Natalie. BA Ravaged
The last time I saw my parents was the day we rowed. I
told them my wish to join the Colonial Marines, to become a Starship Trooper
and above all, a Citizen. Dad went into orbit and mum ballistic. Their plans
for me, their only daughter, were ruined. No trip to Mars or going to uni at
the outer planets.
Off I went. I joined up and got my wish. I was in! Basic
training was murder but I passed. I put in for Starship training. Pilots were
needed. My parents called and were really nice. I told them I was accepted and
they congratulated me. We said meet soon. Then the signal cut out. A
transmission glitch?
It was later we heard. The bugs took out BA with a rock.
We were at war! As soon as my training was done, I was being deployed on a war
faring starship. I was nineteen years old. My parents were both dead. As were a
million others in Buenos Aires. Earth was at war with the bugs.
