Mehaffey's efforts dawn on Lasky and he volunteers to lead Hastati moments prior to the start of their final combat exercise, a contest of [[Capture the Flag]]. While waiting for [[Zuma Squad]] to approach their flag's location, Lasky organizes Hastati into cover in a tight formation adjacent their flag, a seemingly ill-tactical maneuver. Lasky orders his men to remove their [[CH252 helmet|helmets]] as they contain [[Identification friend or foe|IFF transponders]] detectable by the enemy's [[motion tracker|motion sensors]]. With Zuma converging on Hastati's flag, Lasky positions his squad in a formation reminiscent of the [[Wikipedia:Pincer movement|pincer movement]], a tactic utilized to great effect by [[Wikipedia:Hannibal|Hannibal]] at [[Wikipedia:Battle of Cannae|Cannae]] in 216 BCE, taught to the freshman cadets only a day before the exercise by Col. Mehaffey. Funneled into a trap, the enemy cadets are eliminated or captured by two sections of Hastati cadets, with Hastati suffering no casualties of their own in the process. An emboldened Lasky, charging towards Zuma's flag, finally succumbs to his ailing health and collapses meters away from completing the objective. | Mehaffey's efforts dawn on Lasky and he volunteers to lead Hastati moments prior to the start of their final combat exercise, a contest of [[Capture the Flag]].

Lasky wakes up and is informed by [[Hughes|Dr. Hughes]] that his condition is an allergic reaction to the cryo drug [[cytoprethaline]], which is vital for cryo-sleep to prevent damage to cells. Resting in his room, Lasky wakes up to see Chyler sitting beside him and watching his recordings. She urges him to stop wallowing in his brother's death and expresses concern for his condition; she also reveals that Hastati Squad was victorious in the capture the flag exercise, congratulating Lasky for his tactical maneuver. Lasky and Silva then join the rest of Hastati Squad to watch the classified recordings Sullivan has pieced together. To the great bemusement of the cadets, the footage shows [[SPARTAN-II Program|large soldiers]] in [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|unfamiliar armor]], fighting [[Covenant|unknown hostiles]] alongside | Lasky wakes up and is informed by [[Hughes|Dr. Hughes]] that his condition is an allergic reaction to the cryo drug [[cytoprethaline]], which is vital for cryo-sleep to prevent damage to cells.

Shortly afterward, Lasky learns that because of the severity of his cytoprethaline allergy, he is offered the choice for a medical discharge. The following night, Lasky reveals this to Silva, who professes that she will miss him if he leaves. The two kiss but are interrupted as an evacuation alarm goes off. | ||
Lasky and Silva join the rest of Hastati Squad in a queue for the academy's [[space elevator]], while [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] drop in to the academy grounds. The stress of waiting proves too much for [[Dimah Tchakova]], who against the orders of their squad leader [[April Orenski]] rushes in front of the queue and invokes her mother's position to allow a Marine to let her in the next elevator car. As the car ascends, the rest of the cadets watch in horror as three [[Ceudar-pattern heavy corvette|alien ships]] appear in the clouds and one of them opens fire on the space tether. The tether's lower structure collapses on the building and the members of Hastati Squad barely escape the destruction. | Lasky and Silva join the rest of Hastati Squad in a queue for the academy's [[space elevator]], while [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] drop in to the academy grounds.
