Later that day, [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]] was deployed into [[Old Mombasa]] to assist [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces to liberate the city from the Covenant. After fighting through the maze-like streets of the mainland, the Master Chief crossed the empty beach below the seawall and then entered the highway system and the bridge to New Mombasa. After a series of quick battles in a [[Kilindini Park Cultural Center|public park]] and the city streets, the Chief boarded and destroyed a Covenant [[Protos-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] as it passed through the city's artificial canals. After destroying the Scarab, the Chief returned to the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}. At this point, the Covenant troops were retreating back into the ''Solemn Penance'', which was preparing to leave.{{Ref/Reuse|h2}} | Later that day, [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]] was deployed into [[Old Mombasa]] to assist [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces to liberate the city from the Covenant.

Although the whole of Mombasa Island was consumed by the explosion, only some buildings close to the slipspace vortex were sucked through.<ref>''Halo 2'', campaign level [[Delta Halo]]</ref> The slipspace rupture also created a large crater to the mainland, north of Mombasa Island. This was where the Covenant would eventually begin their excavation for the Forerunner structure under the region.{{Ref/Reuse|preparetodrop}} | ||
