From a camera below the Superintendent watches two [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOEIVs]] drop in, one of them bounces off a building, deflects into a second and crashes upside down, the other pod goes straight behind the second building.

*Oddly, Buck has a radio conversation with Dare at the beginning of the level despite getting hit with an EMP just before he landed. If the EMP had been able to disable Buck's drop pod, it should have also shorted his radio. It is possible that he was using his HUD radio to communicate rather than the one in the pod. | *Oddly, Buck has a radio conversation with Dare at the beginning of the level despite getting hit with an EMP just before he landed.

*The "family feud" noted by Buck and the dead Elites encountered are due to the fact that just after the [[Prophet of Regret]] jumped away, reinforcements sent by the [[Prophet of Truth]] arrived and assumed control over the battle. The Brutes not only overtook the Elites previously in command but also executed any Elites stationed on and above the planet. This was a part of Truth's complex socio-political scheme for the Covenant that would culminate with the beginning of the [[Great Schism]] two weeks later.<ref>''[[Halo Waypoint]], "'''Ten Twenty'''" history article''</ref> | *The "family feud" noted by Buck and the dead Elites encountered are due to the fact that just after the [[Prophet of Regret]] jumped away, reinforcements sent by the [[Prophet of Truth]] arrived and assumed control over the battle.
