Death to rank junkies.
I've been wondering...in the gameplay we've seen of the campaign, when the player gets to the ONI Alpha Site, there are two Phantoms circling it. Does this mean there are human survivors, like Dutch and Mickey?
It's possible that they could be elsewhere at that point. Bungie said that some characters would be getting more than one flashback, and Mickey or Dutch could have an extra one detailing their escape.
That is what you will find out in the flashback or after.
That building was up in flames, probably blown up by Mickey. To prevent the Covenant from getting their hands on something. Covenant may be trying to scavenge what they can.
