'''Kikowani Station''' is an [[New Mombasa Transit Authority|NMTA]] [[Maglev train|Maglev]] train station part of the [[New Mombasa MagLev train network]]. It was located in the [[New Mombasa city center|city center]] of [[New Mombasa]], [[Kenya]].{{Ref/Game|Id=circle1arc1|H3ODST|[[Audio log (Halo 3: ODST)|Audio Log]] - [[Sadie's Story]], Circle 1, Arc 1}} The station could be accessed from [[New Mombasa Sector 0|Sector 0]] at street level.{{Ref/Level|Id=streetslevel|H3ODST|Mombasa Streets}}

==History==
On October 20, 2552, [[Sadie Endesha]] purchased a train ticket at Kikowani Station bound for [[Old Mombasa]]. She boarded train 14 and then departed.{{Ref/Reuse|circle1arc1}}

Early during the [[Covenant]] [[Battle of Mombasa|invasion of the city]] in the [[Battle for Earth]], seven [[Huragok]] managed to escape their [[Jiralhanae]] handlers in Kikowani. Six of them attempted to remove an explosive device from the seventh Huragok, [[Quick to Adjust]],{{Ref/Game|H3ODST|Audio Log - Sadie's Story, Circle 6, Arc 2}} they accidentally triggered the device. All but the seventh Huragok were killed.{{Ref/Game|H3ODST|Audio Log - Sadie's Story, Circle 6, Arc 3}}

Commissioner [[Kinsler]] had a private train parked at Platform 9, waiting for Sadie Endesha. A crowd formed on the platforms, trying to board the train, as the Covenant bombarded the station.{{Ref/Game|Id=circle9|H3ODST|Audio Log - Sadie's Story, Circle 9, Arc 2}} With the help of the Quick to Adjust and [[Vergil]], the crowd boarded the train and killed Kinsler{{Ref/Game|H3ODST|Sadie's Story, Circle 9, Arc 5}}. Then, with Sadie and [[Mike Branley]], the civilians departed for Old Mombasa.{{Ref/Game|H3ODST|Sadie's Story, Circle 9, Arc 6}}

By the evening, the station's surroundings, including the train tunnels, were flooded by water. This prevented the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] squad [[Alpha-Nine]] from escaping the city through the train tunnels. Instead, the squad stole a Covenant [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] that landed in the station and used it to fly to safety.{{Ref/Level|Id=kikowani|H3ODST|Kikowani Station}} An hour later, Alpha-Nine's missing squadmate [[Jonathan Doherty]] arrived at the entrance of Kikowani Station and found the [[biofoam]] canister that had been used to treat [[Kojo Agu|Romeo]]'s injuries before moving on.{{Ref/Reuse|streetslevel}}
