Like Majestic, [[Fireteam Crimson]] were deployed on a similar mission to the site known as "[[Quarry]]", dropping behind enemy lines to assist Marine forces. The fireteam were tasked with destroying Covenant power cores, and were given the option of using UNSC vehicles including [[M12R Rocket Warthog|Rocket]] and [[M12G1 Gauss Warthog|Gauss]]-equipped [[M12B Warthog]]s, or captured Covenant | Like Majestic, [[Fireteam Crimson]] were deployed on a similar mission to the site known as "[[Quarry]]", dropping behind enemy lines to assist Marine forces.
