Crimson arrives at [[the Cauldron]] and fights its way to [[Magma Base | [[Fireteam Crimson]] arrives at "[[the Cauldron]]" and fights its way to [[Magma Base]]. With the aid of the Marines stationed there and a pair of stationary auto-turrets, Crimson is able to defend the base from numerous waves of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] attackers. Once the coast is clear, [[Roland]] contacts Crimson's handler [[Jared Miller]], informing him that Spartan [[Gabriel Thorne]]'s [[Identification friend or foe|IFF]] tag has been detected in the vicinity. Crimson finds only Thorne's IFF transmitter and signs of a struggle, but Roland finds enough evidence to extrapolate the path Thorne took out of the area. | ||
