Shocking reports of a Covenant flagship breaking through the defenses at the Cairo Station was terrible news. The UNSC stationed in New Mombasa, where the ship had stopped over, along with a small police force worked to set up defense of the city and the evacuation of all its citizens. Unluckily, however, a Covenant onslaught very quickly befell the city, leaving the NMPD and 17th marine regiment to fend off the enemy as best they could, getting any civilians they could to safety. When help finally arrived with the /In Amber Clad/, the fight for Mombasa was finally starting to look up. ---------------------------------- The Earth-stationed 40 Commando was staged on the beachfront along with the remainder of the 17th, securing a route in which the final grouping of civvies would be leaving the sieged city. The rescue mission had gone haywire, resulting in the death of all but a dozen out of the sixty remaining in their convoy. A small detachment of the 40th was to be sent in to retrieve the pinned survivors. "Corporal Anders! You've been selected to go on the mission." Sergeant Gentree, the marine heading the rescue, approached the female soldier, rifle on shoulder, with a serious expression. He turned his head down and spit beneath him as he walked with a slight limp. "I need every brave soul I can get on this mission. God knows some of us ain't comin' back."
