Characters

This article contains spoilers! You were warned.

John

Primary protagonist. John is a guy who found a piece of Orb then tripped accidentally over a career as a Gunnery Sergeant. Current goal is to save humanity from the Alliance and the Alliance from humanity. Death count 1.

Cassie

John's girlfriend, a receptionist at the Alliance HQ on Algrieb. Infrequent carrier of the orb.

Osmen

Formerly a Human commando, Osmen surrendered in Chapter 3 and is now trying to join the Alliance. Death count 1.

Oberan

John's second-in-command. Seems competent and nice enough if humorless. John sort of melted his face off with an antimatter mop, but that's water under the bridge. Death count 1.

Kat

Interviewed Osmen. They sort of have a weird thing developing between them right now. A sexy weird thing.

Seth

Marine officer onboard John's ship. Likes loud music, explosions, weaponry. Saved John's ass on Algrieb.
