==Synopsis==
==Synopsis==
The short film follows two [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC]] [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] fighting across a wasteland, being engaged by [[Covenant]] forces led by [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]]. The film starts off with two ODSTs of [[2nd Shock Troops Battalion#Subordinate Units|Alpha Team]], Bravo-21 ([[T. Rymann]]) and Bravo-22 ([[S. Hartley]]), being tracked on an aerial camera as they move through a wasteland with gunfire going off around them along with several [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] [[fuel rod]] strikes closely missing them.

The short film follows two [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC]] [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s fighting across a wasteland, being engaged by [[Covenant Loyalist]] forces, led by the [[Jiralhanae]]. The film starts off with two ODSTs of [[Alpha Team]], Bravo-21 ([[T. Rymarr]]) and Bravo-22 ([[S. Hartley]]), being tracked on an aerial camera as they move through a wasteland with gunfire going off around them along with several [[Banshee]] [[Fuel Rod]] strikes closely missing them.  


Bravo-22 is tracking something on a hand-held scanner, and retrieves an elongated casing labeled "UNSC" from under a pile of debris while Bravo-21 gives him covering fire against fast-moving enemies. Superheated metal spikes impale the wall that they are near as a pair of [[Jiralhanae Minor|Brute Minors]] open fire with [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker|Spike Rifles]]. Bravo-21 shoots them both with his [[BR55 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle|BR55HB SR battle rifle]], downing one as Bravo-22 calls for evacuation, prompting a [[D77H-TCI Pelican]] dropship to begin its descent to their position as Bravo-21 kills the second Brute with his battle rifle.

Bravo-21 is almost killed by a [[fuel rod cannon]] strike from a strafing Banshee. The Pelican drops off a [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle]], prompting the ODSTs to make a run for it in the middle of an exposed area. Bravo-21 takes the driver's seat while Bravo-22 takes the passenger seat. Bravo-22 is then hit from an unknown source of fire, splattering smears of blood against the Warthog's windshield and the camera.

''Open up on a black and white thermal live feed of two ODSTs running. Radio chatter can be heard in the background.''
 
''Cut to the two ODSTs running in parallel to a wall.''
 
*'''Bravo-22:''' "Fifteen meters ahead, turn right!"
 
*'''Radio Operator (COM):''' "You got Banshees moving in on your position, Team Two."
 
''The ODSTs reach the end of the wall. They pause briefly.''
 
*'''Bravo-22:''' "East, ten meters. Go, go, go!"
 
''The ODSTs move around the corner.''
 
''Cut to a shot of a group of Brutes advancing.''
 
''Cut back to the ODSTs who are still running. A fuel rod shot impacts a wall. Banshees fly overhead. The ODSTs come to another corner.''
 
*'''Radio Operator (COM):''' "Watch out for Brutes, Alpha Team."
 
''The other ODST, Bravo-21, takes up a defensive position, covering for Bravo-22. A single Brute runs by, not noticing him.''
 
''Cut to an overhead shot of Bravo-22 searching some nearby rubble. He eventually finds a large case. Bravo-22 picks up the case and moves back to join Bravo-21.''
 
*'''Bravo-22:''' "Bingo. Got it!"
 
''Brute [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker]] rounds suddenly whiz past the ODSTs, and embed themselves in the wall. Bravo-21 returns fire, killing one of the two attacking Brutes. The other Brute continues firing its Spiker.''
 
''Meanwhile Bravo-22 radios for assistance.''


*'''Bravo-22:''' "Package retrieved; need immediate evac, over. Package retrieved."
{Radio Chatter}


*'''Pelican pilot (COM):''' "Roger that, Team Two. Warthog inbound."
'''Bravo-22: '''Fifteen meters ahead, turn right.


''Pelican starts to descend.''
'''Male over radio:''' You got Banshees moving in on your position, Team Two.


''Bravo-21 fires his weapon at the remaining Brute.''  
'''Bravo-22:''' East, ten meters. Go, go, go!


*'''Bravo-21:''' "Come on, sucker!"
(Brute Chatter)


''The Brute goes down.  Seconds later, a Banshee swoops down and fires its fuel rod cannon. The bolt impacts nearby. The ODSTs are knocked off their feet.''
'''Male over radio:''' Watch out for Brutes, Alpha Team.


*'''Bravo-21:''' "Ooh!"
(Radio Chatter)


''The ODSTs get back up and return fire with their battle rifles.''
'''Bravo-22:''' Bingo. Got it.


''The Pelican arrives and drops off its Warthog. Brute spiker rounds fired from offscreen hit a nearby wall.''
(Radio Chatter)


*'''Bravo-21:''' "Move, move! Go! Go! Go!"
'''Bravo-22: '''Package retrieved; need immediate evac, over. Package retrieved.


''The two ODSTs make a run for the Warthog. An overhead camera shot shows them entering the Warthog and driving off. The two Brutes they killed earlier are marked with orange indicator tags labeled "Threat Neutralized".''
'''Pelican pilot: '''Roger that, Team Two. Warthog inbound.


''Cut to another camera vid (CAM 3) of the two ODSTs driving the Warthog.  The names of the two ODSTs are displayed: T. Rymann (Bravo-21), and S. Hartley (Bravo-22).''
'''Bravo-21:''' Come on, sucker!


*'''Bravo-21:''' "Bravo Kilos moving west."
'''Bravo-21:''' Ooh!


*'''Female voice (Possibly Warthog AI):''' "Caution, incoming fighters."
'''Bravo-21: '''Move move. Go! Go! Go!


''Banshees fly overhead. A fuel rod shot impacts nearby. The Warthog is forced to make a sharp swerve.''
'''Bravo-21: '''Bravo Kilos moving west.


*'''Bravo-21:''' "Come on!"
'''Female voice (Possibly Warthog AI):''' Caution, incoming fighters.


''A Brute spiker round hits Bravo-22. Blood splatters along the window.''
'''Bravo-21:''' Come on!


*'''Bravo-22:''' "Aah! I'm hit!"
'''Bravo-22:''' Aah! I'm hit!


*'''Bravo-21:''' "Suck it up!"
'''Bravo-21: '''Suck it up!


''Another Banshee flies overhead and fires a fuel rod shot. It misses.''
(Biomonitors starts to beep)


''Cut to Bravo-22's HUD. The warning message "INJURED" flashes in the upper right-hand corner.''
(Radio Chatter)


''The Warthog plows through a wall. Video feed from Bravo-22's helmet erupts into static.''
(Bravo-21 yells as the Warthog plows into a wall.)

*At the 1:22 mark, on the right hand side of the screen, 13 black shapes (kill tags) can be seen on the Warthog's windshield: eight [[Unggoy|Grunts]], three [[Sangheili|Elites]] (likely given that the Warthog was in service before the [[Great Schism]]), and two Brutes.

*Although the battle takes place during the second Covenant invasion of Earth, the date on the camera says that it is September 12, 2534 at 1:00 AM, which puts it almost 20 years prior to the [[Battle of Earth|invasion]] of [[Earth]]. This is obviously a production error.

*The BR55HB SR rifles that the Marines and ODSTs use are equipped with flashlights and laser modules. They are also equipped with a fully automatic firing mode, which has not been seen elsewhere.
