In the dawn of the 24th century, Mombasa was chosen to be Earth's first [[Space elevator|tether]] city. Consequently, the island-city transformed into the hi-tech metropolis of New Mombasa, while large portions of its old population migrated to the mainland towns. By 2430, most of the surrounding towns had effectively become part of the Mombasa urban area, collectively referred to as "Old Mombasa". The switch was never official and many of the neighborhoods within direct line of sight to the Mombasa Tether still distribute newspapers and [[chatter]] directories under their "old" names. | In the dawn of the 24th century, Mombasa was chosen to be Earth's first [[Space elevator|tether]] city.

Old Mombasa's architecture is an odd hodgepodge of old and new: 16th-century Muslim arcades, aging 21st-century office buildings, looming 26th-century power couplings. Old concrete homes secured with computerized locks. Clotheslines strung next to power lines. Mechanical gates set into ancient brick walls. | Old Mombasa's architecture is an odd hodgepodge of old and new: 16th-century Muslim arcades, aging 21st-century office buildings, looming 26th-century power couplings.
