The data center consisted of ten sublevels, with the most crucial facilities on the lowest level. The facility had a fire containment system, that if activated, would flood any section in the data center with freezing [[argon]] gas. Sublevels seven, eight and nine mainly housed maintenance tunnels and rooms, retractable data stacks and other similar facilities. The office of [[Endesha|Dr. Endesha]], the scientist responsible for managing the Superintendent, was located on Sublevel 9.<ref name="hive"/> | The data center consisted of ten sublevels, with the most crucial facilities on the lowest level.

The [[Superintendent]]'s main data core was located in the lowest level, Sublevel 10, inside a massive cavern and suspended over an underground lake. The data core was directly below the [[ONI Alpha Site]]'s main building, with a deep shaft connecting them. Sublevel 10 also housed massive power junctures.<ref name="hive"/> | The [[Superintendent]]'s main data core was located in the lowest level, Sublevel 10, inside a massive cavern and suspended over an underground lake.

The Data Center's construction was overseen by [[Dr. Endesha]].<ref name="sadie"/> At the onset of the [[Battle of Mombasa]], Dr. Endesha was in his office inside the Data Center and continued to stay there over the course of the battle, much to the distress of his daughter [[Sadie Endesha|Sadie]], who was determined to come and retrieve him before escaping the city. During the battle, the doctor observed a group of [[Huragok]] free [[Quick to Adjust|one of their own]] of its explosive harness, with the rest sacrificing themselves in the process. The lone surviving Huragok eventually made its way into the Superintendent's core and started to repair it, eventually saving the AI's [[Vergil]] subroutine by fusing it with itself. Dr. Endesha was killed when [[New Mombasa Police Department|NMPD]]'s Commissioner [[Kinsler]] activated the facility's fire containment system with a [[M7057/Defoliant Projector|flamethrower]], flooding the facility's Sublevel 9 with argon.<ref name="sadie"/> During the battle, [[Yanme'e]] built hives into the central cavern of Sublevel 10.<ref name="hive"/> | The Data Center's construction was overseen by [[Daniel Endesha|Dr. Endesha]].<ref name="sadie"/> At the onset of the [[Battle of Mombasa]], Dr. Endesha was in his office inside the Data Center and continued to stay there over the course of the battle, much to the distress of his daughter [[Sadie Endesha|Sadie]], who was determined to come and retrieve him before escaping the city.

Kinsler sent a team of NMPD officers to make sure the Doctor was dead, and then retrieve the Superintendent's data. Eventually, only [[Unnamed NMPD Officer|one officer]] survived. He was later encountered by an [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODST]] known as [[the Rookie]], who had arrived in the Data Center to find [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Veronica Dare|Dare]], who was holding position in Sublevel 9. The officer was later killed, but the Rookie made his way to Dare's position, and they successfully escaped after retrieving the Huragok who had fused its data with the Superintendent. After this, the facility fell under Covenant control.<ref name="hive"/><ref name="epilogue"/> | Kinsler sent a team of NMPD officers to make sure the Doctor was dead, and then retrieve the Superintendent's data.
