After Gao Tom and Lucy were assigned to a top-secret training grounds aboard a space station as drill instructors for [[Spartan-IV]] recruits. On March 29, 2554, while reviewing the new Spartan-IV class an explosion rocked the station causing a loss of gravity and depressurization.<ref name="lessons">'''[[Halo: Fractures]]''', ''[[Lessons Learned]]''</ref> 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. Initially questioning the homicide, Lucy brought his attention to the window where they saw two men fighting outside in space. Tom recognized one as [[Rudolf Schein]], a Spartan-IV recruit, and the other as [[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. Tom went to the airlock, with a tether and without a suit, 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. As he was correcting 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 name="lessons"/> Commander Musa later visited Tom and informed him of what had happened. Schein had killed [[Hideo Wakahisa]], a fellow Spartan-IV recruit, and had torn out Wakahisa's translocator. Musa and Jun conducted an investigation which led them to Schein, while interrogating him, Schein detonated a hidden grenade which killed Captain [[O'Day]]. After Tom and Lucy had recovered, Musa visited them in their office with Jun and offered them a job working as security at [[Trevelyan]], initially reluctant due to the Sangheili presence there, they eventually accepted.<ref name="lessons"/> | |||
Soon after arriving back at Trevelyan they ran into [[Franklin Mendez]], who they learned was assigned as head of security for the research settlements. Soon after they met [[Kasha 'Hilot]], a female Sangheili who was working as Mendez's second-in-command of security. While Lucy was hostile toward the Sangheili, Tom attempted to keep things from going too far. When Mendez took Lucy to find transportation, Tom conversed with Kasha for a while about things like how the war went, a soldier overheard her talking about [[John-117]] and became hostile towards Kasha. The soldier blamed Kasha for the Covenant's glassing, claiming she allowed the males to go off and fight. Tom tried to calm the soldier down but he only got angrier at Kasha and began poking her in the chest. She grabbed the soldier's finger, in Tom's opinion showing great restraint, but the soldier head-butted Kasha knocking her down. The soldier then attempted to stab her but Tom stopped him, taking several punches in Kasha's defense. Tom then picked up the soldier and threw him into the latter's group of friends. Mendez arrived firing his pistol into the air and informed the soldiers they would be leaving the shield world. Kasha thanked them for teaching the soldiers a lesson, and was comforted knowing that not all humans there wanted to kill the Sangheili.<ref name="lessons"/> | |||
