[[Fireteam Crimson]] arrive to [[Parg Vol|Parg Vol's]] location codenamed "[[The Gate]]". He is a top a large [[Forerunner]] structure flanked by his subordinates. [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan]] [[Jared Miller]] brings the operation online as well as hacking into the [[Covenant remnant|Covenant]] [[Covenant battle network|battle network]]. Through the Covenant's COM channels, [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Palmer]] is able to affirm the [[Sangheili|Sangheili's]] presence in the area, ordering Crimson to eliminate Parg Vol and all of his forces. The Spartans meet stiff resistance from the camp, engaging a variety of [[Sangheili Storm|Sangheili]], [[Unggoy Storm|Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar Storm|Kig-Yar]] Storm units. [[Type-52 Directed Energy Support Weapon|Heavy weapon emplacements]], [[Shade]] turrets and [[Deployable lookout tower|lookout towers]] also impede the Spartans progress. As Crimson makes their way up the structure, Spartan [[Robert Dalton]] informs Palmer of incoming hostile reinforcements, to which she gleefully acknowledges.  

With almost all of the Covenant force eliminated around him, the Elite himself is eventually gunned down by one of the members of Fireteam Crimson. Miller responds by officially confirming the kill. Palmer congratulates Crimson for their work. Miller also picks up several inbound Covenant threats and announces it to Fireteam Crimson. Immediately after saying so, several [[Heavy orbital insertion pod|drop pods]] and individual [[Orbital insertion pod|insertion pods]] touch down around the Forerunner structure. Covenant troops disembark and storm the area, but are quickly beaten by Crimson. As more enemy reinforcements arrive, several [[Type-44 Troop Carrier|Phantom]] dropships provide heavy support. Forcing Crimson to be more cautious. Several [[Hunter]]s also join the battle to take down the Spartans.

Miller then picks up a large Covenant force closing in on Crimsons location. Palmer notices, and requests Dalton to send in an ordnance drop consisting of heavy weapons. Palmer also orders an airstrike for Crimson in order to alleviate them of enemy combatants. Crimson continues to defend their location, destroying a couple of Phantom dropships in the process. As more Phantoms arrive, Dalton's airstrike leaves the ''[[UNSC Infinity]]''. As the Spartans quickly take shelter within the Forerunner structure, a flight of [[F-41 Broadsword]]s fly over and destroy all the Phantoms in the area with missiles. With the area clear, Dalton sends in a [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] dropship for Crimsons extraction.

''The camera pans over the Gate. The Covenant have set up a [[deployable lookout tower]] and numerous [[stationary shield generator]]s.''

If the player doesn't heed Dalton's advice and take cover during the airstrike, they can in fact be killed by stray missiles.
