Atop the large plateau where you have to clear out the Covenant and fight the [[Lich]], there is a downed pelican resting near a large, rocky elevation. If you check behind the pelican's troop bay, you'll find the radio waiting for activation. Later, when [[Fireteam Crimson]] must aboard the Lich using some [[Portable jump-jet|jetpacks]], Freelancer Agent Georgia will say "Cool, jetpacks! That would help us to aboard that ship or my name isn't Agent Georgia". This references to a running gag found in Red vs. Blue Season 10, in which Agent Georgia was involved in a terrible incident, apparently due to not following "course correction" while using a jetpack, to which his body was never found. In addition, this Easter Egg is highly reminiscent of [[James-005]]'s fate. | ||

*The Lich's core can be seen attached on the player's back after taking it from the Lich. This is similar to how [[The Package (data storage unit)|Cortana's data storage unit]] could be seen on [[SPARTAN-B312]]'s back on the ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''. | *The Lich's core can be seen attached on the player's back after taking it from the Lich.
