On [[2554|March 29, 2554]], Tom and Lucy were in their office reviewing the performance of the new Spartan-IV class when an explosion rocked the station, causing a loss of gravity. Tom contacted Captain [[Chu]] to find out what happened; the captain informed him of a rupture in the rec room where Commander Musa had been interrogating someone about a homicide. With Tom unaware that a homicide had taken place and asking for clarification, Lucy brought his attention to the window where they saw two men fighting outside in space: [[Rudolf Schein]], a Spartan-IV recruit, and [[Jun-A266]]. Soon Jun was able to break from Schein's grip and kick off from Schein's chest, sending Schein deeper into space and Jun towards the station. At Lucy's prompting, the two entered an [[airlock]]. With a tether and without a [[vacuum suit]], Tom attempted to anticipate Jun's path and shot himself out the airlock. He missed at first, and when the tether went taut he attempted to correct himself when he realized Lucy was helping him. Jun managed to get caught in Tom's tether and Lucy was able to pull the both of them in, but not before both he and Jun lost consciousness.{{Ref/Reuse|lessons}} Commander Musa later visited Tom in the infirmary and informed him of what had happened. Schein had killed [[Hideo Wakahisa]], a fellow Spartan-IV recruit, and had torn out Wakahisa's locator implant. Musa and Jun conducted an investigation which led them to Schein. While interrogating him, Schein detonated a hidden grenade which killed Captain [[O'Day]].{{Ref/Reuse|lessons}}
