::That is solid theorizing, though what immediately sprang to my mind about a tether under construction was that the map could be set post-war with them building a new elevator to replace Mombasa Tether. As for why the power station is now abandoned, it could've become obsolete as a Spartan training facility after holographic sims like that on ''Infinity'' became more commonplace. Wonder if there are any other hints at the timeframe on the map or a more clear view of the surroundings of the tether (ie. do we see a more traditional style Mombasa). --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 03:07, 18 November 2014 (EST) | ::That is solid theorizing, though what immediately sprang to my mind about a tether under construction was that the map could be set post-war with them building a new elevator to replace Mombasa Tether.

:::I'm not sure it's feasible to replace the Mombasa tether - with a giant Forerunner artefact, probably highly classified and with restricted access, and the resulting sensitivity to Covenant attack, I imagine the UNSC would discourage the kind of traffic a tether would service.

Not to mention, with a large part of East Africa glassed by 'Vadum, there shouldn't be anywhere nearby ''to'' service. Unless it's a dedicated military tether? It could concievably be set post-Metropolis, pre-ODST, after the tether was damaged by Regret's slipspace jump. Otherwise, I'd go with an early phase of construction. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 04:36, 18 November 2014 (EST) | ||
