I like Kat because everyone else dislikes her. Plus she had no way to expect getting sniped outside that door, totally unfair. The elite must have had wall-hax or something.
Her shields were fried from close proximity from the glassing beam.
Oh really, guess I forgot. Was that the case with the whole team?
No. Jorge activated a slipspace bomb and burned himself along with nearly an entire CSO supercarrier.
Jun survived the war and is currently dismissed from duty.
Carter sacrificed himself to save Six and Emile by raming his Pelican into a Scarab.
Emile was stabbed in the back by a Zealot, who was taken with him to hell.
Finally, Six died a lone wolf after fighting an 8-hour non-stop onslaught of Covenant troops, especially Sangheili troops. As time progressed, more and more higher ranked Sangheili appeared to kill him, to the point that the battlefield was nearly full of Generals equipped with Fuel Rods, Plasma Launchers, Swords and everything. His fate was at the hands of a Zealot. His helmet could still be found even 30 years later, as a reminder of his sacrifice. Halsey spoke her beautiful eulogy to it, as if Six himself was listening, letting him know that Humanity thrived.
