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.

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.

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. Posted Image

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