Their objective was to cause chaos among the human ranks so as to allow six [[Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirits]] containing more Covenant forces to land. Many of them were killed when the landing pad that the Pelican had touched down on was flooded with fuel and set alight. The survivors made it into the lower levels of the base where they killed every human they found, including those in the Control Room. Eventually all Special Operations Sangheili were killed by a fireteam of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], with only [[Special Operations Officer]] [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] and his [[Unggoy]] assistant [[Yayap]] escaping.<ref name="tf243">'''Halo: The Flood''', Chapter 8, ''page 219'' (2003 paperback); ''page 243'' (2010 paperback)</ref> | ||
