''' | '''Fire Team Zulu''' was a [[United Nations Space Command]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] unit stationed aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} that actively participated in the [[Battle of Installation 04]]. They encountered [[SPARTAN-II|Spartan]] [[John-117]] about a third the way through the [[Assault on the Control Room]], when he stepped out onto a bridge spanning a large valley. | ||

The [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] that transported Fire Team Zulu was attacked by [[Covenant]] [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] on its descent to drop off the [[Fireteam|Fire Team]]. After deploying the troops, along with a [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]], the drop ship flew out of view into the next valley where it was later found crashed into the valley wall. The crash was not witnessed by John-117, but it is assumed that it was due to the damage sustained from the Banshee attack (seen on [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]] difficulties).<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 179''</ref> Fire Team Zulu was equipped with several [[Human weaponry|weapons]], including multiple [[MA5B assault rifle]]s, an [[M41 SPNKR|M41 rocket launcher]], and an [[Sniper Rifle System 99C-S2 Anti-Matériel|SRS99C-S2 sniper rifle]]. John-117, upon meeting up with the Fire Team, helped destroy a [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost]], a couple of [[Shade]] turrets, and with a Marine manning the Warthog's [[M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun|turret]], destroyed a nearby [[Type-26 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]] guarding the valley.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 182-184''</ref> | |||
A [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpion tank]] was present near the dropship's apparent crash site in the next valley,<ref name="CE"/> but it does not seem likely to have been brought in by Fire Team Zulu, as a Pelican can only lift a Scorpion ''or'' a Warthog due to the Pelican's rear hitch payload capacity and the size of the vehicles. Additionally, the Fire Team Zulu Pelican can be seen carrying a Warthog from the bridge. The tank was presumably brought in earlier by another Marine unit. | |||
Later, the Master Chief encountered surviving Marines from a previous mission, much to [[Cortana]]'s surprise.<ref name="CE"/> | |||
Fire Team Zulu then assisted John-117 as he fought his way through the valleys. When the Master Chief had to ascend the final main valley in order to cross a pair of bridges overlooking the valley, they did not follow because evac had become available.<ref name="CE"/> | |||
==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the voice of [[Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]] issues from the Pelican, calling for assistance. This is not possible because he was in the swamp near the [[Flood containment facility]] with [[Jacob Keyes|Captain Keyes]] at the time. Most likely, the voice heard in-game belongs to the voice actor of Johnson, but was intended to represent the voice of another character. Alternatively, Bungie only created two sergeant models, so they had no choice but to place Johnson into the level. | *In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the voice of [[Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]] issues from the Pelican, calling for assistance.

*When the Pelican first landed, there were already Marines deployed in the area, along with an extra Warthog. The Marines that were already there do not seem to react to friendly forces or enemies and will just stand there. If the player manages to get down to their location (using [[Assault on the Control Room|a glitch]] or with mods) and shoot them, the other Marines that came out of the Pelican will turn on the player. The Marines that descend from the Pelican are normal and will move and react to friends and enemies. | *When the Pelican first landed, there were already Marines deployed in the area, along with an extra Warthog.

*The player can, with some luck and skill, board the Pelican when it flies over the bridge in the beginning of the level. When it flies to the second valley, one can clearly see a crashed Pelican, and the flying Pelican will crash to somewhere further on. | |||
