You begin to drop into the planet New Mombasa. You arrive with a small fireteam of ODSTs. The dropship lands onto the grounds with a shutter, and a harsh thud, rattling you and your squad mates. One of your squad-mates mutters something, along the lines of. "Wow. Can't wait for this.." With obvious sarcasm. Some fellow squad mates chuckle.

The ramp slowly lowers, revealing you to the grounds of New Mombasa. The thick smoke and fog immediately choke the air you were just breathing. That is not that dangerous, though.

The sun bore brightly into the open dropship, and cut through little openings in the sparse scattering of buildings and trees.
