Any way to post this in just a standard TXT? .DOCs aren't all that kind toward other than windoze-drones.

Hmm. Just one bit of advice.. if you're going for a cinematic setting, remember. Marines who die, are dead. It's not an 'acceptable loss'.. and if someone comes back with half their team left in chunky-salsa mode on some floor, it's likely going to have a bit more emotional impact than 'Got back, bought the milk.. oh, yeah. Fred and Sam got ripped into tiny scraps on the way back. Any idea when the next two will be showing up?'. Not Marines breaking down into tears, but not something that's going to be brushed off lightly. As a player, you respawn as a reinforcement. A new Marine.. not the same one brought back.
On that aspect, seems a little too much like game-narration, when viewing it from a character/story standpoint.

I don't know, this is the cold hearted future of space faring uber corperations, for example TSA who pays our marine bills, especially the popular "Girls of the TSA" channel...
