Initially, this [[Battle of Seoba#Operation: ICE DANCE|mission]] had been formulated to train the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODST]]s and Spartans for rapid deployment. However, insurrectionist activity had been detected in the quarry. By the order of [[Colonel]] [[Marmon Crowther]], the prowlers continued their deployment runs with the intent to take the quarry for themselves as they prepared to ambush the [[Covenant]], who were believed to be targeting Biko next.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS7}} | ||
As the first four ODSTs dove through the jump hatch, they were instantly torn to shreds by the [[12.7×99mm Armor-Piercing|armor-piercing rounds]] spewed from multiple [[M41 Vulcan]] emplacements. The next team of four ODSTs did not hesitate as they jumped next, and were similarly turned to bloody ribbons. [[Lieutenant]] [[Nelly Hamm]], the platoon leader, ordered her men to abort the jump as John moved forward to peer out of the hatch at their assailants below. After a brief discussion on what to do next, John took the initiative and jumped from the prowler with his [[M41 SPNKR|rocket launcher]] in hand, ignoring Hamm's protests. After [[Blue Team]] softened up the insurgents' weapon emplacements, the ''Ghost Song'' and the rest of Ghost Flight's prowlers performed strafing runs on the defenders until they were low on ammunition and the {{UNSCShip|Ghost Star}} was shot down.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS8}} | |||
