As the growing [[Insurrection]] in the [[Outer Colonies]] demanded the effort of millions of soldiers, sailors, and Marines, Lasky rarely saw his mother and their relationship faltered because of it. He still maintained a very close relation with his older brother [[Cadmon Lasky|Cadmon]], even following in his footsteps with acceptance for schooling at Corbulo Academy. Thomas and his brother Cadmon, both seeming to be avid [[Wikipedia:Chess|chess]] players, maintained an ongoing game through video messages while the two were at Corbulo and on [[Jericho VII]], respectively. | As the growing [[Insurrection]] in the [[Outer Colonies]] demanded the effort of millions of soldiers, sailors, and Marines, Lasky rarely saw his mother and their relationship faltered because of it.

The hawkish Walter Vickers aggressively despised Lasky, lashing out at him with verbal abuse and eventually resorting to public physical altercations. [[Junjie Chen]], a [[Earth|Terran]], blamed his failing scores in combat exercises on the incompetence of his classmate. Her parents both being very high ranking officers on [[Reach]], [[Dimah Tchakova]] expressed her disdain for Lasky because of his pacifism and beliefs on the war. He was not without more tolerant contemporaries however. [[Michael Sullivan]], despite being "killed" consistently in exercises, found common ground with Lasky in their circumstances, generally not caring for Lasky's reputation as he harbored no ill-feelings towards the Insurrectionists and lacked any blind ambition within the UNSC. He ultimately found support in [[Chyler Silva]], a colonist accustomed to the horrors of the war, attempting to influence her friend in becoming a successful cadet at the academy. April Orenski, a senior cadet in the class of 2526, was Lasky's squad leader whom he seemingly viewed as an antagonistic figure. She led her subordinates with an austere style and instilled responsibility through reasonably harsh discipline; Orenski repeatedly shot Lasky at point blank range with [[Tactical training round|training rounds]] for ignoring orders and made him give her his meal following a squad-wide punishment for their failures in quick response drills. Lasky was granted responsibility of leading Hastati upon request and though appearing to be reserved for a brief moment about his ability, she warmed up to the situation knowing that it would strengthen him. | The hawkish Walter Vickers aggressively despised Lasky, lashing out at him with verbal abuse and eventually resorting to public physical altercations.

Academy professor [[Mehaffey|Colonel Mehaffey]], who had previously served under his mother, began to distantly mentored Lasky, motivating him relentlessly in becoming a successful soldier. Whilst he earned positive reinforcement by superior officers such as Mehaffey and Orenski, headmaster [[Black (general)|General Black]] held a mild bitterness towards the young Lasky. Black often singled him out and invariably used the example of the his older brother, the well regarded Cadmon, to force Thomas to exceed his benchmarks set at Corbulo Academy. | Academy professor [[Mehaffey|Colonel Mehaffey]], who had previously served under his mother, began to distantly mentored Lasky, motivating him relentlessly in becoming a successful soldier.
