At some point, Infinity science personnel requested a Spartan Fireteam to investigate a Forerunner structure located within Requiem's jungle. [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Palmer]], sent [[Fireteam Crimson]] to scout the area. Crimson entered a large atrium and encountered no hostiles. The structure seemed to be abandoned until [[Jared Miller]], picked up power fluctuations coming from the back of the facility. Crimson found the power source and encountered [[Promethean Crawler]]s guarding a star chart. Commander Palmer ordered Crimson to extract the data from a nearby console. While Miller establishes an up-link to extract the data, Crimson fends off multiple Crawlers. With the data extracted, Palmer ordered Crimson to pull-back and wait for extraction. As Crimson heads for the extraction point, they encountered a group of [[Promethean Knight]]s. The structure's main entrance is closed and more Promethean forces show up. Crimson is forced to defend themselves. Miller finds a way for the Spartans to escape, and points them to a console that controls the facility's door. Crimson activates the controls and are ordered to clear out any remaining hostile. With the structure secured and the data uploaded, the mission is a success. Spartan Robert Dalton arrives with a Pelican dropship for extraction.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', [[S1/Departure|S1E1 ''Departure'']]</ref>

Some time later science team Gagarin activates a Forerunner artifact and mysteriously disappears. Crimson returns to investigate what happened to Gagarin. Upon accessing the audio log, they hear the scientists activating an unknown object, screams are heard before it is cut off. Miller is then told by Infinity Science to investigate two nearby consoles Gagarin had activated. Palmer, realizing the danger of the situation, orders Crimson to shut it down. Upon deactivating the first console, Promethean Crawlers and Knights translocate near them. After eliminating the first few Prometheans and deactivating the second console, Miller detects more activity within the structure. More Prometheans show up and engage Crimson.  
 
As Crimson fights to clear the area of hostiles, Miller points to several computer consoles that gradually reveal Gagarin team's fate. This eventually leads to four power sources of a large Forerunner artifact that had been activated by Gagarin team. Palmer orders Crimson to shut it all down. After doing so, Crimson clears out the remaining Prometheans before being extracted.

Later, as Infinity Science starts investigating Requiem's portal system they began testing at this location, using Crimson as test subjects.

History

The Refuge on Requiem

Commander Palmer, sent Fireteam Crimson to scout The Refuge at the best of UNSC Infinity's science team. Though the area seemed empty, Jared Miller located Promethean Crawlers guarding a star chart. Crimson uploaded the data, and prepared to leave to be extracted by Robert Dalton's Pelican. The door closed on Crimson and they had to fight off Promethean Knights before the door re-opened.[1] Science team Gagarin is sent to the facility, and they activate a Forerunner artifact that causes the team to vanish. Crimson returns to investigate what happened to Gagarin. They begin to be attacked by Prometheans as they gradually switch off the activated Forerunner technology, defeating Prometheans to do so. Crimson shuts down four power generators and then leaves, with Marines being sent to guard the Refuge. Although Gagarin's true fate was not uncovered, Jared Miller theorizes that something similar to the Requiem translocation artifact may have translocated the team. [2] Another science team was sent to the facility, led by Leslie Boyd. Using power generators at The Gate, Boyd was then able to control the Slipspace translocation system on the planet. Crimson is teleported from the Gate to the Refuge where the base soon came under attack by a large number of Prometheans going after the portal technology. A few scientists had been left outside during the attack and were soon targeted as well, forcing Crimson to defend the scientists. Eventually Dr. Ruiz figured out how to shut down the portal system and Crimson was able to halt the Promethean's attack.[3] Soon Marines from Warbird Company arrived to reinforce the area, but Covenant soon attacked them in Crimson . However, the Covenant deployed a shield cornering some Marines. Roland was able to hack the shield and make it vulnerable to small arms fire, allowing Crimson to destroy the shield and aid the Marines. The "Silent Blade" Covenant unit, then began trying to reach the scientists in the safe room, later supplanted by a Cruiser. Fireteam Shadow was brought in to infiltrate and destroy the battlecruiser while Crimson defended the location. Shadow, at first encountered heavy resistance but was eventually able to overload the battlecruiser's power core and destroy it, halting the Covenant attack.[4]
