'''Pelican Down''' is the ninth [[campaign]] level in ''[[Halo Infinite]]''.
{{Article quote|Eliminate the Banished gun batteries to escape the island and continue your pursuit of the Harbinger.}}
'''Pelican Down''' is the ninth [[campaign]] main mission in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', under the fourth campaign section "Graveyards". It is a multi-stage mission, which features three [[Kywasky Workshop Gorespike cannon|anti-aircraft gun batteries]] as the main objective.
 
==Overview==
{{Article quote|En route to the second Spire, the Pelican is brought down by [[Banished]] [[Kywasky Workshop Gorespike cannon|anti-aircraft gun batteries]]. [[John-117|Chief]] sets out on foot to disable the guns and is confronted via hologram by [[Escharum]], who reveals that he has sent his best warriors to stop the Chief: the [[Hand of Atriox]], better known to their prey as Spartan Killers. In rapid succession, Chief brings down the AA guns, defeats the Spartan Killers [[Hyperius]] and [[Tovarus]], and retrieves [[Fernando Esparza|the Pilot]] in a graveyard of [[Mulsanne-class light frigate|UNSC ships]]. Reunited, the Pilot, the Weapon, and Master Chief make for the second Spire — and The [[Harbinger]].}}
 
Pelican Down relocks the first two open-world areas until it is complete. Thus, the player must make do with what they have, plus any weapons enemies drop and the five Spartan Cores in the "Graveyard" area. Completing Pelican Down unlocks the third and final open-world area.

*'''John-117''': "Upload the Spire locations."

*'''Pilot''': "No! No!"
 
''The Pelican banks to port and we swing to see the Pilot in his seat as sparks fly from the forward console.''
 
*'''Pilot''': "No no no no!"
 
''The Pelican levels out right in front of another anti-aircraft cannon. It fires, hitting the Pelican. The Pelican makes a half-roll to starboard as the camera swings around to show the pilot.''
 
*'''Pilot''': "This isn't happening...!"
 
''The camera swings around to show the Pelican coming in for a crash landing in a river .''
 
*'''Pilot''': "I'm going to have to make an emergency landing!"
 
''Water splashes up over the cockpit window as the Pelican lands in the shallow river.''
 
*'''Pilot''': "Hold on, Chief."
 
''Out the window, we see the Pelican headed straight for a large piece of debris. As it collides with the debris, the camera swings around to show the Chief and the pilot. The pilot grits his teeth and we hear a faint ''thud''. The screen cuts to black.''
 
''We hear another faint ''thud'' and a soft ringing of the ears. As the screen fades back in, the pilot is unconscious, leaning forward in his seat. The Chief grabs his shoulder and pulls him back. The pilot regains consciousness with a heavy gasp.''
