At the end of the first episode there was a flash of purple in the sky which hints that they're there, and I could have sworn I was seeing flashes of green in that video Sully is decoding.[/quote]I thought the series took place before the war. My bad.[/quote]It does, but then the "war" starts for them. You get foreshadowing everywhere, like in episode 1 where the general was commanding marines to certain places (which didn't have anything to do with the immediate developing plotline) then he looked up to the clouds with a rather worried look. Later you see that flash in the clouds, the green when a cadet is decoding, and when Laskey walks bye the warthog and salutes he saluted the general who rode buy listening to the words "danger is in the red".
