In Response To: Re: :-\ (vlad3163) : "Two hundred and fifty years ago New Mombasa—at that time the world's : busiest sea port—was chosen to be Earth's first tether city. Over the next : eleven years the city experienced explosive growth, but nothing compared : to what followed. The city grew out as well as up, its urban sprawl : unequaled throughout the continent. By 2430 New Mombasa had absorbed all : of the island and many of the surrounding towns found themselves overrun : by residents of the old city. The switch was never official and many of : the neighborhoods within direct line of sight to the Mombasa Tether still : distribute newspapers and chatter directories under their "old" : names, but all municipalities within a 74 km radius of the island are now : referred to as Old Mombasa." : The New Mombasa Field guide entry. With that in mind, it seems the ability to see the buildings in the distance isn't so unrealistic afterall. On a side note: looks as though Bungie is embracing the 'chatters' from ILB as canon. I don't think those have appeared anywhere else in the fiction.
