In [[2558|February 2558]], the area known as Two Giants was under Covenant control. [[Mountain Squad]], a joint [[Spartan Operations|Spartan]]/[[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] unit, was deployed to the area to investigate a mysterious signal received at [[Galileo Base]]. Their [[D79-TC Pelican]] crashed behind enemy lines and the survivors came under fire. In response, [[Commander]] [[Sarah Palmer]] deployed Spartan [[Fireteam Crimson]] to the area, where they engaged and linked up with Mountain Squad's surviving Spartans. Though the Spartans of Mountain Squad were killed, Crimson investigated the southern tower, which Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] surmised to be the origin of the signal; at this time, the tower emitted a pulse into the sky, which alerted nearby Covenant forces.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Catherine/Spartan Mountain|S1E3 ''Spartan Mountain'']]</ref> | In [[2558|February 2558]], the area known as Two Giants was under Covenant control.
