Probably the same as what I would do when I retire, living in solitude on some remote location in Intaki, studying the Ida faith and hopefully become an Idama. Or if my previous career was any indication, I'd probably continue being a hitman for the Intaki Syndicate until I got a bullet to my head. |

You were a hitman?! That's kinda cool and kinda scary. Remind me not to get on your bad side. :P
It was not a profession I chose, it was something I had drifted towards when I ran away from home as a teenager and started living on my own. It's a rather lengthy story.

I think a lot of us younger mercs...I'm assuming you're around my age of 21...have gone against our parents wishes.
I was 16 when I ran away from home, and at the time I was really impulsive, impatient and inconsiderate. I believe that I had become what I am right now after I had started taking hitman contracts, it took some, practice to keep yourself unattached and impassionate towards your targets. Right now I'm 32, and judging by my career I'm going to be retiring before I turn 35. |

Do tell! I love a good story.
I understand those impulsive, impatient and inconsiderate ways. I think all teens are like that. I only recently became a merc three years ago when I was twenty one, but even then my decision was a quick one. I didn't even think about it. Just signed up.I think I got tired of living with my friend and working at the local club.
Why retire though?
Being impulsive impatient and inconsiderate in a culture of calmness and consideration is even worse, that's why I left Intaki Prime and started living in the Syndicate regions. I found myself a small apartment to live in at a small station in the heart of Syndicate territory, paying the rent by doing errands for other people and feeding myself with food I had stolen from cargo transports. Eventually, I got into smuggling several kinds of contraband for Syndicate bosses, mostly drugs, illegal boosters and weapons.
Years passed and I had gained a reputation of being an able smuggler and not getting caught ever, during those years I had also gained some skills on handling weapons and hold my own during a firefight. That eventually led into me being hired to kill one of the dealers that supplied me weapons, which paved the way for my hitman career. More years passed, and the Black Eagles contacted me to join the clone soldier program, which eventually led me into the situation I am right now.
Could I have lived my life better? Possibly. Do I regret my decisions? No, the choices I have made shaped the person I am now, and I am fairly happy like this.
Why retire? Being a clone soldier can be tiring and at some cases traumatic. It can be really stressful at times, dying again and again and still pressing on to keep fighting to fulfill your contract, not to mention the psychological problems our implants bring. I'm surprised if I didn't burn out before turning 35, in which case I would retire to a remote location to live by myself. |

@Denak: Everything happens for a reason I guess. Dying over and over again is extremely tiring and some are...gruesome to say the least.
Yes, some deaths can be really painful, especially after you get revived again and again with the nanites struggling to patch up your broken body, sometimes very painfully. And even after returning from battle phantom pain might still persist, it's a nightmare to deal with.

That did seem likely to begin with, of course.
I believe we have quite a few things in common Yun, judging by the battles we had just fought together, we seemed to be performing quite well as a squad.
But yes, my previous career was going to inevitably lead to my premature death, I still have a few grudges with people from my hitman times. |

The speculation about our origins is just that, speculation. I don't know what you're babbling about with this "Earth" you speak of, and all the theories that claim all races have a single point of origin are declared questionable at best in the lack of concrete evidence. Not to mention that all Jove stations are gone from the known space, and all access to Jove space is restricted from us. I don't know where you got that holoreel from, but I doubt it's from the place you claim it to be. |
