Sully shows concern over Thomas, who is suffering from the negative effects of their extensive cryo training, but Thomas powers on through. During the course of their combat mission training Sully was hit by a [[Tactical Training round|TTR]] round and was out of the training scenario. Ultimately it was the actions of Thomas that caused [[Hastati Squad]] to lose their mission and, thus, costing all of them their combat scores. After getting a thorough talk down by [[General Black]], Sully and the rest of Hastati Squad return to their barracks at [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science|CAMS]] where he is piecing together classified video footage of a battle between [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]] and an unknown enemy.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]''', "Episode 1"</ref> |

They watch as UNSC forces overtake a group of [[Insurrectionist]]s when later both UNSC and Insurrectionists are fighting together against an unknown enemy. Sully and the rest of Hastati Squad also get a glimpse of a [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-II]] which shows to be [[Frederic-104|Fred-104]]. At chow hall they debate on who the mysterious UNSC soldiers were. After chow, Sully walks into Thomas' room and shows him an [[Elites|unknown figure]] reflected off the visor of [[Frederic-104|Fred's]] helmet. Later that night Sully is seen with the rest of Hastati Squad as the entire student body are gathered at the academy orbital lift to be transported to waiting UNSC ships for a full scale evacuation. After watching a large group of [[ODSTs]] being dropped into campus, Thomas concludes that the school is under attack.

Shocked and saddened by the events as well as [[Dimah Tchakova|Dimah's]] death, Sully tries desperately to hold on to his sanity. A few moments later an [[Elite]] with energy swords enters their dormitory killing a few surviving CAMS cadets. With time running out Sully and the rest of Hastati Squad risk going out in the open in an attempt to reach their weapons locker. After taking a few steps the cloaked Elite kills [[JJ Chen|JJ]], forcing Hastati Squad to run for their lives to the weapons room. Once they reach their armory, Hastati Squad tries in vain to open their weapons safe. Unable to get hold of their weapons Sully and Hastati Squad hide as the Elite breaks down the armory door and scours through the room for them. In an attempt to facilitate his friends' escape, [[Walter Vickers]] draws the Elite's attention and is shot with a needle rifle. Cornered and no where else to go, Sully and the rest of Hastati Squad brace for their death when all of a sudden [[John-117|Master Chief]] appears killing the Elite. After learning that they are the only survivors on the planet, Chief orders Sully, [[April Orenski|April]], [[Thomas Lasky|Thomas]] and [[Chyler Silva|Chyler]] to collect their gear and weapons. Now armed the surviving members of Hastati Squad accompany Master Chief as they roam through the dark halls of Corbula. Still unsure of who Master Chief is, Sully is convinced that he might be a robot due to his size. As they make it to the outside of the school, Sully watches in horror all the devastation and death around him. As they approach an awaiting [[Warthog]], an Elite with a [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needler]] shoots Sully in the leg. Before it can deliver the fatal shot, Master Chief deflects it with his armor. With more Elites entering the fight, Sully lies next to Chyler and April as Master Chief is busy dealing with the threats and Thomas trying to start up the Warthog. When Thomas successfully starts up the Warthog, April helps Sully into the vehicle and with Master Chief manning the turret Thomas drives the group out of the fight and into the forest.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]''', ''Episode 4''</ref> |

After surviving the ambush, Master Chief applies [[BioFoam]] to Sully's leg wound in order to numb the pain and allow him to walk. When Master Chief deals with a pursuing [[Mgalekgolo]], the surviving cadets retreat into the forest with a now dying [[Chyler Silva]], wounded by a Needle round during the road ambush. After Chyler dies in Thomas' arms, Master Chief arrives and tell the group that they need to keep going as a second [[Mgalekgolo]] is now after them. Due to the heroic actions of Thomas, acting as the decoy, Master Chief was able to destroy the Hunter. The survivors were able to make it to the awaiting Pelican with a handful of UNSC Marines and fellow Spartans [[Kelly-087]] and [[Frederic-104]] waiting for them. As they are exfilled out of the planet Sully, April, and Thomas watch in awe as Kelly and Fred take off their helmets showing that they are unnaturally pale young adults.

Michael "Sully" Sullivan (SN: 26582-72839-MS)[1] is a Commander in the Office of Naval Intelligence and was one of the last cadets from the Corbulo Academy of Military Science.[4]
Biography
Childhood
Michael Sullivan rarely saw his father, Steven Sullivan, who was a data analyst for the Office of Naval Intelligence and was instead raised by his mother, Evelyn Sullivan, along with his two brothers. Sullivan grew up as an extremely laid-back and aloof child which led to his father sending him to CAMS.[1]
Training
Sullivan became a cadet in the Corbulo Academy of Military Science. In the academy he joined Hastati Squad, led by April Orenski. He became good friends with Thomas Lasky in the squad.
In 2526, Michael began piecing together encrypted video footage of a battle between UNSC Marines and a group of Insurrectionists.[5] After the encrypted video was pieced together, it showed UNSC forces overtaking a group of Insurrectionists until both UNSC and Insurrectionists begin fighting together against an unknown enemy.[6]
Battle of Circinius IV
During the Battle of Circinius IV, Michael and the rest of Hastati Squad were saved from a stealth Elite by John-117. John told them that they were the only survivors on the planet and ordered them to arm themselves. As they exited the building and approached a Warthog, a Jackal with a Needler shot Michael in the leg. Just before it was able to deliver a fatal shot to his head, John deflected it with his armor. April helped Michael into the vehicle and, with Master Chief manning the turret, Thomas drove the group out of the fight and into the forest.[6] John applied biofoam to Michael's leg wound in order to numb the pain and allow him to walk.
The survivors were able to make it to the awaiting Pelican and were evacuated off the planet.[7]
The death of many of his school mates on Circinius IV hardened Sully. Upon graduating from OCS he was assigned to Section One of the Office of Naval Intelligence.[1]
Post War
- Main article: Hunt the Truth
In 2558, Sullivan, as a Senior Communications Director in the Office of Naval Intelligence Section 2, hired Benjamin Giraud to find and compile information about the Master Chief's past. A few months into this job, Ben called Michael because one of the documents he found in the outer colonies contradicted all the other information he had received. Sully explained that the document was must have been false considering that all planets that have been glassed contain "bad records."[8]
Ben later called Sullivan again because he discovered even more information contradicting his research. Sully gave Ben the same response. When Ben tried to back up the info, Sullivan threatened to fire him.[9]
