Changes from Dirt

 * The Rookie saved Gage Yevgenny from an Unggoy, though in the original story, no enemy has gotten near to the Pelican crash site before the Rookie's arrival.
 * Gage Yevgenny joined the ODSTs immediately after he left home, as opposed to be a Colonial Military Administration soldier before inspired to join the UNSC.
 * Due to the change above, Allison Stark was never introduced, and Yevgenny only met Felicia Sanderson and Eric Santiago during training, and not after going to CMA boot camp. Santiago was never sent to a coma by insurrectionists.
 * Unlike the original story, Yevgenny, Sanderson, and Santiago were sent to fight on Harvest.
 * Yevgenny lost track of Sanderson because he was knocked out during the battle, though in the original plot, Sanderson was transferred away from his squad.
 * made an appearance as the ship Yevgenny was brought aboard after being knocked out.
