\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Spoilers abound in this review, not just for the show, but for Halo 4 as well. You\u2019ve been warned.<\/p>\n

In part five of my review of episode 1, I take a look at the barracks life of Hastati squad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cadets walk the halls of the barracks. The fact that the three cadets are in slightly different attire denotes varying degrees of readiness, another subtle detail that some may not have picked up on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chyler Silva checking out the latest new reports. I LOVE the graphics here. Man, why can’t we have this in real life now?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Innie” bastards! Read the report now that you’ve got it in one screenshot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another “Innie” report. Seems Silva wants to stay up to date on the Insurrectionists.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tchakova holding onto a precious doll from her childhood. Could be the only thing left she has from it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cadet Sullivan looks at video of fighting the Insurrectionists. Classified! Hmm, I wouldn’t think cadets would have access to this information. Is he a hacker? Hmm, Oni officer in the making!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wait, are these two roommates? Well, gender equality certainly HAS taken a step forward in the future. This is something that would not be tolerated in today’s military. Well at least not in bootcamp.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Um, OUCH. Okay, I can’t do this. I wonder if he had a spotter just outside of camera view?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cadet Chen’s father seems displeased with his combat performance. This reflects badly on him due to Lasky’s errors on the field. That’s something that may come back to haunt him (Lasky) later.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chen practicing martial arts of some type?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lasky looking at his holoscreen. Okay, I’m SO jelly! Look how those floors are so shiny! Hmm, there’s the number “7” again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lasky checking to be sure he is not being disturbed or looked at.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Is this how the internet will look in the future?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Scrolling through vids of his ODST brother.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Hey little bro”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now THAT’S a tat! I wonder how long it’s going to take for someone to actually get this done on them? And how long it will take for it to show up on halowaypoint.com?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For once we actually see Lasky smile. It’s the first time we get a glimpse of happiness. It also shows that he has a good relationship with his brother, despite the distance apart.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Whoops, interupted. Lasky asks Silva if she believes in anything. She redirects the question back to him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He says he does…well, at last he believes in not taking bad orders. This shot shows a strong side of Lasky. Again a glimpse into what he one day will become.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Silva leave Lasky alone in his room. Dark tones really help to elevate the mood of depression it seems Lasky is struggling with. That he isn’t fully convinced of what the UNSC is doing with the Insurrectionist is only starting to be revealed. his being apart from his brother and mother just adds to his despair. That’s good character building there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Playing chess with bullet shells. Hmm, a novelty.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lasky thinks of his first move, while yet another freezer burn is in clear view. What has cryo sleep done to Lasky?<\/p>\n

Next up part six the final article in the review of Forward Unto Dawn, episode one. TO BED.<\/p>\n
