"Crimson, Infinity’s been boarded. We’re under attack! I’m canceling your op and bringing you home! Marking the quickest way out of that mess for you, Crimson."
— Jared Miller[1]

The Skirmish at Apex was a skirmish in the Requiem Campaign between Fireteam Crimson aided by a stolen Phantom piloted by Lieutenant TJ Murphy and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant at "Apex" due to an aborted mission.

Prelude

While searching for the missing Spartan Gabriel Thorne, Fireteam Crimson was ambushed at the "Quarry" and captured.[2] Taken to "Lockup," Crimson managed to escape with the help of Jared Miller and Robert Dalton and rescued Icebreaker squad who were held captive at the facility as well. Lieutenant TJ Murphy of Icebreaker squad successfully managed to hijack a Covenant Phantom which he and Crimson used to escape from "Lockup."[3]

Following their escape, Crimson's Phantom, mistaken by the Covenant for one of their own, was ordered to land at "Control." Crimson was able to infiltrate the facility and access three Covenant comm relays, allowing Roland to implant computer worms into them in order to access the data. Crimson then made their escape after eliminating the Covenant reinforcements.[4] In the "Warrens," Crimson accessed a central intel center revealed by the data extracted at "Control." The information in the intel center revealed a Covenant archeological dig that Fireteam Switchback was sent to investigate while Fireteam Crimson was deployed to investigate the supply depot.[5] However, while Crimson succeeded in destroying three plasma stockpiles at "Cyclone," Switchback experienced heavy resistance and called for backup. As Crimson was closest, they were redeployed to help Switchback[6] and succeeded in permanently disabling the Harvester, though Switchback disappeared without a trace.[7]

As Crimson continued their covert missions, the UNSC Infinity was invaded by Covenant and Promethean forces seeking to destroy the ship and kidnap Doctor Catherine Halsey.[8]

Battle

A cancelled mission

Fireteam Crimson and Lieutenant TJ Murphy were dispatched to "Apex" in their stolen Phantom to shut down Requiem's portals in the area.[9] However, as Crimson approached the portal, Captain Thomas Lasky's call for battle stations was picked up by both the team and Spartan Jared Miller. Crimson fought through the enemy forces in the area to shut down the portal as Miller attempted to figure out what was going on.

After Crimson succeeded in shutting down the portal, they received a transmission from Commander Sarah Palmer recalling all Spartan fireteams to the ship. Miller reported that the Infinity had been boarded and as a result, he was canceling their mission and recalling Crimson to help defend the ship.[1]
