Buck abandoned Dare's original mission, initially thinking her to be dead, and focused on reuniting with his squad and evacuating the city. He and Romeo eventually made their way to the building housing the [[New Mombasa Police Department]]'s [[NMPD Headquarters|headquarters]], where he made contact with [[Taylor H. Miles|Dutch]] and [[Michael Crespo|Mickey]] via an NMPD officer. Dutch and Mickey, who were at the [[ONI Alpha Site]], offered Buck an air evac. via a Pelican. On the way to the landing zone, Buck tried to contact [[the Rookie]], but received no response. | Buck abandoned Dare's original mission, initially thinking her to be dead, and focused on reuniting with his squad and evacuating the city.

When Dutch and Mickey's [[D77C-NMPD Pelican|dropship]] arrived at the NMPD headquarters, it was ambushed and shot down by two patrolling [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]]. Romeo and Buck then moved through the NMPD Headquarters to find and rescue their squadmates on top of a neighboring skyscraper, defending it from waves of Covenant aircraft and infantry assaults. During the ensuing fight, a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] badly wounded Romeo with its [[Type-2 Energy Weapon/Hammer|gravity hammer]], puncturing one of his lungs with its hind-blade, before being fatally stabbed in the neck by Buck.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[NMPD HQ (level)|NMPD HQ]]''</ref> Buck then led the other ODSTs to [[Kikowani Station]], intending to take the train out of the city, but found that the train tunnels had been flooded.

He decided to steal a Phantom dropship to escape the city, killing many Huragok in their [[Huragok recharge station|recharge stations]] on the way out. They encountered a [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarab]] as well, which Buck destroyed. After finally making it out of the city, he realized where Dare might be and ordered Mickey to fly the captured Phantom back into the city.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[Kikowani Station (level)|Kikowani Station]]''</ref> | ||

When he neared the Data Center's infrastructure, he was reunited with Dare, The Rookie, and the [[Quick to Adjust|Huragok]] that had absorbed the Superintendent's subroutine, [[Vergil]]. Unaware as to the importance of the Huragok, he had a quick conversation with Dare as to why Vergil was so important, letting slip to Dare that he had killed "one or two" Huragok on the way, much to her annoyance. After finally making it to the [[elevator]], Dare punched Buck in the face, for "abandoning the mission"; a furious Buck complained that she had been [[missing in action]], and that his squad was scattered only to be cut off by Dare, who gave him a passionate kiss for "coming back". Remembering the Rookie and Vergil were present, and that they were rather awkwardly watching, he congratulated the former on doing a good job.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[Data Hive]]''</ref> | ||
After battling through a Covenant outpost, and boarding another elevator for the highway, the presence of the Covenant fleet was revealed to Dare. Irritated that Buck had neglected to inform her of the fleet, the two began arguing again, Buck protested that he had been preoccupied with keeping the helpless Vergil alive. Taking the gunner position on various [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]]s and a [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpion tank]], Buck and the Rookie covered Dare and Vergil's [[M312 Heavy Recovery Vehicle#Olifant|Olifant]], which they commandeered, down the coastal highway, witnessing the arrival of more Covenant ships — including two assault carriers — and marveling at their size. When the first carrier started to [[Glassing|glass]] the city, he was reminded of Reach and briefly began to panic before Dare calmed him down. The Olifant was later severely damaged by a Scarab. Knowing that the Covenant had glassed the highway farther along, Buck ordered Mickey to meet them at the entrance to the [[Uplift Nature Reserve]]. | After battling through a Covenant outpost, and boarding another elevator for the highway, the presence of the Covenant fleet was revealed to Dare.
