Space tether
For those of you that have access to the MCC, could you take a look at the background scenery with the space elevator and whether there's a city in there (specifically if it looks like New Mombasa) or if the tether's there all by itself. This is pretty big as the lack of New Mombasa would establish the presence of another space elevator nearby, while having Mombasa be that close to Zanzibar would be an obvious geography fail. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 02:08, 18 November 2014 (EST)
- That space tether didn't look exactly finished from the few looks I've had at it. It's base structures resemble the port facilities that New Mombasa Uplift had in 2552 and the tether itself looks to be the same design as in ODST. I'm thinking that Stonetown is set sometime in the first half of the 24th century as the Uplift was still under construction and the major urban development to come was just underway. If you refer to the map descriptions, Last Resort obviously takes place following 2525 with the use of "Spartan," so Stonetown is set prior to that as it has noted to be long abandoned. The map description for Zanzibar notes it as being upgraded or in use in the latter half of the 2400's. It's likely that what we see in Stonetown is the most purest form of Wind Power Station 7 as it was originally designed. Those who recommissioned it for EAP nationalization and later for Spartan training would have removed the graffiti and refitted it for their own uses. Zanzibar's unrealistic proximity to the New Mombasa coastline could be due simply to artistic liberties. Helianthus — All right. Shoot!
