The recording of the distress signal 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, as it can be heard only in a short radius around the [[Pelican]].
The recording of the distress signal was a short-wave signal. Due to the nature of the emergency, the Pelicans Radio may have been damaged as otherwise it would have contacted Alpha Base for reinforcements.

*In earlier missions, such as the [[Silent Cartographer]], the body used for Victor 933 is actually [[Bravo 022]], the second Pelican which drops off Marine troops. You can see the label V-933 on the side haunch of the dropship. 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.
*In the level "[[The Silent Cartographer (Level)|Silent Cartographer]], V933 doubles as both the second Pelcian dropping off marines at the start of the level, and the crashed [[Bravo 022]]. Though both are likely the same dropship.

History

Victor 933 was a United Nations Space Command Pelican dropship attached to the UNSC 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 as a transport. It appears however, that the Marines did not take any of the heavier UNSC weaponry. The Easy Dificulty showed a Shotgun, but only Normal is canon. The wreckage is found near the beginning of the level 343 Guilty Spark.

It was sent out with Captain Jacob Keyes, Fire Team Charlie and 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.

The recording of the distress signal was a short-wave signal. Due to the nature of the emergency, the Pelicans Radio may have been damaged as otherwise it would have contacted Alpha Base for reinforcements.

Trivia

  • In the level "Silent Cartographer, V933 doubles as both the second Pelcian dropping off marines at the start of the level, and the crashed Bravo 022. Though both are likely the same dropship.
