Editing Second squad (Pillar of Autumn)

The '''second squad'''  was a squad of standard [[UNSC Marine Corps]] personnel present during the [[Battle of Installation 04]]. The squad was present at the [[Outbreak at the Containment Facility|initial outbreak]] of the [[Flood]].

By [[2552#September|September 19, 2552]], the members of the second squad were aboard the ''Pillar of Autumn'' when it arrived in the [[Soell system]]. Following the [[Raid on the Truth and Reconciliation|rescue]] of Captain [[Jacob Keyes]], the squad was selected to investigate a supposed [[Flood containment facility|weapons cache]], in fact a containment facility for the Flood parasite. The second squad would arrive in the swamps with the Captain and eventually meet up with [[Fire Team Charlie]], who had already secured the site. The squad was assigned to guard the facility entrance to allow for Charlie to have a viable escape route. While Charlie were exploring the complex, second squad would be set upon by the Flood and make a panicked transmission to Charlie, before the latter group were promptly set upon themselves.<ref name="flood6">''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', Chapter 6</ref><ref name="CE343GS">''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', campaign level, ''[[343 Guilty Spark (level)|343 Guilty Spark]]''</ref>
