The Battle for Alpha Base began with a distress relay call from the [[D77-TC 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 [[Type-25 | The Battle for Alpha Base began with a distress relay call from the [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] dropship [[Charlie 217]].

Thirty heavily armed [[Stealth Sangheili|Stealth Elites]] disembarked from the dropship and attacked every Marine in sight. Despite being caught mostly unaware, the UNSC forces rallied and fought back, flooding the landing pad with fuel and setting it aflame with a grenade, killing a number of the [[Sangheili|Elites]] and destroying the Covenant-captured Pelican. | Thirty heavily armed [[Stealth Sangheili|Stealth Elites]] disembarked from the dropship and attacked every Marine in sight.
