At the request of Doctor [[Henry Glassman]] and [[Spartan-IV|Spartan]] [[Gabriel Thorne]], [[Fireteam Crimson]] were deployed back to "[[Control]]" to confirm Glassman's understanding of the map stolen off of [[Gek 'Lhar]]. Crimson battled through heavy [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] defenses as Glassman directed them to what he believed the map was showing to be a hub for energy flowing through the Forerunner structure. Crimson managed to clear out the Covenant defenders and reached the hub. Spartan [[Jared Miller]] ran a survey through Crimson's armor's sensors, ultimately confirming that Glassman was correct in his interpretation of what the map indicated the hub to be. | At the request of Doctor [[Henry Glassman]] and [[Spartan-IV|Spartan]] [[Gabriel Thorne]], [[Fireteam Crimson]] were deployed back to "[[Control]]" to confirm Glassman's understanding of the map stolen off of [[Gek 'Lhar]].

Despite the confirmation, Glassman was unsatisfied as he felt they needed more confirmation and had Thorne direct them to another location indicated on the stolen map. However, Covenant [[ | Despite the confirmation, Glassman was unsatisfied as he felt they needed more confirmation and had Thorne direct them to another location indicated on the stolen map. However, Covenant [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantoms]] deployed reinforcements that Crimson had to fight through before they could continue their mission for Glassman. After clearing out the area, Crimson helped Glassman scan the location indicated by his map, causing two golden beams of light to shoot into the sky from the Forerunner structure. Glassman was amazed by the results, noting that despite how advanced they were, their own mapping systems had nothing on the Forerunner map. Glassman explained to [[Commander]] [[Sarah Palmer]] that he was making sure he could read the map correctly because, if they were lucky, he could use it to help free the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} from [[Requiem]].{{Ref/Reuse|Glassman}} | ||

With more Covenant reinforcements approaching, Glassman directed Crimson to a location that he believed would give them some respite and then to another location that activated Forerunner [[Z-510 focus turret|beam turrets]] to help fight off the Covenant. Glassman then directed Crimson to activate more locations that deployed supply caches containing heavy Forerunner weapons. With the heavy weapons, Crimson fended off more Covenant forces deployed by Phantoms and [[heavy orbital insertion pod]]s. | With more Covenant reinforcements approaching, Glassman directed Crimson to a location that he believed would give them some respite and then to another location that activated Forerunner [[Z-510 focus turret|beam turrets]] to help fight off the Covenant.

Glassman next directed Crimson to activate Forerunner [[Z-8250 heavy artillery|anti-aircraft guns]] to help defend their position. Pleased with the success so far, Palmer decided to cut the mission short which Glassman agreed with. Crimson then fought off a wave of Covenant delivered by a drop pod before three Phantoms carrying even more reinforcements were destroyed by the anti-aircraft guns they had activated. As Crimson prepared to deal with the enemies dropped by the Phantoms before their destruction, more Phantoms arrived carrying [[ | Glassman next directed Crimson to activate Forerunner [[Z-8250 heavy artillery|anti-aircraft guns]] to help defend their position.

As Crimson prepared to deal with the enemies dropped by the Phantoms before their destruction, more Phantoms arrived carrying [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraiths]] which they managed to deploy before being destroyed. With the help of the defenses that they had activated around the area and the Forerunner weapons, Crimson managed to eliminate all of the Covenant. With the Covenant gone, Crimson were extracted by [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] to the ''Infinity''.{{Ref/Reuse|Glassman}} | ||
