Kikowani Station is a [[campaign]] level in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. In this level, the player takes control of [[Edward Buck|Buck]]. Chronologically, this is the last flashback level of the game, and also the last time the player play as any of the other squad members other than [[the Rookie]]<ref name="ods">''[[Halo 3: ODST]] level, Kikowani Station''</ref>. | |||
Completing this level on [[Normal]] or above unlocks the [[Kikowani Station (Achievement)|Kikowani Station achievement]]<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', Achievement [[NMPD HQ (Achievement)|NMPD HQ achievement]]</ref> and 30 Gamerscores. | |||

Buck has a plan to escape the city through the [[MagLev Train]] tunnels leading to [[Old Mombasa]], only to realize that the area has been flooded by water. Out of options, Buck administers [[Biofoam|biofoam]] to Romeo's wound and, in a risky move, decides to hijack a [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]] and fly it out of the city. Buck and [[Michael Crespo|Mickey]] make their way through heavy Covenant defenses on a station platform, where Mickey manages to steal a Phantom. While [[Taylor Miles|Dutch]] and Romeo man its turrets, Buck pilots a Banshee and escorts the Phantom though Covenant lines, which include [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]], [[Type-26 ASG|Shades]], and [[Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Artillery|Anti-Air Wraiths]]. After surviving close-quarters aerial dogfights and a few foot skirmishes through tunnels, between high-rises, and over flooded areas of the city, the squad encounters and defeats a [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarab]]. Clear of the city, Buck ditches his Banshee mid-air and boards the Phantom to rejoin his men. A comment by Romeo allows Buck to realize where [[Veronica Dare|Dare]] is, and he abruptly orders Mickey to turn around the ship so he can go find her.<ref name="ods"/> | ||
