Around thirty minutes after the slipspace event, unmanned [[F-99 Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle|F-99 UCAVs]] were sent to the city to maintain air supremacy over the Phantoms and Banshees. UNSC forces began to regroup, following the orders of [[unidentified colonel|a Marine colonel]]. The Marines were ordered to regroup at the colonel's position near the landing zone, and take control of Regret's carrier's former landing zone in the [[Uplift Nature Reserve]] in an effort to seize an unidentified enemy asset, later revealed to be groups of Huragok. Marines at the Uplift Reserve, led by [[Taylor Miles|a surviving ODST]], managed to break through Covenant defenses along the way to the landing zone. At this point, the Mombasa Tether, already damaged by the jump, collapsed, with miles of debris from the tether scattered across East Africa.{{Ref/Level|Id=tsavo|H3|Tsavo Highway}} The collapse also killed the colonel, who, in his final moments, ordered Marines to evacuate from the park. With the colonel dead and the Covenant transporting all Huragok away from the park, the UNSC forces gained little advantages from their efforts in the park.{{Ref/Level|Id=upliftreserve|ODST|Uplift Reserve}} | Around thirty minutes after the slipspace event, unmanned [[F-99 Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle|F-99 UCAVs]] were sent to the city to maintain air supremacy over the Phantoms and Banshees.

Eventually, the Rookie managed to meet up with Dare inside the [[New Mombasa Data Center|Superintendent's Data Center]]. The two fought through the Yanme'e hive in sublevel 10, causing the Yanme'e to alert the Jiralhanae, who sent more reinforcements to the Data Center. Inside, Dare and Rookie discovered the Huragok [[Quick to Adjust]],{{Ref/Reuse|Catalog}} who had combined the Superintendent, namely its [[Vergil]] subroutine, with itself. As Quick disconnected from the core, the AI shut itself down, as all of its data had been transferred into the creature. At this point, Buck arrived into the complex and the ODSTs escaped back to the surface through the Covenant-occupied tunnels, while protecting the critically important Huragok.{{Ref/Reuse|data}} | Eventually, the Rookie managed to meet up with Dare inside the [[New Mombasa Data Center|Superintendent's Data Center]].
