The common theory is that the blast from the glassing caused everyone's shields to go out, and you have to manually restart it. Kat mentions it was her first glassing, and supposedly never restarted her shields, so the needle penetrated her helmet and killed her.

I preferred how in Halo 3, after taking enough damage, Arbiter would be knocked out until the enemies in the area were cleared. In fact, I'll go on and say having the Arbiter as an ally was a lot better than having the entirety of Noble Team, at least most of the time.
