Jason Marlowe sat in his seat, fast asleep. He was a new transfer at the UAC base on Mars, supposedly replacing another Marine who had been transferred off Mars. There were also to other people aboard The DarkStar with him, some company lawyer and another marine, supposedly his bodyguard.

He then was woken up by rough shaking on his shoulder; he looked up to the lawyers body guard next to him.

"Wake up marine, were landing in one minute." He said before walking to that lawyer.

Marlowe cursed under his breath as he stretched his arms; after he finished stretching he grabbed his bag. As he stepped out of The DarkStar he could overhear the lawyer talking to his bodyguard.

"I didn't want to come here; I'm tired of running damage control every time he makes a mess." The lawyer said.

"Right, you're the control and when that fails, I'm the damage." His bodyguard said before they walked off.

Marlowe then walked off to the rental scanner, while he walked over there he heard someone say to himself "I got to get outa here." After he got through the rental scanner he then proceed to the front desk.

"Welcome to Mars marine, first time?" He asked with Marlowe nodded to.

"Alright first things first, this is your PDA." He said as he pulled out something that looked a little like a datapad. "This will send you emails and allow you access to certain parts of the base, so don't lose it." He said as though Marlowe wasn't careful enough.

"I see Sargent Kelly has requested to see you immediately, I wouldn't him waiting."

"What about my stuff?" Marlowe asked

"Don't worry about it, will send it to your personal quarters, now get going, last marine who kept the sarge waiting had permanent guard duty at the sewage plant."

Marlowe then nodded and went off to the Marine HQ.
