Corbulo's officer cadets were caught off-guard by this attack. General Black was killed within minutes of the attack; [[Colonel]] [[K.L. Mehaffey]] attempted to organize the surviving cadets inside the tunnels, though she too was quickly killed. Soon, whatever UNSC forces left were eliminated and four members of [[Hastati Squad]], Cadets [[April Orenski]], [[Thomas Lasky]], [[Chyler Silva]], and [[Michael Sullivan]], were the only human survivors on the entire planet. SPARTAN-II [[Blue Team]] were then subsequently deployed in response to the cadets' distress beacon. Spartan [[John-117]] arrived just in time to rescue the cadets from a Sangheili Zealot. He then broke open the cadets' weapons lockers and allowed the cadets to arm themselves.<ref name="part4">'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''', ''Part 4''</ref> | Corbulo's officer cadets were caught off-guard by this attack.

Silva was killed by a Needler round, and the rest of the group was attacked by a pair of [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]]. John-117 depleted all his ammunition killing one of the Hunters, and was left with only a single grenade. He planned to take on the remaining Hunter alone, buying the surviving cadets time to escape. However, Cadet Lasky volunteered to distract the Hunter while John got into position. Lasky successfully drew the Hunter's fire, allowing John to plant the grenade under its armor. The resulting detonation blew the Hunter to pieces. | ||
As morning arrived, the group reached their Pelican dustoff point without more casualties just as the Covenant began glassing the planet. Impressed by Lasky's courage, John gave him a fragment of the Hunter's armor. <ref name="part5">'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''', ''Part 5''</ref> | As morning arrived, the group reached their Pelican dustoff point without more casualties just as the Covenant began glassing the planet.
