==History==
'''Victor 933''' was a [[United Nations Space Command]] [[D77-TC Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] dropship attached to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} in [[2552]].{{Ref/Level|Id=343GS|CE|[[343 Guilty Spark (level)|343 Guilty Spark]]}}
[[Image:Pelican V933.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Pelican V933]]
'''Victor 933''' was a [[United Nations Space Command]] [[Pelican]] dropship attached to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} in [[2552]]. When the ''Autumn'' was shot down over [[Installation 04]] that year, Victor 933 escaped intact, and was used by the [[Marines]] of [[Alpha Base]]. It appears however, that the Marines did not take any of the heavier UNSC weaponry, except for the shotguns that can be found on [[Easy|easy]]. It is found near the begining of the level [[343 Guilty Spark (Level)|343 Guilty Spark]].


It was sent out with [[Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] and [[Second Squad (Halo CE)|Second Squad]] in hopes of finding a [[Covenant]] weapons cache. Twelve hours after the last transmission from the Pelican, the [[Master Chief]] dropped into the swamp aboard [[Echo 419]] and found the wreckage of Victor 933. Apparently, the Pelican had been ambushed on takeoff and crashed into the swamp. One of the pilots managed to record and bradcast a last message, in case anyone found the dropship:
==Battle of Installation 04==
{{Main|Battle of Installation 04}}
When the ''Autumn'' was shot down over [[Installation 04]], Victor 933 escaped intact, and was used by the [[Marines]] of [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]] as transport.


"''Dropship Victor 93-(static)-the Pillar of Autumn-(static)-eed assistance. We are under att-(static)-attack by some kind of hostile-(static)-it isn't Covenant. (Static) Captain Keyes has been captured by hostiles. (static)-dug in at a large structure in a swampy area. We need to pull out. Please-(static)-I will set this message to repeat at-(static)-given interval. Dropship Victor 933, clear.''"
It was sent out with [[Second squad (Pillar of Autumn)|second squad]] and [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes|Keyes]] in hopes of finding a [[Covenant]] weapons cache. A supporting Pelican dropped off [[Fire Team Charlie]] later on. Twelve hours after the last transmission from the Pelican, the [[John-117|Master Chief]] dropped into the swamp aboard [[Echo 419]] and found the wreckage of Victor 933. Apparently, the Pelican had been ambushed on takeoff and crashed. Victor 933's crew then apparently escaped the wreck and the [[Flood|unknown hostiles]] that had downed the Pelican, but were most likely overrun.{{Ref/Novel|TF|Chapter=8}}


The recording is loudest in the back of the passenger bay, by the cockpit. The door leading to the cockpit is closed however, and the message is likely a short-range radio-transmission.
The recording of the distress signal was a short-wave signal. Due to the nature of the emergency, the Pelican's radio may have been damaged.{{Ref/Reuse|343GS}}


The vessel was shot down by the [[Flood]] with repurposed heavy weapons, with the recording saying: "attack by some kind of <u>hostile</u>-(static)-It <u>isn't [[Covenant]]</u>.
==Trivia==
*In earlier builds of Halo: Combat Evolved, the emergency transmission by ''V933'' emits significantly less static, allowing for most of the transmission's dialogue to be heard in full.
*In the level ''[[The Silent Cartographer]]'', ''V933'' doubles as the crashed ''[[Bravo 022]]'' - this is due to the map having used the same Pelican model.
*On the map [[Valhalla]], the Pelican ''[[Victor 398]]'' crash position is exactly the same as ''Victor 933''.

*''[[Halo: The Flood]]''
*''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]''


*In later missions, such as the [[Silent Cartographer]], the body used for Victor 933 is actually the second Pelican which drops off Marine troops. You can see the label V-933 on the side haunch of the dropship. And after you discover the location of the map room and you go out of the structure, you see a pelican downed (the one who brings in a warthog and some rocket launchers), if you see the label on its side, it actually says V933.
