When the ''Autumn'' crashed on [[Installation 04]], Charlie 217 was thought to be destroyed, and was listed as [[MIA]] (Missing In Action). In reality, it had actually managed to survive intact, although it was separated from the rest of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] personnel at [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]].{{Ref/Reuse|TF8}}

It was quickly captured by the [[Covenant]], who subsequently killed everyone on board except the pilot, [[Lieutenant]] [[Rick Hale]]. Later, [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] and a team of 30 SpecOps [[Sangheili]] used the captured Pelican as a means to infiltrate Alpha Base to hunt for [[John-117]].{{Ref/Reuse|TF8}}

Before Hale could complete the landing, 'Zamamee killed him and landed it himself. He and the thirty Sangheili, cloaked in [[Active Camouflage]], attacked the crew in the base.{{Ref/Reuse|TF8}} Charlie 217 was destroyed soon after it landed by UNSC personnel.

The wreckage of Charlie 217 was used by [[First Lieutenant]] [[Melissa McKay]] the next day as a trap for Covenant forces. The Covenant that responded fell into the [[Marine]] ambush, a fitting end to the life of the dropship, despite the intervention of the [[Flood]] that followed.{{Ref/Novel|TF|Chapter=9}}
