Next we see Doctor Huges tending to Lasky and his Cryo sickness as well as a loss for Cadman Lasky.

The genuine concern that is shown on the doctor’s face is a testament to the actor portraying the role. Lasky is suffering from a sickness to one of the ingredients in the cryo solution. 1 in 50,000.

The wounds have shown up everywhere. His chest, back and wrist mostly.

The doctor tells him to take a days’ rest which Lasky thanks him for. Too bad he won’t get that. (You’ll see why later in the episode)

Next we see Cadman sending a COM. It’s not the usual happy com though. You can hear the thumping of artillery in the background and the camera gets shaky (deliberately) at times.

Cadman relays to Tom that their bud “Ridge” didn’t make it. He describes Ridges death as being one minute he’s there, the next not, and that a “pineapple” (the term used for a grenade) blew him up in four directions. You can see the pain on Cadman’s face, then as he covers it.

It’s a shame thus far that we haven’t seen Tom and Cadman in a scene together. By the looks of it, we never will. That however only adds to the drama and emotions each time Cadman is on screen. Each time I watch a vid of Cadman, it really brings home the real life soldiers of today. Their willingness to sacrifice their own lives for the greater good. Hendler has captured this well, even if this series takes place 500 years in the future.
