Background

It starts with SPARTAN-117 in a ruined UNSC base outside of Voi, who mounts a Troop Transport Warthog and skirts by the destroyed New Mombasa Space Elevator, and then reaches Tsavo Highway, encountering blockades of occupying Covenant Loyalist Brutes, Jackals, and Grunts, until reaching the terminus: the Portal, where Covenant Cruisers vaporize the surface of the Earth, unveiling the Portal. The Arbiter is only in this level on Co-op.

{Gameplay}

• Marine Sergeant (Reynolds): "What happened?"

The Master Chief wakes up in the wreckage of the elevator, with wounded Marines being treated and other Marines trying to regroup.

• Commander Miranda Keyes (COM) (Signal with much static) : "Chief. What is your status. Over. If you can hear me, find transport. Head for the town of Voi."

(If you walk up to a Marine being treated by a Medic)

• Wounded Marine: "Ah! I've got a broken rib."

• Marine Medic: "Hey. You wanna bleed out?"

• Wounded Marine: "No."

• Marine Medic: "Then I've gotta keep pressure on the wound."

On the other side of the underground vehicle maintenance bay, a Marine Sergeant shows up at the other side of the elevator wreakage and begins to handle the situation.

Marine Sergeant (Reynolds): "(Cough, Cough) Settle down Marines! Somebody hit the emergency power. (Cough)".

• Marine #1: "On it, Sergeant."

• Marine #1: "Another bombing run?"

or

• Marine #2: "Did we get everyone out sir?"

or

• Marine #3: "'You think the Brutes know where we are?"

• Marine #4: "Anyone from Charlie 02. We got seperated."

• Marine #5: "Nah man. Alpha 06. There all gone too."

• Marine Sergeant (Reynolds): "If you can walk, set your boots on the line."

The Master Chief and any Marines fit for duty form up on the Sergeant on the other side of the maintenance bay, with Warthogs parked and funtional.

• Marine #5: "What's our situation, Sergeant?"

• Marine Sergeant (Reynolds): "Not sure. Can't reach the Commander. Too far underground. Let's mount up. Get the hell outta these caves."

• Marines: "Yes sir!"

Trivia

• Tsavo is a region of Kenya close to where the Tsavo and Athi rivers meet and was the place where the Uganda Railway passed over the Tsavo river. The bridge will be encountered.
• In an article on IGN, it is said that Cortana's voice-over tells you about the stranded transport team. However, it is actually the voice of Miranda Keyes, whose new voice actor sounds similar to Cortana.
• It is the first Halo 3 campaign mission to feature many of the usable vehicles.
• Tsavo means 'Place of Slaughter.'
• The ring shaped debris is the remains of the space tether in New Mombasa, having collapsed after the slipspace destruction.
• Tsavo is notable in that it was the site of the most famous instance of man eating lion attacks in the late 19th century as detailed in the book "Man-Eaters of Tsavo." More than 140 workers perished in the building of the highway. The event was made into the film The Ghost and the Darkness.
