Roland detected a higher than normal number of Covenant at the other end of the "Quarry," suggesting that there was something worth guarding in that location such as a captured Spartan. Crimson fought their way to the end of the "Quarry" which was heavily guarded by Covenant forces including Wraiths and Ghosts. Despite the heavy resistance, Crimson managed to clear the area, but only found a collection of stolen UNSC gear, vehicles and weapons. However, there was no sign of Thorne and Roland had lost the trail. With the search-and-rescue mission a failure, Miller called upon Spartan [[Robert Dalton]] to send in a [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] to extract Crimson, but was warned that it would take some time. | Roland detected a higher than normal number of Covenant at the other end of the "Quarry," suggesting that there was something worth guarding in that location such as a captured Spartan.

The Covenant started sending in massive waves of troops via [[heavy orbital insertion pod]]s and Phantoms to attack Crimson. With the help of the stolen UNSC gear, Crimson managed to repel each successive wave despite being heavily outnumbered. However, several [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]] and Wraiths were deployed in the area and at Miller's request, Dalton dropped [[ordnance pod]]s containing [[M6 Spartan Laser|Spartan Lasers]]. With the heavy weapons, Crimson managed to eliminate the Hunters and Wraiths, seemingly ending the Covenant attack. | The Covenant started sending in massive waves of troops via [[heavy orbital insertion pod]]s and Phantoms to attack Crimson.

With the Covenant gone, Dalton reported that he finally had the [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] Miller had requested to extract [[Fireteam Crimson]]. Miller directed both Crimson and the Pelican to the top of the nearby butte for the extraction and Crimson made their way back to the top of the butte. | With the Covenant gone, Dalton reported that he finally had the [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] Miller had requested to extract [[Fireteam Crimson]].

As Crimson awaited the approaching ''[[Pelican 653]]'', an [[orbital insertion pod]] suddenly crashed through the dropship, destroying it and killing pilot [[Ryan Frank]]. [[Roland]] warned of numerous approaching enemy forces as multiple [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]], at least five [[Type-44 Phantom|Phantoms]] and a {{Class|CRS|light cruiser}} surrounded Fireteam Crimson in a surprise ambush. | As Crimson awaited the approaching ''[[Pelican 653]]'', an [[orbital insertion pod]] suddenly crashed through the dropship, destroying it and killing pilot [[Ryan Frank]].

Miller and Dalton eventually managed to locate [[Fireteam Crimson]] at "[[Lockup]]" and launched a diversionary bombardment that freed the Spartans of their restraints. Fireteam Crimson subsequently rescued [[Icebreaker squad]] and together they stole a [[Type-44 Phantom|Phantom]] to [[Escape from Lockup|escape]] from Covenant custody. | Miller and Dalton eventually managed to locate [[Fireteam Crimson]] at "[[Lockup]]" and launched a diversionary bombardment that freed the Spartans of their restraints.
