In [[2558]] Switchback was assigned to investigate a Covenant dig site.

Soon after, Switchback reported the Covenant were using a [[Za'zayara-pattern Harvester|Harvester]] and they were encountering heavy resistance and were in need of reinforcements. [[Fireteam Crimson]] was closest to their location and was sent in response.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Scattered/Search and Destroy|S1E06 Search and Destroy]]</ref> When Crimson [[Raid on Harvester|arrived]], they only found Switchback's blank IFF tags and heavy Covenant/Promethean resistance, though Switchback had succeeded in disabling the Harvester. Crimson proceeded to ensure the Harvester was permanently disabled before leaving the area.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Scattered/Switchback|S1E06 Switchback]]</ref> | ||
Spartan Miller later detected an SOS being broadcast on a Covenant frequency as Crimson [[Raid on Apex|took]] the area known as "[[Apex]]."<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Expendable/Unfinished Business|S1E08 Unfinished Business]]</ref> Subsequently, while Crimson was on [[Assault on the Warrens|a mission]] in the "[[Warrens]]" with [[Fireteam Lancer]], Miller detected the strange signal again. The SOS led Crimson to the imprisoned Switchback whom they rescued. When questioned on Costabile's status Gale informed Commander Palmer that she had been killed by Covenant forces. With the help of Crimson and Lancer, the four surviving members of Switchback escaped their prison and were extracted by Lt. [[TJ Murphy]] in a Pelican along with Crimson.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Expendable/Lancer|S1E08 Lancer]]</ref> | |||
