| '''Fireteam Zulu''' was a [[United Nations Space Command]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] [[Fireteam]] unit stationed aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} that actively participated in the [[Battle of Installation 04]] and operated out of [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]]. They encountered [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]] during the [[Assault on the Control Room (conflict)|Assault on the Control Room]], when he stepped out onto a bridge spanning a large valley.{{Ref/Reuse|HCECAOTCR}}{{Ref/Reuse|HTFC7}}

| ===Equipment===
| | '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was a [[United Nations Space Command]] [[UNSC Marines|Marine]] unit stationed aboard the ''{{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}'' that actively participated in the [[Battle of Installation 04]]. |
| During their time on Installation 04, Fireteam Zulu had access to several [[Human weaponry|weapons]], including multiple [[MA5B assault rifle]]s, an [[M41 SPNKR|M41 rocket launcher]], and an [[Sniper Rifle System 99C-S2 Anti-Matériel|SRS99C-S2 sniper rifle]].{{Ref/Reuse|HCECAOTCR}}{{Ref/Reuse|HTFC7}}
| | They are first heard of by [[SPARTAN-117]] about a third the way through the [[Assault on the Control Room]] when the [[Master Chief]] stepped out onto a bridge spanning a large valley. |
|
| |
|
| ==History==
| | The [[D77-TC|Pelican]] that transported Fire Team Zulu was attacked by [[Covenant]] [[Banshees]] on its descent to drop off the [[Fire Team]]. After deploying the troops, along with a [[Warthog]], the drop ship flew out of view into the next valley where it was later found crashed into the valley wall. The crash was not witnessed by the [[Master Chief]] but it is assumed that it was due to the damage sustained from the [[Banshee]] attack (seen on [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]] difficulties).<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]] page 179</ref> [[Weapons]] that were brought in by Team Zulu include a [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|Rocket Launcher]], [[SRS99C-S2 AM Sniper Rifle|Sniper Rifle]], and a [[Warthog]]. The [[Master Chief]], on meeting up with [[Fire Team]] Zulu, helped by destroying a [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghost]] and a couple of [[Shade]] turrets. Upon linking up with Zulu, [[Spartan-117]], with a [[UNSC Marines|Marine]] manning the Warthog's [[LAAG|turret]], destroyed a nearby [[Wraith]] guarding the valley.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]] page 182-184</ref> |

| {{Main|Battle of Installation 04}}
| |
| During the Battle of Installation 04, Fireteam Zulu was one of the units that operated out of Alpha Base.{{Ref/Reuse|HTFC7}}
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Assault on the Control Room===
| | A [[Scorpion Tank]] was present near the drop ship's crash site in the next valley, but it doesn't seem likely to have been brought in by Fire Team Zulu as a [[D77-TC|Pelican]] can only lift a Scorpion ''or'' a [[Warthog]] due to weight limits and the Fire Team Zulu Pelican can be seen carrying a [[Warthog]] from the bridge. |
| During the Assault on the Control Room, Fireteam Zulu was caught in a Covenant attack. The [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] that transported Fireteam Zulu was attacked by [[Covenant]] [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] on its descent to drop off the [[Fireteam|Fire Team]]. When they called for help John-117 with the [[Artificial intelligence]] [[Cortana]] was in the area and told them to hold their postition.{{Ref/Reuse|HCECAOTCR}}{{Ref/Reuse|HTFC7}} After deploying the troops, along with a [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]], the drop ship flew out of view into the next valley where it was later found crashed into the valley wall.{{Ref/Reuse|HCECAOTCR}}{{Ref/Reuse|HTFC7}}

|
| John-117, upon meeting up with the Fireteam, helped destroy a [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost]], a couple of [[Mamua'uda-pattern Shade|Shade]] turrets, and with a Marine manning the Warthog's [[M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun|turret]], destroyed a nearby [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]] guarding the valley.{{Ref/Reuse|HCECAOTCR}}{{Ref/Reuse|HTFC7}}
| | The tank was presumably brought in earlier by another [[UNSC Marines|Marine]] unit. Later, the [[Master Chief]] encountered Marines from a previous mission. [[Cortana (AI)|Cortana]] announces their presence by saying, "I thought the [[Covenant]] had eliminated all [[UNSC Marines|Marine]] forces in the area". Apparently, they hadn't. These Marines were probably not part of [[Fire Team]] Zulu, because the teams were nowhere near each other. They could, however, have been part of the same [[platoon]] or [[company]]. |

| |
|
| A [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpion tank]] was present near the dropship's apparent crash site in the next valley.{{Ref/Reuse|HCECAOTCR}}

|
| |
|
| Fireteam Zulu then assisted John-117 as he fought his way through the valleys. When John-117 had to ascend the final main valley in order to cross a pair of bridges overlooking the valley, they did not follow because evac had become available.{{Ref/Reuse|HCECAOTCR}}

|
| ==Trivia==
| | [[Fire Team]] Zulu then assisted the [[Master Chief|Chief]] as he fought his way through the valleys but when the [[Master Chief]] had to cross a pair of bridges overlooking the valley, they did not follow because evac had become available. |
| *In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the voice of [[Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]] issues from the Pelican, calling for assistance. This is not possible because he was in the swamp near the [[Flood containment facility]] with [[Jacob Keyes|Captain Keyes]] at the time. Most likely, the voice heard in-game belongs to the voice actor of Johnson, but was intended to represent the voice of another character. Alternatively, Bungie only created two sergeant models, so they had no choice but to place Johnson into the level.
| | |
| *When the Pelican first landed, there were already Marines deployed in the area, along with an extra Warthog. The Marines that were already there do not seem to react to friendly forces or enemies and will just stand there. If the player manages to get down to their location (using [[Assault on the Control Room|a glitch]] or with mods) and shoot them, the other Marines that came out of the Pelican will turn on the player. The Marines that descend from the Pelican are normal and will move and react to friends and enemies.
| | [[Fire Team]] Zulu had at least one [[Corporal (UNSC)|Corporal]]<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]] page 182</ref> and one [[Sergeant (UNSC)|Sergeant]]<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]] page 185</ref>. The squad was approximately 6 Marines strong, and later encountered the survivors of another 5-man squad, as mentioned above. |
| *Some of the Marines did not leave the Pelican that descended, and bailed out after the Pelican was supposedly shot down. These Marines are presumably the ones later encountered in the second valley, seen fending off an approaching wave of Covenant approaching their position and Scorpion tank near the alleged dropship crash site.
| |
| *The crashed Pelican's number reads "E419". This is just a generic marker of most dropships in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''.

| | The surviving members of [[Fire Team]] Zulu were either likely consumed by the Flood or killed when [[Installation 04]] was destroyed , though it is possible that some could have survived and left [[Installation 04]] with [[Pete Stacker (Marine)|Pete Stacker]]. |

| *''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' {{1st}} | | *In Halo: Combat Evolved Sergeant Avery Johnson is on the Pelican, and calls for assistance. This is not possible because he was in the swamp near the Flood Containment Facility, with Captain Keyes at the time. |
| *''[[Halo: The Flood]]'' | | *If you look down at the valley where the Pelican first landed, you'll see that there were already Marines deployed there, along with an extra Warthog. Also, some of the Marines did not leave the ship, and bailed out after the Pelican was supposedly shot down. |
| *''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'' | | *If you look at the crashed Pelican, you'll see that it reads "E419". This is just a generic marker of most dropships in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. |
| | *The [[Scorpion Tank]] could not have been brought in by Fire Team Zulu, therefore another [[Pelican]] dropship must have brought it. It stands to reason then that the crashed [[Pelican]] dropship found in the second valley might not have been the dropship of Fire Team Zulu. |
