'''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]].

Completing this level on [[Normal]] or higher unlocks the [[Chasm Ten]] [[Firefight (Halo 3: ODST)|Firefight]] map, which is based on this level.
Completing this level on [[Normal]] or higher unlocks the [[Data Hive (achievement)|Data Hive achievement]] and the [[Chasm Ten]] [[Firefight]] map, which is based on this level.


==Summary==
==Summary==
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 an [[Unidentified NMPD officer|NMPD Officer]] searching for his men. He follows the Rookie until he is killed by either the Drones or the Rookie (Depending on the number 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 [[Quick to Adjust]] that has taken refuge there. Quick to Adjust has assimilated the Superintendent's data with its own knowledge, particularly the Superintendent's [[Vergil]] subroutine, 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.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Any weapon the player acquired from the [[supply cache]]s on ''[[Mombasa Streets]]'' will not be carried over into this level; attempting to do so will cause the player to begin the level with the default loadout: [[M7S SMG]], [[M6C/SOCOM]] and two [[M9 fragmentation grenade]]s. Covenant weapons such as the [[Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|Fuel Rod Gun]] or the [[Type-50 particle beam rifle|Beam Rifle]] will carry over.

Covenant weapons such as the [[Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|Fuel Rod Gun]] or the [[Type-50 Sniper Rifle System|Beam Rifle]] will carry over.
**The only exception is if the player is able to access the supply caches, but does not use the following weapons: [[M41 SPNKR|Rocket Launcher]] or [[SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle|Sniper Rifle]]. Any of both weapons carried on the data hive will result in the loadout being reset to M7 SMG and M6C/SOCOM.
**Another possibility is if the player was using weapons that were not acquired from the supply caches before the final clue, the weapons will be carried over.
*The player starts the level on Sublevel 07, another [[Seven|7]] reference. The nine sublevels before the player meets Dare is one of the game's many references to The Divine Comedy, specifically the nine circles of hell. According to the book, the ninth level of hell is actually cold, as reflected by the frozen area where the player finds Dr. Endesha's body.

*Throughout the level are monitors showing data on the Superintendent's status.

*The Superintendent's data core housing is very similar in design to Pfhor power core chambers in [[Marathon|Marathon video game series]].
*Two different cutscenes are possible when Dare and the Rookie meet [[Quick to Adjust|Vergil]]. The default cutscene plays if the player has not collected all 30 audio logs and shows the Rookie arming his gun and aiming at Vergil before Dare tells him to stand down. If the player recovered all the logs, the cutscene changes to reflect the information gained from reading them. Dare aims at Vergil instead, and the Rookie will motion for her to stand down and whistle for Vergil to come out. In the [[Sadie's Story]] audio logs, Vergil had learned how to whistle to communicate with the creatures, explaining how the Rookie would know to do so.

**Interestingly, Vergil gives a slight pink/red glow if not all audio logs were collected, but has a brighter blue glow if otherwise.
*At the exit of the Drone hive, a lone [[Yanme'e Leader]] occasionally makes a final effort to falter the [[The Rookie|Rookie]]'s progress. It is worth noting that this is the only Yanme'e Leader encountered in the campaign; suggesting it may be the leader of all the Drones encountered in New Mombasa.

*If the player swaps weapons with Dare, she will revert back to an [[M6C/SOCOM]] after finding the Engineer.

*The player can push Dare through the floor on this level through a glitch. When one and Dare are about to enter the small elevator, activate the elevator before Dare boards. After the elevator goes up, she will remain standing under it, and lowering the lift onto her will push her into the ground. She will later reappear on the upper levels of the hive.{{Citation needed}}

*When the Rookie links up with Dare, she comments on "some idiots" blowing up [[ONI Alpha Site (location)|the building]] at the top of the shaft and waking up the whole hive. This is a reference to the level ''[[ONI Alpha Site]]'' and Dutch and Mickey.

*Not killing the NMPD Officer when he turns hostile would turn your allies (Dare, Buck, and Vergil) to the enemy in the late part of the level. As such, killing the NMPD Officer is required to avoid being hostile with Dare, Buck, and Vergil for the rest of the level.
**The game system likely marks the player as hostile to NMPD and UNSC allies when turning the NMPD Officer into hostile. This can be avoided if the player leaves the NMPD Officer at the crime scene and proceeds throughout the level while keeping him as an ally.
