Robert Dalton: Difference between revisions

Later in the campaign, Dalton assisted Palmer, [[Jared Miller]], and Fireteam Crimson during the hunt for [[Sangheili]] [[terrorism|terrorist]] [[Parg Vol]]—an associate of [[Jul 'Mdama]]. While monitoring drone footage, Dalton discovered that Vol had accumulated a considerable number of stolen UNSC assets. Dalton requested Palmer to have Crimson recover the assets. After Crimson succeeded, Dalton supplied them with weapons, vehicles, and eventually extracted the fireteam.{{Ref/Reuse|vip}} When [[Galileo Base]] became under siege from Covenant forces, Dalton attempted to activate the facility's defense system remotely, but the Covenant had jammed the wireless up-link from ''Infinity''. Instead, Crimson had to activate the defenses manually.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Catherine/Galileo|S1E3 ''Galileo'']]</ref> Later, at [[Two Giants]], an considerable amount of Covenant forces made their way for Crimson as Dalton prepared an "emergency dispatch" on ''Infinity''. Later, a Covenant {{Class|CRS|light cruiser}} made its way over Crimson's location. Palmer had Dalton send a Pelican to evacuate Crimson, despite Dalton warning of the [[dropship]]'s possible destruction.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Catherine/Shootout in Valhalla|S1E3 ''Shootout in Valhalla'']]</ref> Dalton later aided in Crimson's evacuation after the team eliminated Parg Vol. After Dalton supplied Crimson with weapons, Palmer ordered him to arrange an airstrike to help the Spartans. As multiple Phantoms made their way to Crimson, Dalton had a strike group of several [[F-41 Broadsword]]s destroy the dropships and later he sent a Pelican to finally pick up Crimson.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Catherine/Hunting Trip|S1E3 ''Hunting Trip'']]</ref>

====Later operations====

When Promethean forces boarded ''Infinity'', Crimson lost communications with Dalton.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Invasion (Spartan Ops)/Backup|S1E7 ''Backup'']]</ref> On one of Crimson's later missions, Dalton warned the Spartans of incoming [[Covenant drop pod]]s and a Wraith, and eventually provided them with extraction.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Expendable/Unfinished Business|S1E8 ''Unfinished Business'']]</ref> When it was discovered that the Covenant was using a captured [[UNSC Army|Army]] Pelican to listen to UNSC communications, Crimson cleared the surrounding Covenant forces and Dalton ordered an orbital strike to destroy the Pelican.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Expendable/Crystal Ball|S1E8 ''Crystal Ball'']]</ref> After Crimson completed the objective on a later operation, a massive amount of Promethean forces arrived. Dalton had the fireteam evacuated before he ordered in an airstrike to wipe out all Prometheans in the area.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Key/Clean Up|S1E9 ''Clean Up'']]</ref> While Crimson was investigating one of [[Catherine Halsey|Doctor Catherine Halsey]]'s captured transmissions, Dalton had two Pelicans each drop off an [[M808 Scorpion]] tank for the Spartans. He later had the Pelicans offer air support for the Spartans and resupplied them with Scorpions. Further in the operation, he had Crimson clear an area surrounded by Covenant forces so he could drop off new Scorpions.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Key/Science Mountain|S1E9 ''Science Mountain'']]</ref> One of the pilots operating under Dalton later discovered a weak signal of half a dozen Marine [[IFF]] tags. Dalton had Crimson investigate the signal. However, the IFF signal turned out to be a trap and Crimson was attacked by Covenant forces. Before Dalton could evacuate Crimson, he discovered a large amount of Covenant air forces making their way to Crimson's location.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Key/Revenge|S1E9 ''Revenge'']]</ref>
