'''ONI Alpha Site'''<ref>http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-halo-3-odst/50402</ref> is one of the flashback levels in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. It is set in the [[ONI Alpha Site]] in [[New Mombasa]].

 

The level is set two hours after [[Dare's Shock Trooper Squad|the Squad]]'s drop into the city, and four hours before [[the Rookie]]'s awakening, from [[Taylor Miles|Dutch]]'s point of view. He and [[Michael Crespo|Mickey]] are [[Battle of Mombasa|defending the ONI facility]] with the help of the city's [[Superintendent (Construct)|Superintendent]], [[NMPD]], and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] forces.

 

Completing this level on [[Normal]] or above unlocks the [[ONI Alpha Site (Achievement)|ONI Alpha Site]] achievement as well as the Firefight map [[Alpha Site]].

The level opens as they are setting [[M165 Demolition Charge|demolition charges]] to destroy the bridge leading to the complex to prevent the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces from accessing it. After the charges are armed, an NMPD officer commands the Superintendent to unlock a keypad on a bridge toll booth so they can remotely detonate the charges. The AI is hesitant at first, but eventually lets Dutch destroy the bridge. After this, they fall back deeper into the facility, fighting off more waves of Covenant until they are forced to retreat into the ONI building itself. Dutch and the NMPD officers fight off the squads of Brutes, Grunts and Jackals that continue to push into the building. Eventually the fight is brought up to the roof of the facility, where the final Covenant infiltrators are killed. A [[D77C-NMPD Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] picks up Dutch and Mickey, and the level ends as Mickey remote detonates the charges in the ONI facility, destroying it.

'''{''Cutscene''}'''

''Dutch watches as a [[Wraith]] moves into position, while Mickey arms a detonator.''

*'''[[Taylor H. Miles|Dutch]]''': "Hurry up!"

*'''[[Michael Crespo|Mickey]]''': "Hey, you wanna do this? Be my guest. But this, ain't... ''(presses button)'' a job you wanna rush."

*'''NMPD Officer''': "Signal's good! Arm the other detonators and pull back to me!"

''The two run down the bridge, another Wraith moves in and starts to fire.''

''The view switches to Dutch, who takes cover behind a destroyed [[Warthog]], a plasma mortar lands a few feet in front of him.''

''Dutch looks back at the Wraiths starting to move up to the bridge.''

''A squad of Marines are trying to hold the Covenant back.''

''If Dutch turns to fight the advancing Covenant horde:''

''If Dutch walks past the first charge:''

''If Dutch walks past the second charge:''

''After the second charge is armed, two [[Banshee]]s join the fight.''

*'''Mickey''': "That's the last one Dutch! Everyone, behind those barriers, bridge is set to blow!"

''If Dutch doesn't go up the ladder to the tower''

*'''NMPD Officer''': "If you don't let us trigger those charges, in about five minutes, your data center's going to be crawling with Covenant!"

*'''NMPD Officer''': "About damn time! Do it trooper!"

''If Dutch doesn't trigger the charges yet:''

''If Dutch further stalls:''

''If some Covenant succeeds in crossing the bridge:''

'''Marine''': Kill their infantry! Don't let them cross the bridge!

''If Dutch doesn't go under the wall:''

''If Dutch still doesn't follow Mickey:''

*'''Mickey''': "Over here Dutch, into the tunnel, under the wall!"

''Mickey and Dutch make their way up the hill, which is being defended by more NMPD Officers and Marines.''

''Soon, more and more waves of Covenant are dropped off.''

*'''Jiralhanae Captain''': "Forward, warriors! Take this hill or ''die'' ''upon it!"''

 

''or:''

*'''Jiralhanae Captain''': "Forward! Grind their bones beneath your feet!"

*'''Female Marine''': "We can't hold 'em, every one fall back inside the building!"

''The ODSTs retreat into the building's interior. NMPD Officers go outside in a last effort to hold back the Covenant. Dutch and Mickey go to a group of officers in the center of the complex.''

*'''NMPD [[Sergeant]]''': "Hurry up men, check those charges!"

*'''Dutch''': "Yeah, what gives? I thought we were supposed to protect this building?"

*'''Mickey''': "The only thing I don't like, is that our butts are currently ''inside'' this facility."

''(Cutting noises and sparks appear on the sealed doorways.)''

*'''NMPD Officer''': "They're cuttin' through the door."

''The doors explode. Brutes can be heard giving out battle cries.''

''During this Mickey and the Sergeant will say various lines, so the player knows to change direction.''

*'''NMPD Sergeant''': "Left side trooper! Bring that turret round"!

''After defeating a few waves, the Covenant start dropping in troops behind Dutch and Mickey.''

*'''NMPD Sergeant''': "[[Phantom]] dropping reinforcements, cover your rear trooper!"

*'''Mickey''': "That's the last of 'em Dutch, come back to my position!"

*'''NMPD Officer''': "Everyone in the elevator, I put enough charges in this shaft to blow this building twice!"

'''NMPD Officer''': "Evac bird's gonna meet us on the roof."

''With [[IWHBYD Skull (Halo 3)|IWHBYD skull]] activated''

 

 

''However, on the way up they are soon engaged by a swarm of [[Yanme'e]].''

*'''NMPD Officer''': "Underground tunnels are filled with the damn things!"

''They soon defeat the Drones and make it to the roof, where a Phantom is dropping off a pack of [[Jump Pack Jiralhanae]].''

''After the Phantom leaves, the evac Pelican arrives, and helps the [[ODST]]s with the enemy reinforcements, which are soon defeated.''

*'''Mickey''': "Let's get outta here Dutch come on!

''or, with IWHBYD skull on:''

'''{''Cutscene''}'''

 

*'''[[Edward Buck|Buck]]''': "Glad you boys are safe and sound."

*'''Dutch''': "Likewise Gunny, you need a pickup?"

*'''Buck''': "Long as you're offerin'. We're in the Police [[NMPD Headquarters|HQ]]."

*'''Buck''': "Alright, meet you up top!"

''Mickey nudges Dutch''

''Mickey points to the ONI Building, and starts to count down from three on his fingers. When he reaches zero, he detonates the charges, destroying the building.''

*During the drop sequence when the player is in their [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|Pod]] the ONI Alpha Site and its surroundings can be seen, including the bridge that is destroyed two hours later in this mission.

*If you don't arm the explosives and&nbsp;instead kill all of the Covenant on the bridge, Mickey will arm the charges and the NMPD Officer will blow it instead, even if you're still on the bridge and it is cleared of all Covenant.

*If playing on Co-op with campaign scoring active, the [[host]] will receive points for any Covenant who are killed by the bridge's detonation, often resulting in large multi-kills such as [[Killpocalypse Medal|Killpocalypse]] or [[Killionaire Medal|Killionaire]].

*Inside the base is [[ONI Memorial|a memorial wall]] with hundreds of names of the people who have died in the war. [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] and [[Admiral]] [[Preston Cole]] are listed, along with some humorous names, like London Bridges.

*At the part where you have to defend until the elevator comes, if you jump over the walls (where the elevator comes up) and fall to the bottom then go into theater and go to the bottom you will see an unarmed [[M168 Demolition Charge]], this is either a glitch or an Easter egg, it is still odd for it to be the only one in the shaft. It is also on the [[Firefight]] map Alpha Site, (unarmed, green, red, armed). It is mostly likely an easter egg or an item [[Bungie]] left by accident.

*The NMPD officer in charge of the group Dutch and Mickey team up with in the main hall of the ONI site has glasses which will read either "Keep it Clean" or "Please remain calm" running across them in a loop (best seen using [[Theater Mode|Theater]]).

*You can get outside the level in theater mode by flying to the left of the building before the game loads the second section of the level.

*At the part where you are inside the ONI building with the [[Kamikaze Grunt]]s, if you kill one while it is near the other, (a better chance of getting this with the Mythic Skull on) sometimes the grenades will drop out of its hands and it will be unarmed.

*In the level [[Data Hive]], when Dare says "Some idiots blew the building at the top of the shaft", she is referring to the destruction of the ONI building in this level.

*The Officer in the tower is almost invincible, being able to withstand several spartan laser shots, sniper rifle rounds, even the odd Wraith shot.

*This is the last level you are aided by normal Marines.

*Strangely, The Superintendent places beacons on the charges but initially&nbsp;refuses to&nbsp;allow Dutch to destroy&nbsp;the bridge.

*The debris on the bridge simply fall into the water when the bridge is destroyed, instead of being propelled&nbsp;into the air.

*The Firefight level [[Alpha Site]] is based on this level and unlocked by completing this level. [[Security Zone]] is also based on this level.

*This is the only level and the first level player will encounter packs of Grunt which was pack of Kamikaze Grunt
