The facility remained in UNSC hands part way through the [[Battle of Mombasa]]. The site was defended by a [[New Mombasa Police Department]] detachment after the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s departure from the city. The police officers were joined several hours later by [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] [[Mickey|Michael "Mickey" Crespo]] and [[Dutch|Taylor H. "Dutch" Miles]]; the troopers were separated from their [[Dare's Squad|squad]]. | |||

The bridge's destruction forced the assault to rely on troops ferried in by [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantoms]]. The defenders fell back to the security zone before making a fighting withdrawal into the main structure. The destruction of the bridge and the ensuing battle led to heavy casualties on both sides. | ||
The local NMPD commander ordered the structure destroyed to deny the enemy both ONI's data and access to the Superintendent. The structure was rigged with remote-detonated charges. A police [[D77C-NMPD Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] was dispatched to evacuate remaining UNSC troops. Officers and troopers held inside the structure while they waited for the transport.
