It landed on the [[Old Mombasa]] beach, from where the squad fought their way<ref>[[Another Day at the Beach]]</ref> to the nearby [[Hotel Zanzibar]]. Unfortunately for them, the Covenant decided to station a command post in the nearby buildings, and the squad was attacked by large amounts of Covenant. Luckily for them, the Chief was able to rescue them in time by attacking the Covenant forces from the opposite direction. The squad then helped the [[Master Chief]] to push back to the beach in order to clear a path to the [[New Mombasa|City Center]].
