On October 23rd, three [[Pelicans]] were deployed by the ''[[UNSC In Amber Clad|In Amber Clad]]'' to board the [[Regret's Carrier|Assault Carrier]] hovering near the [[New Mombasa Orbital Elevator]]. Intercepted transmission from the Covenant forces lead the UNSC to (correctly) believe that it was the High Prophet of Regret in command of the opposing force, making his capture their utmost priority. However, before they could get near the the Carrier, the formation ran across a [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform]] which shot down two of the Pelicans | On October 23rd, three [[Pelicans]] were deployed by the ''[[UNSC In Amber Clad|In Amber Clad]]'' to board the [[Regret's Carrier|Assault Carrier]] hovering near the [[New Mombasa Orbital Elevator]]. Intercepted transmission from the Covenant forces lead the UNSC to (correctly) believe that it was the High Prophet of Regret in command of the opposing force, making his capture their utmost priority. However, before they could get near the the Carrier, the formation ran across a [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform]] which shot down two of the three of the Pelicans: | ||
*The first escaped; | |||
*The second - carrying [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Pete Stacker]] and an [[ODST]] squad - was shot down and landed on the beach; | |||
*A third carrying [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery J. Johnson]] and the [[Master Chief]] was hit hard, crashing into a building, upside down. | |||
Both teams suffered few casualties from their respective crashes. The Spartan's team moved into a nearby bunker while Stacker's team moved up the beach to the [[Hotel Zanzibar]] and set up a command post, eliminating several Covenant units in the process. Both teams then waited in their respective locations for extraction. | Both teams suffered few casualties from their respective crashes.
