The [[D77-TC|Pelican]] that transported Fire Team Zulu was attacked by [[Covenant]] [[Banshees]] on its descent to drop off the [[Fire Team]]. After deploying the troops, along with a [[Warthog]], the drop ship flew out of view into the next valley where it was later found crashed into the valley wall. The crash was not witnessed by the Master Chief, but it is assumed that it was due to the damage sustained from the Banshee attack (seen on [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]] difficulties).<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 179''</ref> [[Weapons]] that were brought in by Fire Team Zulu include a [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|Rocket Launcher]], [[SRS99C-S2 AM Sniper Rifle|Sniper Rifle]], and a Warthog. The Master Chief, upon meeting up with Fire Team Zulu, helped by destroying a [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghost]] and a couple of [[Shade]] turrets. Upon linking up with Zulu, Spartan-117, with a Marine manning the Warthog's [[LAAG|turret]], destroyed a nearby [[Wraith]] guarding the valley.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 182-184''</ref> | The [[D77-TC|Pelican]] that transported Fire Team Zulu was attacked by [[Covenant]] [[Banshees]] on its descent to drop off the [[Fire Team]].

Fire Team Zulu then assisted the Chief as he fought his way through the valleys; when the Master Chief had to ascend the final main valley in order to cross a pair of bridges overlooking the valley, they did not follow because evac had become available. | Fire Team Zulu then assisted the Chief as he fought his way through the valleys; when the Master Chief had to ascend the final main valley in order to cross a pair of bridges overlooking the valley, they did not follow because evac had become available. | ||
Their later fate is known. The surviving members of Fire Team Zulu were either likely consumed by the Flood or killed when [[Installation 04]] was destroyed, though it is possible that some could have survived and left Installation 04 with [[Pete Stacker (Marine)|Pete Stacker]]. | |||

*In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the voice of [[Sergeant Avery Johnson]] issues from the Pelican, calling for assistance. This is not possible because he was in the swamp near the Flood Containment Facility with Captain Keyes at the time. Most likely, the voice heard in-game belongs to the voice actor of Johnson, but was intended to represent the voice of another character. | *In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the voice of [[Sergeant Avery Johnson]] issues from the Pelican, calling for assistance.

*If you look down at the valley where the Pelican first landed, you will see that there were already Marines deployed there, along with an extra Warthog. Also, some of the Marines did not leave the ship, and bailed out after the Pelican was supposedly shot down. These Marines are presumably the ones later encountered in the second valley, seen fending an approaching wave of Covenant approaching their position and Scorpion tank near the alleged dropship crash site. | *If you look down at the valley where the Pelican first landed, you will see that there were already Marines deployed there, along with an extra Warthog.
