The second Pelican that is shot down by the Scarab, flies over [[Hotel Zanzibar]] and is spotted by a Sangheili. Private [[O'Brien (Mombasa)|O'Brien]] and the Pelican's [[pilot]]s are killed in the crash, and Sergeant [[Marcus Stacker|Stacker]] tells the remaining 3 ODSTs ([[Butkus]], [[Jones (Old Mombasa)|Jones]], and [[Walpole]]) to grab their tags and ammo. | ||
The Sangheili sends in two Minor Unggoy and a Kig-Yar Sniper to engage them, and the sniper nearly hits Butkus. Jones, the squad's sharpshooter, easily takes the Kig-Yar out. The Kig-Yar's body falls from the ledge and lands next to the two Unggoy, scaring them back to their previous location. The first Unggoy gets by the Sangheili, however, it manages to grab the second one by the neck, then throws it aside. It then activates its [[active camouflage]] and leaps down towards the ODSTs. | The Sangheili sends in two Minor Unggoy and a Kig-Yar Sniper to engage them, and the sniper nearly hits Butkus.

''The pilot goes silent as a huge [[Type-47A Scarab|Scarab]] comes into view. Its leg spears a truck which explodes, then its main gun focuses and fires, destroying the lead Pelican. The two other Pelicans veer off, as Plasma Turrets on the Scarab's back turrets track them. The rightward dropship containing Stacker and the fireteam of ODSTs catches a burst of plasma on its left engine.'' | ''The pilot goes silent as a huge [[Type-47A Scarab|Scarab]] comes into view.

*In the original cutscene of "Outskirts" only the Pelican with Master Chief gets shot by the turret. Here, however, the Pelican holding the ODSTs get shot first at the engine by the turret which then proceeds to shoot down the one carrying Master Chief. This is fixed in the Blur cut-scenes. | *In the original cutscene of "Outskirts" only the Pelican with Master Chief gets shot by the turret.
