The film starts off with two ODSTs of [[2nd Shock Troops Battalion#Subordinate_Units|Alpha Team]], Bravo-21 ([[T. Rymann]]) and Bravo-22 ([[S. Hartley]]), being tracked on an aerial camera as they move through a wasteland with gunfire going off around them along with several [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] [[fuel rod]] strikes closely missing them. | ||
Bravo-22 is tracking something on a hand-held scanner, and retrieves an elongated casing labeled "UNSC" from under a pile of debris while Bravo-21 gives him covering fire against fast-moving enemies. Superheated metal spikes impale the wall that they are near as a pair of [[Jiralhanae Minor|Brute Minors]] open fire with [[ | Bravo-22 is tracking something on a hand-held scanner, and retrieves an elongated casing labeled "UNSC" from under a pile of debris while Bravo-21 gives him covering fire against fast-moving enemies. Superheated metal spikes impale the wall that they are near as a pair of [[Jiralhanae Minor|Brute Minors]] open fire with [[Type-25 Carbine|Spike Rifles]]. Bravo-21 shoots them both with his [[BR55 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle|B555HB SR battle rifle]], downing one as Bravo-22 calls for evacuation, prompting a [[D77H-TCI Pelican]] dropship to begin its descent to their position as Bravo-21 kills the second Brute with his battle rifle. | ||
Bravo-21 is almost killed by a [[fuel rod cannon]] strike from a strafing Banshee. The Pelican drops off a [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle]], prompting the ODSTs to make a run for it in the middle of an exposed area. Bravo-21 takes the driver's seat while Bravo-22 takes the passenger seat. Bravo-22 is then hit from an unknown source of fire, splattering smears of blood against the Warthog's windshield and the camera. The Warthog smashes through a wall then, shortly afterward, the film ends with <tt>'Transmission Terminated, End Part 1'</tt>. | Bravo-21 is almost killed by a [[fuel rod cannon]] strike from a strafing Banshee.
