The Master Chief and Alpha Company followed the Scarab through the canals and the Spartan boarded the walker. While the Marines provided some cover fire, John defeated the forces manning the Scarab walker. After defeating its command crew, he managed to destroy the Scarab from the inside by damaging either its internal operating systems or the core system. Realizing that they were at a tactical disadvantage, all Covenant forces began retreating to Regret's carrier. The Master Chief was extracted by Sergeant Johnson's pelican and taken back to ''In Amber Clad'' along with the remaining members of Alpha Company. | The Master Chief and Alpha Company followed the Scarab through the canals and the Spartan boarded the walker.

*The levels [[Turf (Level)|Turf]] | [[File:Mbaraki.png|thumb|Mombasa with no canals]] | ||
*According to sources from Halo 3: ODST, there are no canals in New Mombasa. This creates an obvious contradiction in the plot for which Bungie has not provided consolidation. | |||
*The levels [[Turf (Level)|Turf]], [[Terminal (Level)|Terminal]] and [[Longshore (Level)|Longshore]] take place during the Battle of Mombasa. | |||
*There were multiple Scarabs present in the battle. One Scarab being destroyed by the Master Chief and the other one by [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] who made it crash by luring it into the many twists and turns in the city, in the [[Turf (Level)|narrow streets]] of Old Mombasa. Later on, several more were dropped from the ships of the Covenant excavation fleet. The fact that these were of the new, [[Lekgolo]]-powered variant and not the ones piloted by other [[Covenant]] species suggests that this is around the time that the latter were phased out of combat. This fact also fuels the theory that the Prophet of Regret did not expect humanity to be present on Earth. This would mean that his fleet may have been equipped only with the original mining platform, rather than combat ready scarabs. | *There were multiple Scarabs present in the battle.

*In [[Sadie's Story]], the Covenant Carrier arrives via a slipspace rupture. In all other sources, the Carrier arrived over the city through the atmosphere. It may have made a short, pinpoint jump to get away from the UNSC forces on its tail. | *In [[Sadie's Story]], the Covenant Carrier arrives via a slipspace rupture.
