Uplift Nature Reserve: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

The turning point of the battle for the reserve was the arrival of an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]], [[Taylor H. Miles|Taylor "Dutch" Miles]]. Having landed on the beach on the southwest end of the park, he moved out 30 minutes after the Slipspace event and soon regrouped with Marines pinned down by Covenant forces. By this point, the Marines were under orders to secure the carrier's former LZ and snatch a [[Huragok|Tier 1 asset]]. With the assistance of the ODST, the Covenant were defeated and the Marines regrouped and moved out. Leading a [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthog]] charge, Dutch made his way through the park to Section B, where the [[Second Platoon (UNSC Marine Corps)|Second Platoon]] was pinned down by Covenant armor, most of them taking cover in the reserve's visitor center. With the arrival of Dutch, the Covenant were defeated and the Marines could continue to push forward towards the Colonel's location in Section C, just beside the Covenant landing zone.

However, before the Marines could make it to the Colonel's position, the Orbital Elevator collapsed and debris rained upon the area. The Colonel was killed by a piece of falling debris, his last orders for the Marines being to clear the area. Upon arrival to the Covenant landing zone, Dutch discovered several Marines taking cover behind a ridge, with many wounded or dead among them, including the Colonel. The [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] in command of the Covenant in the area had moved out to the last section of the park beyond the landing zone, where the Covenant made their final stand against the UNSC, who soon crushed the remaining Covenant and moved out of the reserve towards their new [[Rally Point|rally point]] at the entrance to the [[ONI Alpha Site]] in [[Kizingo]].<ref name="lev"/>

Despite the intense fighting, it would seem that the Uplift Reserve itself managed to survive the battle, as overhead shots of the destroyed city show that the grounds were largely intact. However, it was likely destroyed when the Covenant [[Glassing|glassed]] New Mombasa in order to uncover the [[Forerunner]] [[Portal at Voi|Portal]] structure the city was built upon.

The next day, while trying to escape the city on the [[Waterfront Highway]], the [[Rookie]], [[Captain]] [[Veronica Dare]], [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Edward Buck]] and [[Huragok]] [[Quick to Adjust]] were forced to take cover in the entrance to the Uplift Nature Reserve to await the arrival of the rest of [[Alpha-Nine]] in a captured Covenant [[Type-52 Phantom|Phantom]]. The group came under attack by [[Jiralhanae]], [[Kig-Yar]], [[Hunter]]s and [[Wraith]]s before they were finally extracted by the rest of Alpha-Nine. As Alpha-Nine escaped in their stolen Phantom, a {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} emerged from [[slipspace]] and began to glass the area.
