After capturing several forward operating bases on the ring's surface, Fernando utilized ''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.{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}} | After capturing several forward operating bases on the ring's surface, Fernando utilized ''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.{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}} | ||
After extracting John from a deactivating Forerunner Spire,{{Ref/Quest|Id=Spire|Hi|Connections|[[Spire (Halo Infinite level)|Spire]]}} the Master Chief and Esparza came under fire from [[Gorespike cannon|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, Esparza and the Master Chief split up, with Esparza attempting to salvage a working slipspace drive from a trio of wrecked [[D80 Condor]] dropships in the debris field, and John proceeding to assault the AA guns so that they could safely take off again. However, after the Master Chief destroyed the guns, he discovered ''Echo 216's'' location had been compromised by the arrivals of [[Hyperius]] and [[Tovarus]], twin members of the infamous [[Hand of Atriox]] "Spartan Killers", and rushed back to the crash site to intercept them before they discover Esparza. The Master Chief defeated the Spartan Killers, but was 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 lamented 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 Esparza down and reassuring him, the Master Chief had the pilot take them to the next location, the [[Command Spire]] on the ring's surface which could deactivate the ring's repair network.{{Ref/Quest|Id=Pelican Down|Hi|Graveyards|[[Pelican Down (Halo Infinite level)|Pelican Down]]}} | After extracting John from a deactivating Forerunner Spire,{{Ref/Quest|Id=Spire|Hi|Connections|[[Spire (Halo Infinite level)|Spire]]}} the Master Chief and Esparza came under fire from [[Kywasky Workshop Gorespike cannon|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.

Esparza continued to utilize ''Echo 216'' to support the Master Chief as he attempts to access the Command Spire, eventually taking it to pick the Master Chief up after he finished his task in the structure. However, just as he arrived to extract the Spartan, a cloaked [[Jega 'Rdomnai]] entered the cockpit and hijacked the Pelican,{{Ref/Quest|Id=The Command Spire|Hi|Reformation|[[The Command Spire]]}} steering ''Echo 216'' away from the Master Chief and towards Escharum's headquarters, the [[House of Reckoning (location)|House of Reckoning]], where Esparza was captured and interred as bait to lure the Master Chief into a final battle with Escharum, and the Pelican was impounded to be dealt with later.{{Ref/Quest|Id=Repository|Hi|Reckoning|[[Repository (Halo Infinite level)|Repository]]}} The Master Chief and the Weapon besieged the House of Reckoning, doing battle with and killing both 'Rdomnai and Escharum and rescuing Esparza and the Pelican.{{Ref/Quest|Id=House of Reckoning|Hi|Reckoning|[[House of Reckoning]]}} | Esparza continued to utilize ''Echo 216'' to support the Master Chief as he attempts to access the Command Spire, eventually taking it to pick the Master Chief up after he finished his task in the structure.

''Echo-216'' is an older model [[D77-TC Pelican]],{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P148}} as opposed to the more modern [[D79-TC Pelican]]s which had previously been assigned to the UNSC ''Infinity''. Though ''Echo-216'' is seemingly equipped with the dumb AI for a D79.{{Ref/Reuse|Pelican Down}} It is armed with a single [[M370 autocannon]] on a chin-mounted pintle, though the weapon is never seen to be used, possibly being either out of ammunition or completely non-functional, as at one point pilot complains to [[John-117]] that they are unarmed.{{Ref/Reuse|Recovery}} It also has an onboard AI, which monitors the vessel's condition and alerts the pilot to system abnormalities and damage. In a critical incident, the AI can also perform a system reset in response to large shocks or impacts in order to reactivate the vessel after crash-landing. | ''Echo-216'' is an older model [[D77-TC Pelican]],{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P148}} as opposed to the more modern [[D79-TC Pelican]]s which had previously been assigned to the UNSC ''Infinity''.

Like many Pelican dropships, ''Echo 216'' is very robust, surviving months on end in the vacuum of space with heavily depleted batteries and moderate combat against Banished forces, at one point even taking multiple hits from Banished anti-aircraft artillery and crash-landing in the middle of a debris field, and at another point having its flight controls stabbed by an Elite's plasma sword during a hijacking. Despite both of these incidents, the ship remained fully operational and flightworthy after only relatively minor repairs. After the Master Chief's [[fusion reactor]] recharged the Pelican's batteries, it was able to recharge itself after being rendered powerless by the stasis beam of a [[Banished dreadnought]], although the pilot noted that the batteries were charging slowly. Nevertheless, full power was restored within only a few minutes.{{Ref/Reuse|Warship Gbraakon}} Notably, ''Echo 216'' appears to be the only functioning Pelican remaining on Zeta Halo as of 2560, the rest having been shot down or destroyed following the battle between the Banished and UNSC; [[Glibnub]], the Banished [[Unggoy]] in charge of [[Propaganda tower|Propaganda broadcasts]], in particular makes note of this, and claims that the [[Gorespike cannon|Banished AA Guns]] "are very excited about shooting it down, " though ''Echo 216''{{'}}s status as the last functioning Pelican at Zeta Halo could simply be another of Glibnub's lies intended to demoralize the remaining UNSC forces. | Like many Pelican dropships, ''Echo 216'' is very robust, surviving months on end in the vacuum of space with heavily depleted batteries and moderate combat against Banished forces, at one point even taking multiple hits from Banished anti-aircraft artillery and crash-landing in the middle of a debris field, and at another point having its flight controls stabbed by an Elite's plasma sword during a hijacking.
