By 0236 hours on September 21, the final mission arrived back at Alpha Base for the night, with no more flights scheduled. The Battle for Alpha Base began with a distress relay call from the [[D77 Pelican|Pelican]] dropship [[Charlie 217]]. This Pelican had been listed as MIA, and so was allowed to land on one of the pads at [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]], although a Marine reaction force was put on standby. The Pelican was piloted by [[Lieutenant]] [[Rick Hale]], a Covenant prisoner. As soon as the Pelican was given permission to land, the lieutenant was strangled to death by Zuka 'Zamamee using an [[energy garrote]]. [[Wellsley]], the Alpha Base AI, detected six additional heat signatures behind the Pelican which he recognized as [[Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirit dropships]] inbound at 350 kph. Though he was unable to prevent Charlie 217 from landing, he was able to warn his superiors to mount a response.{{Ref/Novel|Id=flood8|HTF|Chapter=8}} | By 0236 hours on September 21, the final mission arrived back at Alpha Base for the night, with no more flights scheduled.
