'''Data Hive''' is the second-to-last mission 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 (Construct)|Superintendent]]'s data core. It is the first linear level in the game after [[Mombasa Streets (Level)|the hub]].

'''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.


==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.
The level begins as the Rookie, having followed [[Veronica Dare|Dare]]'s distress signal, descends down a subway [[Lift|elevator]] shaft, into the Superintendent's Data Center deep under the city. He ends up on sub-level 7 of the complex, and has to fight his way down to sub-level 9 where Dare is currently holding out. Upon arriving there, they fight their way through a [[Yanme'e|Drone]] hive to the core of the Superintendent to secure its core data. Inside the data core, they meet a [[Huragok]] who has combined the Superintendent's data with its own, making it extremely valuable. [[Buck]] then arrives at the complex, and they escape to the surface through heavy Covenant resistance.

==Achievements==
== Trivia ==
The following [[achievement]]s can be unlocked on Data Hive across the [[Xbox 360]] and ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' editions of ''Halo 3: ODST''.
[[Image:BARRETT_binary.jpg|thumb|right|BARRETT written in binary code.]]
{| class="wikitable"
* At one point in the level, the player will encounter an [[Unnamed NMPD Officer|NMPD officer]]. The Superintendent is seen acting strange towards him, such as not opening data stacks for him to allow access or saying phrases like "Warning: hitchhikers may be escaped convicts." (A reference to the final segment of the level [[The Maw (Level)|The Maw]] in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'').
|-
*It is interesting to point out the speed of which the Drones can create a suitable Hive to breed and live in, considering the short timeframe between the Covenant attack and the setting of this level. This is partially explained by two Grunts seen conversing in the level, who point out that the Yanme'e spent most of the time building their hive and not sealing the entrance to the tunnel. This conversation notably marks the first time in the series that a Covenant species is referred to by its Covenant name in dialogue.
! scope="col" style="width:135px;text-align:center;" |'''''Halo: 3: ODST'' (Xbox 360)'''
*Around the level, there are multiple monitors which show data of the Superintendent's status. If the player goes too close to these screens, the Superintendent will interrupt the displays, labeling the information as classified.
! scope="col" style="width:135px;text-align:center;" |'''''Halo: MCC'' (Xbox One)'''
*There are two different cutscenes that can be played when Dare and the Rookie meet the [[Huragok]], Vergil. The normal cutscene is viewable if the player has not collected all 30 audio logs, and shows the Rookie arming his gun and aiming at Vergil, with Dare telling him to stand down. If all 30 audio logs are recovered, it is Dare that aims at Vergil, with the Rookie motioning for her to stand down, then whistling to Vergil to come over, reflecting the information gained from the logs.
! scope="col" style="width:135px;text-align:center;" |'''''Halo: MCC'' (Steam)'''
*During the level, you can see Drones feasting on the deceased NMPD bodies.
! scope="col" style="width:175px;height:20px;text-align:center;" |'''Title'''
*During the level, there are some "corrupted screens" and sometimes they show binary code which after translation, it says "BARRETT", a reference to level designer [[Chris Barrett]].
! scope="col" style="width:350px;height:20px;text-align:center;" |'''Unlock requirement'''
*The design of the chamber holding the [[Huragok]] and the [[Superintendent]] has almost the exact same design as the Pfhor power core chambers encountered throughout [[Marathon (Video Game Series)]].
! scope="col" style="width:200px;height:20px;text-align:center;" |'''Games'''
*You start the level on Sublevel 07, another 7 reference.
|-
*The fact that there are 9 Sublevels is one of the game's many references to The Divine Comedy. Specifically the 9 circles of Hell. According to the book, the ninth level of Hell is actually cold, and one of the hallways on the ninth sublevel is frozen.
|[[File:H3ODST Achievement Data Hive.png|center|64px]]
*It is possible that the Flamethrower in this level was used to set off the fire prevention system that killed Dr. Endesha.
|[[File:HTMCC H3ODST Achievement DataHive.png|center|114px]]
*This is the only level in which you can use a flamethrower against non-Flood NPC enemies.
|[[File:HTMCC H3ODST Achievement DataHive Steam.jpg|center|64px]]
*When [[Dare]] mentions [[ONI Alpha Site]]'s destruction, you can see a Drone on top of the window flying away.

==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.
**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. If the player goes too close to these screens, the Superintendent will interrupt the displays, labeling the information as classified. In addition, some "corrupted screens" will flash the binary code for "BARRETT," a reference to level designer [[Chris Barrett]].
*Drones can create a suitable hive in a surprisingly short amount of time, considering the short time frame (i.e. less than a day) between the initial Covenant attack and the setting of this level. This is partially explained by the first two Grunts encountered on this level, who point out that the Drones have spent most of the time building their hive rather than sealing the complex's entrances as ordered.
*Just before entering Sublevel 08, the player will encounter an [[Unidentified NMPD officer|NMPD officer]]. The Superintendent is seen acting strangely towards him, refusing to open data stacks for him and saying phrases like "WARNING! HITCHHIKERS MAY BE ESCAPED CONVICTS!" The latter is a reference to the final segment of the level ''[[The Maw]]'' in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.
*Drones can be seen feasting on deceased NMPD bodies, as lower Covenant species and Brutes are known to do.
*Using Theater mode, one can see that the NMPD officer does not actually die if ambushed by Drones. He simply takes a few steps before disappearing.
*This is the only level in the games in which the player can use a Flamethrower against non-Flood NPC enemies.
*Dare's quip to the Rookie about him sleeping in his pod is quite ironic, as the Rookie did in fact stay in his pod for six hours after the drop, thus receiving relatively light contact with the Covenant as compared to his squadmates.
*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 Captain Major]] occasionally makes a final effort to falter the [[Jonathan Doherty|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 of the Drones encountered in New Mombasa.
*If the player swaps weapons with Dare, she will revert 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.
