''Spartan Strike'' begins in [[2557]]. {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s [[AI]] [[Roland]] informs an unnamed Spartan-IV that the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] has granted the Spartan access to a highly classified simulation of the Battle of Mombasa. Using a UNSC Tactical Simulator, Roland reveals that the Spartan will simulate the actions of an ODST squad sent to secure a Forerunner artifact called the Conduit. In the simulation, the ODST squad is replaced by a lone Spartan clad in [[War Master]] armor.<ref name="youtube"/>

During the Battle of New Mombasa in 2552, the [[Covenant]] brings the Conduit to the city. A [[Type-25 Spirit|Spirit]] [[dropship]] carrying information about the Conduit is shot down by UNSC forces and the Spartan is tasked with recovering the [[data pad]] containing the intel. After the Spartan retrieves the data pad, the Conduit's location is pinpointed elsewhere in [[New Mombasa]]. The [[Sangheili]] carrying the Conduit is killed and the Spartan brings the device to a nearby UNSC convoy. Furious at the loss of the Conduit, the Covenant assaults the convoy in hopes of regaining the device. During the ensuring firefight, a Sangheili [[Field Master]] escapes in a Spirit after recovering the Conduit from the convoy. The Spartan pursues the dropship and the Spirit is shot down shortly after. Arriving at the crash-site, the Spartan eliminates the Field Master and his [[Kig-Yar]] bodyguards. Once again recovering the Conduit, the Spartan is ordered to escape the city so the Conduit can be brought to a research facility in New Phoenix. However, at the same time, ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' is preparing to enter [[slipstream space]] over Mombasa. Fleeing in a [[M12 Warthog|Warthog]], the Spartan attempts to flee, but fails to escape the resulting slipspace rupture. Cutting back to 2557, Roland reveals that the ODSTs originally sent to retrieve the Conduit were killed when the slipspace rupture destroyed Mombasa. The Conduit was never found and the UNSC presume that the device was destroyed as well.
