Quarry: Difference between revisions

After entering Requiem in [[2557]], the Covenant took over this location and blocked the end of the canyon with a shield supported by three generators. The {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} deployed a [[M510 Mammoth|Mammoth]] staffed with [[Thomas Lasky|Commander Lasky]], [[John-117]], [[UNSC Marines]] and [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan-IVs]] to disable a [[gravity well]] and destroy the [[particle cannon]]s protecting it. The Mammoth reached the Quarry and John-117 took down the generators and killed Covenant forces. Moving through the canyon, John-117 used a [[H-295 Forward Observer Module|Target Designator]] to enable the Mammoth to destroy another cannon. However Covenant forces led by a [[Type-56 Lich|Lich]] supplanted by [[Type-44 Phantom|Phantoms]] attacked the Mammoth. John-117 and the Spartan-IVs fought off the Covenant, with the Spartan-II destroying the Lich. However, John-117 had to progress through the rest of the region without the Mammoth's support.<ref name="Reclaimer">'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]]''</ref>

Covenant forces reclaimed the Quarry, and several months later, in [[2558#February|2558]], [[Fireteam Crimson]] was deployed to the location to defeat groups of Covenant foes and disable more Covenant power cores. Crimson cleared the area of Covenant engaging [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraiths]] and [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghosts]], and destroyed the power cores. The [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] sent by [[Robert Dalton]] then picked up Crimson.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''',  [[S1/Departure|S1E1 ''Departure'']]</ref> Covenant led by [[Parg Vol]] re-took the position. Crimson was again deployed to neutralize Vol and defeat the Covenant. While the Spartans were successful in beating back squads of Covenant, Vol still managed to escape. Crimson then discovered a stock of UNSC assets stolen by the Covenant, including several [[M808 Main Battle Tank|Scorpion tanks]] and used it against Covenant reinforcements to complete the mission.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Catherine|S1E3 ''Catherine'']]</ref> Later, [[Roland (AI)|Roland]] and [[Jared Miller|Miller]] tracked [[Gabriel Thorne]]'s energy signature to this area after he was captured by [[Sangheili Storm]]. The area was once again full of Covenant forces, and Crimson was sent in to look for Thorne. Though the Quarry was cleared of hostiles, Thorne was nowhere to be found. The evacuation of Crimson failed as the Pelican piloted by [[Ryan Frank]] was suddenly destroyed.
