The Superintendent can also help the Rookie find [[audio log (Halo 3: ODST)|audio logs]]: it raises and lowers traffic blocks, flashes police sirens, rings telephones, manipulates electronic signs, and spits coins out of an ATM. It also makes the player's [[VISR]] produce 'beep'-like sounds when they are close to an audio log. The closer the player gets, it beeps faster, longer or more frequent. The Superintendent also helps the Rookie by granting him access to a map of the city, and highlighting areas of interest, mostly pieces of equipment ("beacons") left by his squad mates. When inspected, these "beacons" will trigger flashback missions, representing the Rookie watching recorded footage, which reveal what happened to the other squad members, one at a time. On this map, red dots represent nearby enemy targets. In gameplay, activating the map and the audio logs does not pause the action around the Rookie and he can still be attacked and killed. | The Superintendent can also help the Rookie find [[audio log (Halo 3: ODST)|audio logs]]: it raises and lowers traffic blocks, flashes police sirens, rings telephones, manipulates electronic signs, and spits coins out of an ATM.

Perhaps as a result of [[Kinsler]]'s pursuit of [[Sadie Endesha]], the Superintendent is noticeably reluctant to cooperate with local police department personnel, sometimes at the expense of military effectiveness. During the ''[[ONI Alpha Site]]'' level, an officer tries to get the AI to grant him access so that he can detonate the demolition charges planted by [[Dutch]] and [[Mickey]] to deny the Covenant easy access to the [[Alpha Site]], only granting Dutch access when he approached the keypad. Another officer, trapped in the tunnels of the Superintendent's data core, was repeatedly denied access until the Rookie approached and was granted access. In the latter case, the Superintendent had a legitimate reason to be suspicious - the officer was checking that Dr [[Endesha]] was dead, and attacked the Rookie to prevent any witnesses to [[Endesha]]'s murder.<ref name="ODST Gameplay">''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''</ref> | Perhaps as a result of [[Kinsler]]'s pursuit of [[Sadie Endesha]], the Superintendent is noticeably reluctant to cooperate with local police department personnel, sometimes at the expense of military effectiveness.

In the [[Keep It Clean (trailer)|"Keep it Clean" teaser]], the Superintendent sees the Rookie's [[M8900 drop pod]] crash land. After the Rookie gets out off his pod, the Superintendent flashes holographic street signs, pointing the Rookie towards safety. | In the [[Keep It Clean (trailer)|"Keep it Clean" teaser]], the Superintendent sees the Rookie's [[M8900 drop pod]] crash land.
