consider the fact that when the ODST squad was jumping they were trying to land on the carrier. but then Dare "adjusted" the trajectory, meaning she changed the direction. now if you used your brain to picture the carrier continuing on(just imagine it didn't jump), and compared it with the ODSTs' movement speed and direction, they were going to land in water. buck was right when he said "were going to miss the carrier".
so was she trying to kill the squad?
i say...yes
I would like to disagree.
Buck knew Dare before they were chosen by her to be taken under her command.
During the drop, if you didn't notice, the other troopers thought that they were going to land on the cruiser but did not. The coordinates were changed because their original mission was to touchdown on the ONI Alpha site/base and defend it from the Covenant/Brute forces. The trajectory/coordinates were changed because Dare had a hidden agenda that only she and Buck seemed to know. The squad was going to land on or close the site so they can get the intended objective done.
The boarding of Regret's cruiser was just a cover up story so that Dare can proceed with her real agenda, which was to extract the Forerunner data on Earth in the ONI Alpha site/base database before the Covenant/Brute can find it and proceed with their great journey of activating the rings. To assure this, the Alpha Site was destroyed so that there was no information for the Covenant to retrieve, but later on in Halo 3, Truth does find the artifact data, which helps his great journey. During the event of the data extract, the ODST squad is seen defending outside of the perimeter, holding off the Covenant as long as they can for Dare.
Just take a moment and really think about it. Refer to the cutscenes displayed at E3 and put the puzzles together.
The dropping above Regret's cruiser.
Dare handpicked her ODSTs.
The cutscene of the burning ONI Alpha site.
The perspective of Buck and the defense outside the site.try to imagin the carier was still moving, but didnt jump. now try to image were the ODSTs' were going to land when the kept going. they were going to land in water, the alpha site was not in the path of the pods. water was.
