After some confusion, the team arrives at Point Bravo, which turns out to be the Mombasa Zoo. Finding nothing there, Sarge has the team build a defensive perimeter, but in the process is kidnapped by Covenant. The team calls the ''Ownage'' from help, and they send down Lt. Angel, an ONI officer who leads the team in Sarge's absence. She uses her personal AI ODYNE to track Sarge's IFF tag, which points to the New Mombasa Dairy. | After some confusion, the team arrives at Point Bravo, which turns out to be the Mombasa Zoo.

The team arrives, and Steve distracts the Grunts guarding the dairy while the rest of the troopers head inside. But a Scarab arrives to attack the Grunts and troopers, leaving Steve alone to fight it. He holds it off with a Bubble Shield, but then finds his Spartan Lasers are out of ammo. The Scarab fires at him, melting the floor beneath his feet. Steve is sent falling down below, where the team is held up by Men-Dhi and his fuel rod gun. He crashes into Men-Dhi and continues falling, eventually landing in a deeper bunker. | The team arrives, and Steve distracts the Grunts guarding the dairy while the rest of the troopers head inside.

Sunef teams up with Delta Squad to defeat the Scarab, since its attack could blow up the bombs. He charges at it with en energy sword while the ODSTs flank it with a Warthog and Mongoose, but the Scarab deal with them quickly. Just in time, though, Steve arrives in a mecha suit, and singlehandedly blows up the Scarab and its crew. | Sunef teams up with Delta Squad to defeat the Scarab, since its attack could blow up the bombs.
