[edit] Story

Marcus Rush is the brother of Marlene Rush. He is a pilot for the Wolf Squadron under the command of Commander Daryl Taylor. His best friend and wingman is Alex Romero, and he has a crush on Lieutenant Commander Maia Sterling. Unfortunately, the difference in rank between himself and Maia, coupled with his one bungled pass, and her accidentally overhearing his racist anti-alien remarks to Alex, convince him that he probably won't have much luck pursuing her. But he still wants to try pursuing her. Maia does appear to like him as well and was more gracious than offended by Marcus' innocent but awkward attempt to flirt. Additionally, despite being half-alien, Maia didn't seem to hold Marcus' racist remarks against him especailly since he immediately expressed shame upon learning that Maia is half alien. Also, Marcus likely hates only the Invid, not Zentraedi and other allied aliens. He hates the Invid because they killed his sister during the failed second assault on Earth, and the only thing that he has as a memory of her is a hologram pendent left to him by Marlene and her fiancé, Scott Bernard, whom he believed was also lost in the destruction of the Mars fleet. He uses the pendent to keep a running tally of the Invid that he's killed, placing a mark on the pendent for each kill.
