At some point around [[2560#May|May 2560]],{{Ref/Reuse|HICGP}} ''Echo 216'' was still present near [[Installation 07]], where it had been adrift in a large debris field for the past six months. Eventually, the ship drifted into a collision with John-117, and the pilot was able to use the ship's internal power source to bring the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN's]] [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|MJOLNIR (GEN3)]] armor system online.

Eventually, the ship drifted into a collision with John-117, and the pilot was able to use what little power was left in the ship's internal power source to bring the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN's]] [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|MJOLNIR (GEN3)]] armor system online. The armor's [[fusion reactor]] in turn almost instantly recharged the Pelican's depleted batteries, restoring functioning to ''Echo 216's'' internal lights and systems. Following this event, an attack generated electrical discharges throughout the Pelican, and enveloped it in a bright light. The pilot sealed himself in the Pelican's cockpit while John-117 opened the troop bay's external door so that he could go on the offensive.{{Ref/Reuse|DH}} John-117, discovering the attack to come from the [[Banished dreadnought]] ''[[Ghost of Gbraakon]]'' attempting to capture ''Echo-216'' for salvage, boarded the vessel and sabotaged its engines, freeing ''216'' and causing the dreadnought to plummet to the ring's surface. John-117 then had Fernando take ''Echo-216'' to a sublevel of the damaged Installation, where Fernando momentarily lost contact with the SPARTAN-II. When John-117's signal was re-acquired near the wreckage of the {{UNSCShip|Mortal Reverie}}, ''Echo-216'' flew in to extract him, Fernando in the process learning that John-117 had recovered [[the Weapon]] to continue the mission to locate Cortana and link up with the scattered UNSC personnel on the ring. | ||
After capturing several forward operating bases on the ring's surface, Fernando utilizes ''Echo-216'' to deliver vehicles and supplies at John-117's request and assist with UNSC logistics, and to transport John-117 himself between objectives. On May 28, after extracting John from a deactivating Forerunner Spire, John and Fernando come under fire from Banished anti-aircraft cannons, damaging ''Echo-216'' and causing the Pelican to crash land in the middle of a debris field from the Battle over Installation 07. As the Pelican's systems reset from the shock of the crash, Fernando and John split up, with Fernando attempting to salvage a working slipspace core from a trio of wrecked [[D81-LRT Condor]] dropships in the debris field, and John proceeding to assault the AA guns so that they may safely take off.{{Ref/Reuse|HICGP}} However, after John destroys the guns, he discovers ''Echo-216's'' location has been compromised by the arrivals of [[Hyperius]] and [[Tovarus]], twin members of the infamous [[Hand of Atriox]] "Spartan Killers", and rushes back to the crash site to intercept them before they discover Fernando. John defeats the Spartan Killers, but is informed by a distraught Fernando that none of the Condors had intact slipspace drives to salvage, leaving ''Echo-216'' hopelessly stranded on the ring; he also laments having stolen ''Echo-216'' to escape the ''Infinity'', claiming that it could have been used to save other UNSC personnel rather than just himself. After calming Fernando down and assuring him, John has the pilot take them to the next location, another Spire on the ring's surface which can access the ring's repair network.{{Ref/Level|Id=Pelican Down|Hi|[[Pelican Down (Halo Infinite level)|Pelican Down]]}} | After capturing several forward operating bases on the ring's surface, Fernando utilizes ''Echo-216'' to deliver vehicles and supplies at John-117's request and assist with UNSC logistics, and to transport John-117 himself between objectives.
