:::I'm not sure it's feasible to replace the Mombasa tether - with a giant Forerunner artefact, probably highly classified and with restricted access, and the resulting sensitivity to Covenant attack, I imagine the UNSC would discourage the kind of traffic a tether would service. Not to mention, with a large part of East Africa glassed by 'Vadum, there shouldn't be anywhere nearby ''to'' service. Unless it's a dedicated military tether? It could concievably be set post-Metropolis, pre-ODST, after the tether was damaged by Regret's slipspace jump. Otherwise, I'd go with an early phase of construction. -- [[User:Morhek|Qura 'Morhek]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|The Autocrat]] [[User talk:Specops306|of Morheka]] 04:36, 18 November 2014 (EST)

Pelicans can be seen flying supplies to the top of the tether on a regular basis, suggesting construction. Besides, there's no evidence of battle or its aftermath. Given the {{Plain|[http://www.distancefromto.net/between/Zanzibar/Mombasa distance between Zanzibar and Mombasa]}}, it's safe to say the city in question is not Mombasa.

I agree that it makes little sense to rebuild Mombasa given its proximity to the Excession, not to mention the Flood incursion. However, we know ''someone'' made [[Project Rebirth|plans to do it]]. I like to think the UEG and/or UNSC shut the project down before it could get underway. --[[User:Braidenvl|'''''Our vengeance is at hand.''''']] [[File:Gravemind.svg|14px]] ([[User talk:Braidenvl|Talk to me.]]) 11:35, 18 November 2014 (EST)
