The story is set during the [[Battle of Mombasa]], and follows [[John-117]] as he makes his way to the heart of the [[New Mombasa|city]] on a mission to board the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s [[Regret's Carrier|Carrier]], from the other end of the [[New Mombasa 105 East#Bridge|bridge]] to a [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] outpost in the city where he meets a [[Parisa|childhood friend]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''Palace Hotel''</ref> | The story is set during the [[Battle of Mombasa]], and follows [[John-117]] as he makes his way to the heart of the [[New Mombasa|city]] on a mission to board the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s [[Regret's Carrier|Carrier]], from the other end of the [[New Mombasa 105 East#Bridge|bridge]] to a [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] outpost in the city where he meets a [[Parisa|childhood friend]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''Palace Hotel''</ref> | ||
John makes his way towards the carrier after his [[Pelican]] has been shot down by a [[Scarab]], but finds that the tunnel leading towards the carrier, the [[New Mombasa 105 East|Mtangwe Underpass]], is blocked. He finds a group of Marines led by [[Palmer|Corporal Palmer]] and helps them escape from a [[Covenant]] attack supported by [[Wraiths]]. They escape into the city's old sewer system, and resurface near the parking lot of the [[Kilindini Park Cultural Center]]. They come across a battlefield with Covenant troops still in the area, but also serviceable [[Warthogs]]. Despite Palmer's reluctance to make a run across the open for the Warthogs, John manages to convince her squad to take the chance. The Marines eliminate several [[Kig-Yar|Jackal]] [[Kig-yar Sniper|snipers]] to get to the Warthogs, and escape through the Kilindini Park with John, Palmer and [[Sullivan|PFC Sullivan]] on a [[M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle]], and the rest of the Marines following on a [[M831 Troop Transport]]. | John makes his way towards the carrier after his [[D77-TC Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] has been shot down by a [[Scarab]], but finds that the tunnel leading towards the carrier, the [[New Mombasa 105 East|Mtangwe Underpass]], is blocked.

After traversing the city's industrial zone via the [[Shimanzi Road]], Master Chief reunites the Marines with the rest of their unit, and goes to meet with their [[Commanding officer|CO]]. The Lieutenant actually turns out to be [[Parisa]], a childhood friend of John on [[Eridanus II]], who believed that he had died when in fact he was only abducted for the [[SPARTAN-II Program]]. John briefly considers revealing his identity to her, but realizes that doing so would show that the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] was willing to kidnap and experiment on children to ensure its survival. Instead, he and Parisa begin to plan for the upcoming battle against the remaining Covenant forces, including the Scarab. | After traversing the city's industrial zone via the [[Shimanzi Road]], Master Chief reunites the Marines with the rest of their unit, and goes to meet with their [[Commanding officer|CO]].
