Synopsis
The short film follows two United Nations Space Command Defense Force Orbital Drop Shock Troopers fighting across a wasteland, being engaged by Brutes and Banshees on strafing runs.

The film starts off with two ODSTs, Bravo-21(T. Rymarr) and Bravo-22(S. Partley) being tracked on a camera as they move through a wasteland with gunfire gonig off around them along with several Banshee fuel rod strikes near missing them. Alpha Team, as they are refered to, are tracking something on a handheld scanner and Bravo-22 digs it out of a pile of rubble while the Bravo-21 gives him covering fire against fast moving enemies. The marine digs out a crate (similar to the one that holds M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher tubes) labelled UNSC. Several metal spikes impact on the wall nearby them then Bravo-21 guns down a pair of Brute Minors toting Spiker. Bravo-22 calls for evac and Pelican to began it's descent to their position. Bravo-21 is almost killed by a Fuel Rod Cannon strike and radar or radio dishes can ben seen in the distance. The Pelican drops off a Warthog, prompting the ODSTs to make a run for it. Bravo-21 gets in the drivers seat and Bravo-22 goes shotgun. They begin to drive off and one is hit, the film ending shortly after that.
