As Crimson emerged outside again, they came under attack by Covenant reinforcements from a Phantom and Miller determined that there were two other Covenant comm relays nearby that they could get access to as well. Palmer ordered Miller to direct Crimson to the other relays and they unlocked the second one for Roland after fighting through the Covenant defenders. Roland uncovered information on detailed Covenant troop movements from the second relay and Crimson fought their way to the third. However, as Roland planted the worm, the Covenant placed the system on lockdown and sent in further reinforcements. | As Crimson emerged outside again, they came under attack by Covenant reinforcements from a Phantom and Miller determined that there were two other Covenant comm relays nearby that they could get access to as well.

Once the reinforcements were eliminated, Roland was able to determine that the lockdown was controlled by two Covenant terminals and destroying them had a ninety percent chance of breaking the lockdown. Palmer ordered Crimson to destroy the terminals as more reinforcements were deployed by [[heavy orbital insertion pod]]s. Though Murphy attempted to keep the Covenant Phantoms off of Crimson, one was able to slip through and attack. Despite heavy resistance, Crimson was able to destroy the terminals and Roland succeeded in planting the last worm. Roland reported to Palmer that the tap was active on all three Covenant channels and he was hot and cold running information. | Once the reinforcements were eliminated, Roland was able to determine that the lockdown was controlled by two Covenant terminals and destroying them had a ninety percent chance of breaking the lockdown.

With the Covenant comm channels tapped into, Palmer ordered Crimson to clear an area for Murphy to land the stolen Phantom. However, the Covenant launched a massive counterattack including two [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] and four [[Hunter]]s. Despite being heavily outnumbered, Crimson managed to use the stolen UNSC gear stored in "[[Control]]" to help fend off the Covenant forces. Ultimatly, Crimson was able to clear out the attacking Covenant, ending the battle. | With the Covenant comm channels tapped into, Palmer ordered Crimson to clear an area for Murphy to land the stolen Phantom.

With the Covenant forces gone, Murphy was able to extract Crimson in the stolen Phantom. Palmer apologized for being out of contact for so long and promised to get back in touch with them soon after reviewing the data pulled from the Covenant systems. | With the Covenant forces gone, Murphy was able to extract Crimson in the stolen Phantom.
