Kats helmet was not on all the way, she was the only one with out shields.
Yes, because you totally saw shields restart and form on Carter and Jun, who both put their helms on.
Note, glassing puts out a crapton of radiation, that'd be enough to overload the shield system and keep it offline, hence why NONE of Noble Team had shields.
Where did this "Didn't have helm on all the way." theory come from anyway? It sounds stupid...
I haven't actually checked the cutscene after I heard that theory but at least it sounds more reasonable than the shield system getting damaged by the EMP. Especially when Mjolnir is EMP proof. Her shields would already have reloaded when she got shot. If whole Noble Team's shields were down why didn't the Elite just shoot all of them? Covenant are smart enough to kill every possible Spartan they can. This is why it leads me to believe that Kat put her helmet on in a hurry and it didn't seal completely.
What I said is the armor wasn't damaged at all by EMP, the sheer massive spike in radiation due to be so close to the glassing beam caused the shields to overload (hence why you don't see Jun or Carter's shields start up)
Even if their shields were up, the Field Marshall wouldn't know it. My issue with the "Put it on but didn't seal it." thing is this. Kat put her helm on in a much more calm/controlled way then Carter or Jun, both who grabbed their helms and got them on before bolting to the elevators. She put her helm on in the safety of the ride down.
It took exactly thirty seconds from the EMP to Kat get killed. A time where their shields would have completely recharged unless they were broken and we know they weren't. While I rechecked the cutscene I also noticed that Kat's neck is exposed exactly at 2:29. You can clearly see a small part of her skin. The reason why she didn't completely seal her helmet is unknown. She had plenty of time to do it.
The EMP from the blast knocked their shields out, and then the shields were continuing to be bombarded by radiation keeping them from recharging.
I saw no exposed skin, and there is no specific way to seal a helmet, you just put it on and then bam, you're ready to go. What makes you think that there's a certain way to put it on or whatever?
