It should be noted that the level the guardian recon team had been on was not the intended floor; the veteran had set the elevator to stop three floors above to evacuate surviving members on that floor. The elevator shaft's electromagnets gave out before they were able to board, causing the elevator to slide down three floors below before. The Fireteam he intended to save went MIA, presumed KIA, and three bodies were found confirmed KIA in subsequent excavations. The remaining fire team likely converted into taken.
