'''Data Hive''' is the penultimate [[campaign]] level in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. It is set in the immense [[New Mombasa Data Center|data facility]] below the city of [[New Mombasa]], where the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] are trying to gain access to the [[Superintendent]]'s data core. It is the first linear level in the game after [[Mombasa Streets|the hub]]. | '''Data Hive''' is the penultimate [[campaign]] level in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''.

On the way down | The Rookie, having found [[Veronica Dare|Dare]]'s distress signal after exploring the city, descends down an underground [[elevator]] shaft into the [[Superintendent]]'s [[New Mombasa Data Center|Data Center]]. He arrives at sub-level 7 of the complex and must fight his way down to sub-level 9, where Dare is hiding. On the way down The Rookie has to defeat a range of Covenant, including Brutes and Drones, during this time the Rookie runs into a NMPD Officer searching for his men. He follows the Rookie until he is killed by either the Drones or the Rookie (Depending on the amount of audio logs found). Once the Rookie and Dare are reunited, Dare informs the Rookie of the true nature of their mission. The two then fight through a [[Yanme'e|Drone]] hive to the Superintendent's core to secure its data as well as "the asset," revealed to a rogue [[Huragok]] named [[Vergil]] that has taken refuge there. Vergil has assimilated the Superintendent's data with its own knowledge, making it an extremely valuable defector to the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] and a major liability for the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]. [[Edward Buck|Buck]] fortuitously arrives just as Covenant reinforcements attempt to secure the complex, and with his help Dare and the Rookie escort Vergil safely to the surface through heavy resistance. | ||
