The second Pelican, that is shot down by the Scarab, flies over [[Hotel Zanzibar]] and is spotted by a Special Operations Sangheili. Private O'Brien and the Pelican's [[pilot]]s are killed in the crash, and Sergeant Stacker tells the remaining 3 ODSTs (Butkus, Jones, and Walpole) to grab their tags and ammo.

The Sangheili sends in two Minor Unggoy and a Kig-yar Sniper to engage them, and the sniper nearly hits Butkus. Jones, the squad's sharpshooter, easily takes the Kig-yar out. The Kig-yar's body falls from the ledge and lands next to the two Unggoy, scaring them back to their previous location. The first Unggoy gets by the Sangheili, however, it manages to grab the second one by the neck, then throws it aside. It then activates its [[active camouflage]] and leaps down towards the ODSTs.

The Sangheili takes out its [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]] and slashes at Butkus, connecting with the ODST's [[BR55 Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]] and cleanly severing it. Butkus falls and and grabs a [[Type-25 plasma pistol|Plasma Pistol]], originally in the possession of the Unggoy. The Sangheili then throws a [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|Plasma Grenade]] at Walpole's helmet. Walpole yelps in surprise, takes the helmet off and throws it, and the helmet explodes next to the Sangheili, draining its shields and deactivating his active camouflage. The Sangheili jumps down and grabs Jones using him as a hostage, with the Energy Sword at his throat. Jones tells the ODSTs to take him out, Butkus fires an overcharged Plasma Pistol at Stacker's command and takes out the Sangheili's partially regenerated shields, and Stacker finishes it off with his Battle Rifle. The Sangheili falls and drops its Energy Sword. Slowly, its hand unclenches, deactivating the Energy Sword.

Cortana contacts Stacker and tells him to find a safe spot and that they'll come to him, whilst the ODSTs congregate around the dead Sangheili, with Walpole delivering a swift kick to the corpse.

*Although Stacker doesn't have a helmet, he somehow still hears and replies to Cortana, indicating that the function is carried out by a [[neural interface]] or an earpiece and a throat microphone.
