Surviving members of this unit then traveled to [[Installation 05]] along with John-117 aboard the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}. It is likely all were killed in either the [[Battle of the Quarantine Zone]] or, although unlikely, the [[Fall of High Charity]]. It is also possible that they were attacked by the [[Flood]] as some of the [[Flood combat form|combat forms]] spilled out on the ''In Amber Clad''. | ||

It is | *An early depiction of A Company made an appearance in the [[Halo 2 E3 demo|''Halo 2'' E3 demo]] under the designation "405th", which operated in [[Diego Garcia]]. In the demo, John-117 was greeted by a Corporal named Perez at the Marine command post, and was led to a Sergeant named Banks, who had taken over command after the Lieutenant was incapacitated. | ||
*In ''[[Palace Hotel]]'', the appearance of A Company was replaced by [[Kilo Company]]. ''Palace Hotel'' is of debatable canonicity because it greatly contradicts the events, characters, and locations shown in the ''Halo 2'' level ''[[Metropolis]]'', on which the story is based. | |||
*It is possible that A Company was part of [[E2-BAG/1/7]], a battalion identified in ''Palace Hotel''; earlier in the battle, John-117 encountered and fought alongside members of the battalion's Kilo Company. | |||
