He watches the aircraft fly overhead toward New Mombasa before proceeding to move out of the park through heavy [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] resistance, including [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraiths]] and multiple other vehicles. Several [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] [[platoon]]s are also present in the area, and at one point Dutch is tasked with finding one of them. While driving into the last section of the park, Dutch witnesses the collapse of the [[New Mombasa Orbital Elevator|Orbital Elevator]]. In the end, he manages to drive out of the park through a large gap in the perimeter wall caused by falling elevator debris and right into the streets of the city. | ||
