Have to take a left after the Ship Graveyard at Karos. You'll pass the Gehenna asteroid fields on your right after a couple lightyears, slingshot past Sarum, and take the first exit to the near megalith at Tanis. You'll want the second level, next to the big flouron sign that says "RESOURCE DROPOFF POINT HERE".

Oh, and watch out for Vaygr. It's a tough part of town.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain....

It's still classified but if you come by my booth at the gun show I'll tell you all about it.

My tour was pretty quiet but there was that one time when we put itching powder in Sarge's suit right before the EVA to fix the solar panel.

That shit was hilarious!

My tour was going great until I put a burst through the space station. That's why it was abandoned. I did see some action during the Battle of the Six Cities on Mars.

I also saw some action during Solar System War II. My team was transporting a company of U.S Colonial Marines (Space Mobile) when we came under heavy fire during the drop I went through forty belts of 60 caliber caseless. Before we took off from the hot LZ I personally witnessed two Colonial Marines turn into red mist due to a RPG-06 Disintegrator Rocket Propelled Grenade (hyper engine type) hit. Damn I don't think any of those guys made it off the dark side of the Moon.

Damn Colonial Marines (Space Mobile) fuckers are hard core.

Sorry for the double post my hands took a lot of radiation on my tour. Damn Chinese almost got me with a neutron grenade.

Oh, I forgot about the mission in The Nam where I dismounted and went rogue, killing a couple of bad guys in Laos from 1500 meters out using CIA handloads and Kentucky windage in my CAR15. I can't be given a medal for this because that would mean it's not secret anymore.

I was a hardcore four year old.

I did hear this one in person once.

I would never claim to be a Colonial Marine I was just a Space Navy douche. There is no way I am getting off the drop ship to go down on a planet or moon. Too many autonomous mines, Invisible snipers and way way to many Chinese-Russian Space infantry with Type 55, 6.66mm caseless assault rifles. I won't even mention the number of plasma launchers and RPGs (Hyper rocket type).

By the way my double tap was due to radition from a neutron grenade hands ain't what they use to be.

I remember getting issued all the top gear for free.

Larue gave us all their "Stealth Tactical Ultimate Powerful Impressive Devices." It was awesome. I didn't think they could cram any more buzz words into their product name. I was wrong.

I wiped out a zerg infestation on the moon, but they had to burn all of the records to keep the public from panicking.

Once the main hatch on the shuttle was jammed, I used an inanimate carbon rod to hold it closed long enough for re-entry, thus saving everyone's life. Unfortunately, because I was classified at the time the rod got all the credit.

Here this guy is telling you about his experience from neutron grenades during a VERY pivotal event in human existence and you are laughing about it?

It's sad to know Heros like him aren't shown any respect.

And Jesus bloodmoon, I've seen first hand what those n-frags can do. That's something I only wish I could block from my memory, and pray no one else ever has to experience. I too, thank you for your service.
