In February [[2558]], [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction]] sent archaeological teams in this area. They were after a Forerunner artifact, and thus brought a [[Type-58 Ultra-Heavy Site Excavator/Embedded|Harvester]] to excavate it. The {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} ordered [[SPARTAN-IV Program|SPARTAN-IV]] [[Fireteam Switchback]] to uncover the Covenant projects there. However, Switchback was overwhelmed by enemies: the leader [[Cara Costabile]] was killed, while the team was captured and later imprisoned at [[Warrens]]. ''Infinity'' sent [[TJ Murphy|Lieutenant Murphy]]'s [[Type-44 Troop Carrier|Phantom]] and [[Fireteam Crimson]] to investigate. Three [[F-41 Broadsword|Broadswords]] were also sent to survey the area. Crimson only found Switchback's IFF tags, but the Spartans themselves were nowhere to be seen. After fighting several [[Promethean]]s, Crimson discovered the enormous vehicle that the Covenant had brought. The Covenant were killed and the Harvester's consoles were severely damaged by Crimson.<ref>'''Halo 4''', Spartan Ops Episode 6 Chapter 5 ''[[S1/Scattered/Switchback|Switchback]]''</ref>

The Covenant later retook the area. They captured [[human]] scientists in order to repair the Harvester, but they were unsuccessful as the power supply had been destroyed. Later, Fireteam Crimson was once again dispatched to the "Harvester" location. They needed to find one of the [[Requiem translocation artifacts|artifacts]] that could free ''Infinity'' from the shield world's orbit. However the Spartans quickly realized that they were the ones who had previously interrupted the Covenant excavation. They tried to enter the Harvester to activate it, but its entrance was closed. Murphy's [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] was called in reinforcement, but three Forerunner anti-aircraft guns threatened him. [[Roland (AI)|Roland]] managed to hack the guns' shields so Crimson could take them out. The Pelican was then able to approach the Harvester and destroyed its shield door. Crimson entered the vehicle and killed its crew. The Spartans then proceeded to free the scientists, but were unable to activate the Harvester as it was too damaged.<ref>'''Halo 4''', Spartan Ops Episode 10 Chapter 1 ''[[S1/Exodus/Artifact|Artifact]]''</ref> They went to [[Apex]] to retrieve a [[Deployment Platform Type-56 Ground Support/Ultra Heavy|Lich]]'s power supply.<ref>'''Halo 4''', Spartan Ops Episode 10 Chapter 3 ''[[S1/Exodus/Seize the Power|Seize the Power]]''</ref>

Fireteam Crimson then returned to the Harvester. They made their way to the control room and replaced the power supply. They activated the vehicle's plasma drill and the beam created a hole in the rocky wall. Crimson entered the tunnel and discovered a Forerunner structure hidden in the mountain. They made their way through waves of Prometheans and managed to reach the artifact, which they deactivated. The Spartans then proceeded to return outside, but Requiem's unstable gravity made their movements more complicated. Near the entrance, they fought teams of Covenant that were sent to reactivate the artifact. After killing them, Crimson returned to the surface and met with Murphy's Pelican. They made their way through the inner surface's wreckages falling from the sky and managed to escape the planet with ''Infinity'' moments before the collision with the sun.<ref>'''Halo 4''', Spartan Ops Episode 10 Chapter 5 ''[[S1/Exodus/One Last Time|One Last Time]]''</ref>
