- "A Vulture? Well that explains the debris back there."
"A Vulture went down on Pahanu?"
"You've found 144B. It went down shortly before I arrived on Galangi. It was loaded with the initial DeeBee force to lead our charge into the bunker." - —Leslie Macallister, Lahni Kaliso and Hana Cole discussing the wreckage
Vulture 144B was a Vulture sent to carry the inital DeeBee force to lead the charge into the Sanctum bunker on Pahanu.
History[]
Swarm Invasion[]
Hivebuster Offensive[]
When Colonel Victor Hoffman suggested an operation to destroy Swarm Hives from the inside, First Minister Mina Jinn insisted on the DeeBees being able to handle the Swarm, leading to Hoffman's forced retirement. Hoffman started a rogue operation which included some DeeBee support. Vulture 144B carried the initial DeeBee force to lead the charge into the Sanctum bunker, but went down on Pahanu shortly before Doctor Hana Cole arrived on Galangi. The Vulture contained a data drive with a message from Major Donneld Mathieson to Hoffman on his proposed makeup for Team Scorpio. The data on the drive was accessed remotely after the crash, presumably by Hoffman.[1]
Mission to the Wakaatu Nest[]
During the Mission to the Wakaatu Nest, Team Scorpio came across pieces of wreckage in the Pahanu jungle before finding the wreckage of the Vulture itself. Hana identified it as Vulture 144B and Scorpio decided to try to recruit the DeeBees to their cause. However, as Scorpio attempted to board the Vulture, the DeeBees began attacking due to following their default directive to protect COG property, forcing Scorpio to destroy them instead. Entering the wreckage, Scorpio took down several more DeeBees, though a few remained suspended in their restraints. Opening the rear hatch, Scorpio dispatched more DeeBees outside and collected weapons and supplies before continuing on, discovering several more DeeBees from the crash fighting the Swarm nearby.[1]
