However, she was wounded by a [[Type-26 Banshee]]'s [[Class-2 Projectile cannon|Fuel Rod Cannon]] blast while on her way to the cruiser.{{Ref/Reuse|hope}} The blast also severely damaged her right arm, which was later replaced by a [[Artificial limb|robotic prosthetic]]. | ||
[[Thom-A293]] was the first to arrive to her position. Seeing as there would be no time to wait for backup, he picked up the nuke and used a [[Series 8 jetpack|jetpack]] to fly into the cruiser through its [[gravity lift]]. Just before the nuke's countdown ran out, Thom managed to toss it into a [[hangar bay]] where numerous [[Unggoy]] were massing for deployment. Mere seconds later, the MFDD went off, destroying the cruiser and killing Thom.{{Ref/Reuse|hope | [[Thom-A293]] was the first to arrive to her position.
