Notes: The UESG henceforth will be referred to as the "Unified Earth Space Guard." I've decided that it's the most accurate name for the military after reading on the Marathon's Story Page.

"Naturally. You could hardly claim to be an angel with those pointed ears, Mister Spock. But say you landed someplace with a pitchforkŅ"

I looked into the Bar section of the restaurant I went to today - and here's what I saw:
"YOUR NEW BARTENDERS ARE BLAKE, ROB, AND BOB"
That's just too similar to be a coincidence.

Would someone mind explaining to me what exactly M:Inv is? I'd really like to know, out of sheer curiosity.

Suddenly, the little scoutship disappeared and then reappeared right behind the alien warfleet. The gravitic ship's captain hailed the armada. "You are going to be destroyed, but I will give you a choice as to how you want to spend eternity: big pieces, little pieces, or quarks?"
Dead silence.
"Quarks it is, then."
Dead silence.
"Quarks it is, then."

Have you player the Marathon Series (any)?
If not, it might not even be worth explaining.

Sorry, Pallas. I'm sure I'm out of the loop here, but no, I've never played the Marathon series. I believe you're talking about the really famous net game that's out there, but that didn't exactly look like a space adventure game - looked like a RPG shoot-em-up. So I'm not too sure I even know what you're talking about.

Go to the Marathon story page. Even if you haven't played Marathon, it's a fantastic insight into a universe quite unique.
