'''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]]. | |||

The Rookie, having | 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. | ||

* 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. | |||
*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. | |||
*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. | |||
*During the level, you can see Drones feasting on the deceased NMPD bodies. | |||
*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]]. | |||
*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)]]. | |||
*You start the level on Sublevel '''07''', another [[7]] reference. | |||
*The fact that there are 9 Sublevels before the player meets Dare 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. | |||
*It is possible that the Flamethrower in this level was used to set off the fire-prevention system that killed Dr. Endesha, though this is unlikely because it is at full capacity when picked up. | |||
*This is the only level in which you can use a flamethrower against non-Flood NPC enemies. | |||
*By using theater mode, you can see that the NMPD officer was never killed, but just took a few steps before disappearing. | |||
*The [[Firefight |Firefight]] level [[Chasm Ten (Level)|Chasm Ten]] is based on this level and is unlocked by completing this level. | |||
*It is possible to push Dare through the floor on this level. When you are just about to go up the small elevator rush ahead of Dare and activate the elevator. Make sure she doesnt get on. After the elevator is sent up she will stand under it and activating the lift will push her into the ground. She will later reappear on the upper levels of the hive. It is best to either view this effect in theater or have another player to watch.{{fact}} | |||
