The music playing during the Pelican ride with Sergeant Johnson and the Marines is known as "flip music", titled [[Shreddin']], from the game ''Marathon: Durandal'', another Bungie creation rather than their previously planned licensed song which was going to be "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones. The pilot of the Pelican was voiced by [[Lorraine McLees]].{{Ref/Reuse|Commentary}} The dead Sangheili seen in the recording was specifically made for the cutscene due to it having its own file and model. Similarly, there is a unique Flood Pod infector used for Jenkin's recording cutscene. In the game's code, it is called a "nopop" and is specifically designed not to pop in the cutscene. | ||

The player must then move past a bit of geometry (there is a line in the floor) but taking care not to move too far towards the wall or else the player will fall back down.

* | *When inside the structure and when you get to the room with the gun turrets, throw a plasma grenade under one of the gun turrets. If you get it just right the gun turret will blast up to the higher level of the room. Then after you've gotten past the spooked marine and your on the higher level, melee the gun turret over to the door that you just came out of and get the back leg in the door. then proceed with the level. When you come back, the door you meleed the gun turret into will be partially opened. Give the gun one more melee and it will start shaking. get into the turret and turn it so that the right is facing the door then get out of the turret and you will be in a hallway (this might take a few tries) then go through the hallway to get to a secret room! (Warning: there is flood in here.) | ||
