Thom-A293: Difference between revisions

Thom was the first to arrive to where Kat was lying, and he immediately picked up the nuke and used a [[jetpack]] to fly into the battlecruiser without waiting for his teammates. Once inside, he threw the nuke into a staging area and attempted to escape before it went off, without success. The nuke detonated before Thom could safely make it out, destroying the ship and killing Thom in the process.<ref>'''''[[Halo: Reach]]''''', ''[[Deliver Hope]]'' trailer</ref><ref name="gaf">[http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=23004964&postcount=5255 '''NeoGaf''': ''View Single Post'' - 5255]</ref>

===Replacement===

Both [[Carter-A259|CDR Carter-A259]] and LCDR Catherine-B320 took responsibility for Thom's death, unable to admit that his death was his own fault. The team's commanding officer, [[Urban Holland|COL Urban Holland]], asserted that Thom died because he chose to attack Covenant forces without waiting for backup.<ref name="Bnet"/> Thom was replaced on Noble Team by [[SPARTAN-B312]] a few months later, just prior to the [[Fall of Reach]].

*In the [[Noble Team performance reports]], COL Holland notes that Thom died because he ''"chose to pursue a group of enemy combatants ON HIS OWN rather than wait for backup"''. The circumstances of his death are different in the ''[[Deliver Hope]]'' trailer, where he is shown flying into a Covenant cruiser instead of pursuing a group of enemies.

*In the ''Deliver Hope'' trailer, Thom is seen wearing a gray [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V MJOLNIR armor]] with jetpack and a [[Mark V(B) MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Mark V[B]]] helmet with the [[External Hardened Uplink|HUL]] and the CNM attachments, and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/FJ/PARA variant|FJ/PARA]] knee guards.
