First Battle of Mombasa: Difference between revisions

Line 101:

[[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] was hesitant to let ''In Amber Clad'' engage the High Prophet of Regret's Assault Carrier, still above Mombasa and the New Mombasa Orbital Elevator. However, when the Carrier began jumping into Slipspace while still in the atmosphere, Hood recognized that the only ship able to follow was the ''In Amber Clad'' and gave the ship the green light to give chase.

The Pelicans carrying Spartan-117 and the Marines entered the ''In Amber Clad'', which followed the Assault Carrier into Slipspace. Just before the Carrier jumped, remaining ships of the [[UNSC Home Fleet]] deployed dozens of [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle]]s down to the city in an effort to infiltrate the Carrier, only to be caught by the EMP blast in mid-flight, frying their navigational and safety systems, plunging them and their [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] occupants to almost certain death. ~~alot~~ of buildings were heavily damaged, but ~~still stood tall, all except for~~ the Space Tether, which was ~~seen swaying violently in the Halo 3:ODST gameplay trailer~~. ~~only~~ a small section remained ~~after that~~, and it stood until the city was glassed. Wreckage of the Tether ~~can be seen in~~ the plains of the Tsavo ~~nature reserve~~ and ~~dotted~~ along the sides of the Tsavo ~~highway~~.

Many of the city's buildings were heavily damaged but remained standing; a notable exception was the Space Tether, which was shaken loose and collapsed. Only a small section remained standing, and it stood until the city was glassed. Wreckage of the Tether was scattered across the plains of the Tsavo Nature Reserve and along the sides of the Tsavo Highway.
