Despite the rest of the UNSC personnel abandoning in lifeboats and drop pods, several naval [[pilot]]s and ground crew including [[Carol Rawley]] devised an alternate plan; to attempt to take off from the ship in their [[D77-TC Pelican]] dropships | Despite the rest of the UNSC personnel abandoning in lifeboats and drop pods, several naval [[pilot]]s and ground crew including [[Carol Rawley]] devised an alternate plan; to attempt to take off from the ship in their [[D77-TC Pelican]] dropships, believing that dying behind the stick of her own craft was preferable to death by a Covenant weapon. The pilot team managed to make their way to the Pelican bays, thankful to find their craft undamaged and fully fueled. As they ran an abbreviated pre-flight checklist, they spotted a Covenant boarding craft lining up to enter the bay, though the Pelican's chin-mounted 70mm chaingun took care of the dropship without issue. By this time, the ''Autumn'' was beginning to scrape the atmosphere of the Halo, meaning the ships would have to be extremely lucky to deploy due to the wall of fire building around the ship. Nonetheless, the Pelicans were able to deploy without issue.{{Ref/Reuse|flood1}} | ||
As the crew finished evacuation, the Covenant attempted to launch a last assault on the command deck. The attack was repelled, and fifteen minutes later, reports began to come in that the Covenant were beginning to evacuate themselves. This left the area around the bridge clear of hostiles, and Keyes free to use Cortana's subroutines left in the system to bring the ship in before evacuating himself. Out of the corner of his eye, Keyes noticed a shimmering but brushed it off as tiredness. However, what he had in fact seen was the shimmering of 'Nosolee's camoflage system, who remained thankful he hadn't been spotted. The Sangheili realised the ship's AI had been removed or destroyed, and voted to try to capture the captain. Eventually, the bridge crew began to depart their stations as their work finished, and the Ossoona fell into step behind them. The bridge crew's lifeboat was nearby and six marines had been assigned to guard it, though three were dead. 'Nosolee entered the lifeboat, careful not to brush any of the humans as he found space at the front to stand unnoticed, though this plan ultimately failed as Keyes took the sidearm of one of the marines and fired at the Sangheili. The Sangheili suddenly appeared as the camo generator failed, and floated in the mcirogravity.{{Ref/Reuse|flood1}} | As the crew finished evacuation, the Covenant attempted to launch a last assault on the command deck.
