Though its title suggests its association with [[New Mombasa]], the 'Earth City', it is frequently played as the theme of the [[Covenant|Covenant's]] [[Scarab]] walker. It is first played in the Halo 2 E3 2003 demo when the Master Chief mans the gun of a Gauss Warthog and continues on until the end of the demo. This is the only time when the music is not associated with the Scarab. It first appears in the final game when the [[D77H-TCI Pelican|Pelicans]] launched from [[UNSC In Amber Clad|In Amber Clad]] encounter the Scarab in the cinematic before [[Outskirts]]. It is later played in [[Metropolis]] when the [[Master Chief]] encounters [[Wraith]]s outside a [[Marine]] Command Post, just before the Scarab arrives there.
