Hi, this is Chief Master Assault Sergeant Keylan Taraj of the United Earth Star Marine Corps Ghosts. You've probably wondered where I've been all this time. Well, its a long story, but you might wanna stick around. It all started back in 2236, when i was 15.
A knock at the door.
"Yes?", i answered, being the oldest in my family. I saw a pair of grim looking Marines standing there in dress greens. Sorry, my parents are on an op, i thought.
"Are you the oldest in this house?"
"Yes sir."
"Are there any adults?"
"Other than my parents, no. and my parents are out on an op, sir."
They delivered the news. my parents, Marine Rangers #3403 and #3509, Kayla Taraj and Robert Taraj, had been killed in action shortly after an operation on the North Pole of Mars. The Red Sun Terrorist Federation was involved, and I knew right then that my world was going to take a downward spiral.
The door closed behind them.
They've gotta be kidding...Mom and dad dead? No Way in heck! Sadly though, my thoughts were proven wrong.
Over the next few weeks, my life declined. Finally, I was close trying to steal and rob just to help myself. Thankfully, the General found me first.
His name was Thomas Richenbacker Jarrera, father of the Ghosts. This was our first conversation.
"You knew my parents, sir?"
"Aye. Kayla and Robbie were a couple of my students at the Special Operations Academy."
"Is it possible for me to go and train?"
"Uhh, usually it would only be Marines allowed there, but...Yeah, as a favor to your ma and pa."
