However, unbeknownst to the UNSC, a team of ODST's had their own agenda. The nine ODST's were all former CMA veterans, and felt that they had given enough to the UNSC cause. Their plan was to break into a bank in the city center, and use a spare [[Dropship 77-Troop Carrier|Pelican]] dropship to steal the [[gold]] and [[platinum]] ingots stored in the bank's vault. They justified their theft by saying that the precious metals were going to be glassed anyway, and therefore they "didn't exist anymore." The team would use the wealth to retire. | However, unbeknownst to the UNSC, a team of ODST's had their own agenda.
