In 'Metropolis' on the floor of the building you enter, 'mtangulizi' is written on the floor.

Mtangulizi on floor means "forerunner." Kampuni is written nearby, it means "company"

So the question is raised in-game why the covenant decided to land there. In that level, they end up heading straight at that building. Any thoughts?
