laser). | *At the start of the level, when Red Team is riding their Warthog, one of the Spartans (most likely Jerome-092) is shooting a sniper rifle, but once the Warthog flips, all three Spartans have their normal weapons (Alice - turret, Douglas - rocket launcher, and Jerome - Spartan Laser). | ||
