Fire Team Charlie: Difference between revisions

'''Fire Team Charlie''' was a [[United Nations Space Command]] [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] unit stationed aboard the [[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]] that actively participated in the [[Battle of Installation 04]].

During the assault on the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'', Fire Team Charlie, led by [[Sergeant Parker]], helped SPARTAN-117 assault the [[Covenant]] ship to rescue [[Captain Jacob Keyes]]. This marine strike team was professionally murdered  by [[Stealth Elites]] armed with [[Energy Swords]] once separated from [[SPARTAN-117]]. However, from Cortana's reports, the marines gave a good fight against their attackers, as SPARTAN-117 came across several Covenant [[Elite]] corpses, ridden with bullet holes. Fire Team Charlie did not die in vain: [[Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] was freed from his Covenant prison cell by the SPARTAN-117. It is presumed that some of Fire Team Charlie survived the battle on the ''Truth and Reconciliation'' because some of the Marines were kept in reserves.

Fire Team Charlie also was seen in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' in the first scene of level [[Pillar of Autumn (Level)|Pillar of Autumn]], but were not named until the second level, ''[[Halo (level)|Halo]]''. This Fire Team Charlie was part of [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Johnson]]'s [[Platoon]] and was with Captain Keyes and Johnson when they went searching for a [[weapons]] cache that turned out to be the [[Flood]] in [[343 Guilty Spark (Level)]]. Fire Team Charlie's Marines were either turned into [[Flood]] [[Combat Forms]] or went [[MIA]] either onboard the ''Truth and Reconciliation'', or near Alpha Base. The only known "survivor" of the expedition to search for the "weapons" was Jenkins, who was controlled by a weaker Infection Form. He proceeded to alert the Marines of the Flood's presence below Alpha Base and the newly captured Truth and Reconciliation, his actions leading to the marines destroying and going down with their ship, all hands with it- but preventing the Flood from escaping Halo. The victims of the [[Infection Forms]] were either killed by Johnson during his flee from the weapons cache, destroyed by SPARTAN-117 during his escape from the facility, defeated by [[McKay]]'s ODST Platoon, destroyed aboard the [[The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor|Infinite Succor]], or were killed during the destruction of [[Installation 04|Halo]].
