The two Pelicans deployed Crimson, Kodiak and two [[M12B Warthog|Warthogs]] at "Cyclone," but Kodiak's Pelican was shot down moments later. Miller quickly ordered Murphy to withdraw until Crimson called for pickup which he did. Fighting their way through the Covenant forces in the area, Crimson and Kodiak managed to reach the first artillery piece, but found it too well shielded for their fire to penetrate. Noticing an energy conduit nearby that heated up whenever the gun fired, Miller and Palmer had Crimson target that instead. From the gun's reaction to the attack, Miller realized that without the conduits to cool off the gun, it would overload. Crimson destroyed the first conduit, causing the gun to begin to destabilize. Crimson destroyed the second conduit, causing the gun to overload and explode when it fired again, killing any remaining Covenant too close to its base. | The two Pelicans deployed Crimson, Kodiak and two [[M12B Warthog|Warthogs]] at "Cyclone," but Kodiak's Pelican was shot down moments later.

With the first gun destroyed, Crimson moved onto the second with the Covenant falling back to defend it. Crimson managed to fight through the Covenant forces and destroy the conduits for the second gun, resulting in its destruction as well. Palmer reassured DeMarco that they only needed to destroy one more gun as the remaining Covenant began massing at the final artillery. As Crimson made their way to the final gun, Miller noted that just a second after he directed Crimson to it, the Covenant had moved to it as well as if they had known where Crimson was going. Convinced that it wasn't a coincidence, Miller promised to keep an eye on it while [[ | With the first gun destroyed, Crimson moved onto the second with the Covenant falling back to defend it.
