Always two there are…The second Hunter shoots at the Chief and the cadets.
They find themselves at a small jump point. The hunter is closing in. So what to do? JUMP!
It’s worth noting that there is a sort of parallel here. Chief had that epic jump from a balcony last episode. In this episode, the cadets are force to make the same maneuver, but not with the same outcome. They don’t quite land on their feet.
With no ammo, and only ONE grenade, Master Chief is about to take on the Hunter, when Lasky stops him and says he’ll be the diversion. This draws panicked cries from Orenski who tells him NO. He won’t listen to her though.
With a shout of AXIOS!, Tom is off and running.
This is a HUGE act of courage. Even if he were to die at this point, he should be commended for making the decision. He is using the Pincer movement they learned earlier in the production. By drawing the Hunter in one direction, he hopes that Chief can get the Hunter from the rear…
