The Covenant responded by assaulting the convoy with waves of infantry. Though the ODST squad and several Marines attempted to defend the convoy from attacking Covenant forces, a Sangheili Field Master dropped down from his Spirit into the [[M313 Elephant|Elephant]] carrying the Conduit, retrieved the device, and escaped the engagement aboard the dropship.

The squad's mission in New Mombasa was later featured as a training simulation in the [[UNSC Tactical Simulator]], albeit with a lone [[Spartan-IV]] in the place of the ODSTs.{{Ref/Reuse|opa}}
