"Prepare for impact!" Yelled the pilot. We then hit the ground.....hard, shortly after darkness followed.

Uncharted planet

Private Robert Gill

Marines 26th Division

I wake up to loud grunting and horrid breath. I open my eyes to see myself being dragged along the ground by an Elite. Before I could register that scene I ask myself. Where am I? Where is Gerg? Dammit. I soon was dragged into a base of some sort and thrown behind a plasma door. I look around and see several other marines.

"Hey kid, who are you?" One of the marines asks.

"Gill, Robert Gill, Private." I gloomily reply "Where are we?"

"Some sorta base I reckon."

"What planet?"

"Pfft, god knows what the hell what planet we are on." Great. I'm taken prisoner on an unknown planet. Might as well make the best of it.

"So.....who are you guys?"

"Well, I'm Mike. She's Sam." He points to woman in about her early 30's, red hair, shoulder length. "He's Howard." He then points to a big, burley man. Late 30's, full beard, brown hair. "And he's Jesse." He points to a blond haired kid. Can't be more than at least 28. Slim build and has a crucifix hanging from his necklace.

"Nice too meet you all"

"Nice?" Said Howard "You call being a POW nice?" Nice to meet you too dickhead!

"Well no, but-" He cuts me off

"But nothing, there is no time in this war to be nice."

"Hey." Said Sam "Don't worry about him, he doesn't like to meet new people, but he'll come around eventually."

"Thanks" Man she really is cute, but no time for a relationship in a war.

"Hey don't sweat it." She smiled warmly at me "We should rest up for tomorrow."
