{ | '''{Cutscene}''' | ||
''The camera pans across the cliffs of Sniper Alley. A pair of Grunts stand idle. A Pelican flies over the canyon.'' | |||
*'''Palmer''': "Crimson, we're on the hunt for Jul 'Mdama. This hingehead freak's been killing good soldiers on Reqiuem, including the Spartans of Castle team. Today... we're taking the first step towards getting revenge." | |||
''As the Pelican descends into the canyon, the grunts turn toward the camera and flee in panic.'' | |||
'''{Gameplay}''' | |||
*'''Palmer''': "Infinity Science has finally figured out why Covenant comm traffic is so low on Requiem. Turns out the Covies are channeling most of their comms through a Forerunner subnet. So with the help of the geeks, we're going to tap their party line and listen in. Miller, show Crimson where to go." | |||
''A waypoint appears up at the structure.'' | |||
*'''Miller''': "Waypoint's up." | |||
''Crimson enters a clearing and are fired upon by a turret.'' | |||
*'''Miller''': "Crimson, keep an eye on those turrets." | |||
*'''Palmer''': "Miller, we need to discuss your fascination with telling Crimson what's shooting at them all the time." | |||
''As the player nears the waypoint.'' | |||
*'''Palmer''': "Miller? Status?" | |||
*'''Miller''': "Working on it, Commander." | |||
*'''Dalton''': "Commander Palmer, be advised that Covenant drop pods are inbound on multiple Fireteam positions!" | |||
*'''Miller''': "Got a few coming down near Crimson right now!" | |||
''Several drop pods deposit Covenant reinforcements.'' | |||
*'''Palmer''': "Dalton, why didn't we see these sooner?" | |||
*'''Dalton''': "Unclear, Commander. Working on it right now." | |||
''Crimson kills most of the reinforcements.'' | |||
*'''Miller''': "Area's not secure yet. Marking your last few targets." | |||
''Markers appear on the last few Covenant. Crimson kills them.'' | |||
*'''Palmer''': "Well done." | |||
*'''Miller''': "Infinity Science says this is the spot where we can activate the comm tap." | |||
*'''Palmer''': "You see anything, Crimson?" | |||
*'''Miller''': "There's where science believes is the switch." | |||
''A waypoint appears atop the structure.'' | |||
*'''Palmer''': "Do it. Let's see if the eggheads know what they're talking about." | |||
''The player activates the switch.'' | |||
*'''Miller''': "Crimson has activated some pylons, Commander. If Science Team's right, they'll serve to eavesdrop on the Covies." | |||
*'''Palmer''': "Get up there, Crimson. I want to hear what the Covenant have to say." | |||
*'''Miller''': "Crimson, I'm sending you targets to activate. Science Team believes they'll allow us to listen freely." | |||
''A waypoint appears at the very top level of the structure. At the same time a drop pod descends and deploys Covenant reinforcements.'' | |||
''The player hits the switch. An Elite is heard speaking on the comm in Sangheili. It sounds angry, possibly insulting.'' | |||
*'''Palmer''': "Yeah. Right. Miller, send the comm traffic over to Intel. Crimson, fall back to the extraction point. Good work down there." | |||
''Crimson heads back the way they came, only to find their path blocked as drop pods deploy reinforcements, including a pair of Hunters.'' | |||
*'''Miller''': "Crimson! There's a Phantom heading your way." | |||
*'''Palmer''': "Dalton! What the hell? You're usually on it with the airspace policing." | |||
*'''Dalton''': "Commander, Covenant aircraft are just popping in and out. I don't know what's going on." | |||
*'''Palmer''': "Well, figure it out!" | |||
*'''Dalton''': "Commander, I'm running diagnostics as fast as I can, and they're reading all green lights. Best guess is the Covies have a jamming system on one of the ships." | |||
*'''Palmer''': "Commander Palmer to all Fireteams: Be advised that Covenant aircraft may be hiding in plain sight. Don't rely solely on your gear down there. Use your eyes, people." | |||
''As Crimson reaches the end of the structure two more drop pods descend from the sky. The player kills these Covenant and proceeds back toward the canyon.'' | |||
*'''Miller''': "Don't relax yet. You've got more hostiles headed your way." | |||
''Another drop pod and Phantom descend into the canyon. Crimson kills most of the Covenant.'' | |||
*'''Miller''': "Area's not secure yet. Marking your last few targets." | |||
''Markers appear on the last few Covenant. Crimson kills them all.'' | |||
*'''Palmer''': "Great job, Crimson." | |||
*'''Miller''': "Pelican inbound, Crimson." | |||
*'''Dalton''': "Commander! I think I've sourced the origin point for the Covenant jammer. It's actually pretty close to Crimson's extraction point." | |||
*'''Palmer''': "Nice, Dalton." | |||
