'''Corporal Locklear'''<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', page 48</ref> was a [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] and [[ODST]] stationed on the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn]]'' in [[2552]] as one of [[Major (UNSC)|Major]] [[Antonio Silva]]'s [[company]]. His first name is never mentioned. | '''Corporal Locklear'''<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', page 48</ref> was a [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] and [[ODST]] stationed on the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn]]'' in [[2552]] as one of [[Major (UNSC)|Major]] [[Antonio Silva]]'s [[company]].

Although Corporal Locklear technically committed suicide, it was most likely unintentional. He was obviously very upset at the death of Sheila Polaski, a Naval pilot to whom he was attracted to, but he also said just before the accident that he "wasn't going to die." It is possible that he was drunk, although the book does not specify whether he drank any of the alcohol or not. Locklear had no idea of the radiation levels the crystal produced, and believed that taking shelter behind a robotic dolly would protect him from the explosion. | Although Corporal Locklear technically committed suicide, it was most likely unintentional.

It is possible that by completely encasing a radioactive material in explosive, that it would compress in on itself, achieving critical mass and produce a miniaturized [[Nuclear Bomb|nuclear explosion]]. However unlikely this scenario, an implosion-type first nuclear weapon was the first ever detonated during the Trinity test. This is also supported by the fact that "The brilliant flash of sapphire light was the last thing he ever saw."<ref>Halo: First Strike | It is possible that by completely encasing a radioactive material in explosive, that it would compress in on itself, achieving critical mass and produce a miniaturized [[Nuclear Bomb|nuclear explosion]].
