On October 20th, 2552, [[Sadie Endesha]] purchased a train ticket at Kikowani Station bound for [[Old Mombasa]]. She boarded train 14 and then departed.<ref name="circle1arc1"/> | |||
Early during the [[Covenant]] [[Battle of Mombasa|invasion on the city]] in the [[Battle of Earth]], seven [[Huragok]] managed to escape their [[Jiralhanae]] handlers in Kikowani. Six of them attempted to remove an explosive device from the [[Quick to Adjust|seventh]],<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''' - [[Audio log|Audio Log]]: ''[[Sadie's Story]], Circle 6, Arc 2''</ref> they accidentally triggered the device and all but the seventh Huragok were killed.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''' - [[Audio log|Audio Log]]: ''[[Sadie's Story]], Circle 6, Arc 3''</ref> | |||
Commissioner [[Kinsler]] had a private train parked at platform 9, waiting for Sadie Endesha. As well, a crowd formed on the platforms trying to board the train as the Covenant bombarded the station.<ref name="circle9">'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''' - [[Audio log|Audio Log]]: ''[[Sadie's Story]], Circle 9, Arc 2''</ref> With the help of a [[Huragok]], the crowd boarded the train and killed Kinsler<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''' - [[Audio log|Audio Log]]: ''[[Sadie's Story]], Circle 9, Arc 5''</ref> and with Sadie and [[Mike Branley]], departed for Old Mombasa.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''' - [[Audio log|Audio Log]]: ''[[Sadie's Story]], Circle 9, Arc 6''</ref> | |||
By the night of the first day of the battle, the station's surroundings, including the train tunnels, were flooded by water. This prevented [[Buck's squad|a squad]] of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] from escaping the city through the train tunnels, so they had to make their way through the Covenant-occupied area by air.<ref name="kikowani">'''Halo 3: ODST''' - Level: ''[[Kikowani Station (level)|Kikowani Station]]''</ref> | |||
