The Sniper Alley location is an area on Requiem that leads to the power core for the planet's [[Particle cannon]] network and the AI personality of the[[Librarian]]. [[John-117]] entered the area to neutralize the particle cannon network to allow him to reach and destroy the [[Gravity well]] holding the ''[[UNSC Infinity]]'' on the planet. After clearing [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar]] from the area, John-117 faced [[Promethean]] forces. He managed to defeat all of them and progress within the structure and disable the network.<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]''', campaign level ''[[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]]''</ref> | |||
Six months later [[Covenant remnant]] forces had put up an energy source and were drawing energy from the Forerunner mechanisms within the planet. The ''UNSC Infinity''sent in [[Fireteam Crimson]] to locate the power source and eliminate the Covenant in the area. Crimson was successful and an air strike was conducted, destroying the generator. Crimson then was extracted from the area.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', ''Episode 1, Chapter 2: "Sniper Alley"''</ref> Later en route to the [[Refuge]], Crimson's [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] was shot down by Covenent-run Forerunner anti-air turrets.
