The prologue begins before the [[ | The prologue begins before the [[Fall of Reach]] flashing back to Chapter 34 in ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'' where [[Captain Keyes]] informed the [[Master Chief]] of the matter of the unsecured NAV database. [[Frederic-104]] is made the leader of Red Team and ordered to take the other [[SPARTAN-II]]s down to [[Reach]] to protect the generators powering the orbital [[MAC]] guns. | ||
The narrative then follows [[Red Team]] as they ride a [[Pelican]] down to the surface, but are forced to make a supersonic hard landing to the ground after the pilot gets hit by plasma fire from [[Seraph]] Fighters. The impact kills four of the Spartans and leaves many more seriously injured. Most lose their weapons and ammunition, [[SPARTAN-104|Fred-104]] and [[Spartan-087|Kelly-087]] improvise using rocks until they are able to police Covenant weapons from a group of [[Jackals]] they kill. The Spartans then group up with the remaining four [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] in [[Charlie Company]]. The [[Marines]] summarize how the battle has gone, saying that they were the only ones who survived the battle to that point. | The narrative then follows [[Red Team]] as they ride a [[Pelican]] down to the surface, but are forced to make a supersonic hard landing to the ground after the pilot gets hit by plasma fire from [[Seraph]] Fighters.

*In ''Halo: The Flood'' it is stated that 15 marines per Pelican is "pushing the limit". However, in the novel, it is carrying twenty seven Spartans with apparent ease.

*In the novel, an ODST wears a normal Marine uniform instead of their regular space suit, this however could be the standard for ODSTs when not performing orbital insertions, since it would be easier to fight in. It is also mentioned in ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', that ODSTs accompany the Master Chief on his mission to the ''Truth and Reconciliation'', yet there are no Marines in space suits, so they must be wearing Marine uniforms. Possibly, some ODSTs did not have a chance to suit up before the ''Pillar of Autumn'' was boarded, or some ODST suits were lost when the ''Autumn'' was hit by plasma fire during the | *In the novel, an ODST wears a normal Marine uniform instead of their regular space suit, this however could be the standard for ODSTs when not performing orbital insertions, since it would be easier to fight in.

*After the ''Unyielding Hierophant'' exploded, there were only a dozen [[Covenant]] ships left, give or take. These ships might have been the ones led by Regret that attacked [[Earth]] in the [[Battle of Earth]], or the ones the [[Prophet of Truth]] sent to Earth to after Regret's failed attack. | *After the ''Unyielding Hierophant'' exploded, there were only a dozen [[Covenant]] ships left, give or take.
