There is supporting evidence to entail and suggest that the Marines were never attacked by Sentinels but were in fact ''assisted'' by them. This is not out of the question because, like on Installation 04, the Sentinels might have identified the Marines as Reclaimers, rather than how [[Onyx Sentinel|Sentinels]] branded the humans as an "aboriginal subspecies" on [[Onyx]].

For starters, the Arbiter encounters an enormous and massive number of human combat forms inside the Sentinel Wall immediately after he deactivates the shield. This suggests that the humans had been deployed much earlier which should have been impossible. First of all, the marines should not have been able to deploy immediately after the barrier went down because ''In Amber Clad'' would've first had to slip past the Covenant forces that were moving in to secure the inner wall. However, if the Sentinels had chosen to assist the marines, they would've deactivated a small portion of the barrier to let them in. Also, in the area where the UNSC [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] flies over head, there are a number of Sentinels and even an [[Enforcer]] present. None of which seem to show any hostility towards the Pelican. Another factor is simply that considering how much trouble Covenant Elites had getting inside the Library, it doesn't seem likely that the marines would've been able to get past the Flood and the Sentinels. However, if the Sentinels had been helping them ~~directly~~, then it is much more likely that they would have succeeded ~~or maybe not~~.
