After the UNSC reclaimed the Covenant landing zone in Uplift Reserve, defending the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[ONI Alpha Site|local headquarters]] became the top priority. Ninety minutes after the slipspace event, Marines began falling back to the building as advancing Covenant Wraith convoys prepared to lay siege to Alpha Site. The Marines were forced to fight through enemy forces in the [[Kizingo Boulevard|Boulevard]] that led to the ONI site before falling back further into the ONI complex.<ref name="kizingoboulevard">''Halo 3: ODST'', campaign level, [[Kizingo Boulevard]]</ref> | After the UNSC reclaimed the Covenant landing zone in Uplift Reserve, defending the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[ONI Alpha Site (location)|local headquarters]] became the top priority.

By nightfall, nearly all human forces in the city had either been evacuated or destroyed. Among the few survivors were the members of Buck's ODST squad, who arrived at [[Kikowani Station]] near the city's northeastern seawall, only to realize that the station, as well as [[Kikowani|its surroundings]] had been flooded by [[water]], making escape through train tunnels impossible. The squad decided to hijack a Phantom dropship, in which they succeeded. Buck escorted the rest of the squad through the flooded sections of the city in a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]]. The area was filled with Covenant forces, including a [[Type-47B Scarab|Scarab]]. After destroying the Scarab, they managed to fly out of the city, when Buck suddenly realized he knew where Captain Dare was and decided to go back to find her, inside the Superintendent's [[New Mombasa Data Center|data center]]. During the battle, arriving Covenant cruisers began excavating the area around the crater created by the slipspace rupture.<ref name="kikowanistation">''Halo 3: ODST'', campaign level, [[Kikowani Station (level)|Kikowani Station]]</ref> | By nightfall, nearly all human forces in the city had either been evacuated or destroyed.

Around the same time, a lone ODST only known as "[[the Rookie]]", thought dead by the rest of the squad, woke up in his pod, on the edge of a rooftop in [[Mbaraki]]. The city was already occupied by the Covenant, with no UNSC resistance left. The Superintendent aided the Rookie to survive in the city and look for clues for what happened to his squad. Upon finding objects related to his squad, he envisioned what had happened to them over the course of the day. After wandering around the city for a while, the Rookie received a distress message from Dare, who was inside the Superintendent's data facility deep under the city. He made his way to a subway entrance, and descended down an elevator shaft, to Sublevel 7 of the data center.<ref name="mombasastreets">''Halo 3: ODST'', campaign level, [[Mombasa Streets]]</ref> At this point, the underground tunnels had become infested with [[Yanme'e]], who had built massive hives in the area.<ref name="data"/> | Around the same time, a lone ODST only known as "[[the Rookie]]", thought dead by the rest of the squad, woke up in his pod, on the edge of a rooftop in [[Mbaraki]].
