The Case

The Case is an object seen in Part 2 of the Arms Race video trilogy. It was found in a pile of wreckage and rubble by S. Hartley using a Scanner. The apparent fact that Delta Team was specifically deployed to find The Case (due to the Appearance of the Scanner) indicates that The Case is of high importance. While some have speculated that The Case is an ammunition crate for a SPNKr missile clip, The Case appears to be a plastic or metal case instead of the wooden crate that SPNKr missiles come in. The case features a black finish with the letters "UNSC" on the side in white.



The case is actually a cover for a kind of laser targeting device, used to target Master Chief's re-etry comet when it separates from the main one upon his reentry to Earth. They successfully beam this information to a Pelican dropship, who, in turn, sends it to the recovery team.
