Varia sat on the right hand side row, two from the front. She was one of two women in the squad. She was relatively inexperienced in combating bugs but she had a brilliant mind. She was also a scientist. She was here to figure out their origin. Their source may lead to their ultimate defeat. She sighs as the Sergeant cracks a joke about Hell. She took it all very seriously. She wasn't your usual marine. She was actually quite a pretty female soldier, unlike her team mate who resembled an Amazonian butcher. But she knew how to handle herself from the male chauvinists in the group. 

She had martial arts training, although not overly strong, she was fast and agile enough to make a quick dispatch of you. She had been trained since the age of ten, because her parents wanted her to be able to defend herself in these scary times. Now, she had been thrown into the bug exterminator squadron under orders from the Corporation after 5 years combat training in the field alongside her medical degree. Their orders were to get her to the lab and help her investigate. 

"Hey Varia, after this you maybe wanna get a drink sometime?" One of the male soldiers asked her and she just stares at him, unamused. "Really? We're about to go shoot up some aliens and you think that's a good time to ask someone out?" She raised her eyebrows in disbelief then shakes her head, sighing.
