The second Pelican, which is shot down in the first cutscene of Outskirts, flies over Hotel Zanzibar and is spotted by a Minor Elite. Private O'Brien and the Pelican's pilots are killed in the crash, and Sergeant Stacker tells the 3 remaining ODSTs (Butkus, Jones, and Walpole) to grab their tags and ammo. 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 Elite, with Walpole delivering a swift kick to the corpse.
