Adrian Lewis Chase.

The Marine shuttle entered the dusty atmosphere of the sixth moon of Borra, Dengshtar.  The Confederation troops within the spacecraft were preparing their rifles and donning their armor.  They were here because the native borrites had complained about a terrifying monster, that lived in the outcropping of rocks outside the ship.  Adrian put on his helmet, grabbed his assault rifle, and checked his communit.  The Marine troopers exited the ship and headed for the mass of boulders, Asderj, a tua, took a grenade and threw it into the center of the rocks, it exploded heating the rocks up 1,000 degrees.  The center boulder, which was not a boulder after all, stood up on four legs, had a rocky shell, tail, and bony spikes along it's back.  Adrian and the other Marines opened fire, it's shell turned out to be resistant to laser fire.  The rock lizard used it's tail to hurl rocks at the marines, one came at Adrian, he dodged, it smashed on the ground behind him, Adrian took a grenade from his belt and hit the thing on the face, it exploded, scorching the rock lizard's head and neck.  The rain of lasers and stones continued, one of the projectiles crushed the captain of the platoon, Adrian took a shock drill, jumped down next to the monster and drilled it's neck, it shrieked and roared, then, it died.
Adrian walked into a bar back on Earth, he ordered a drink, then kicked back and watched Phaserball.  He contently sipped his beer and watched the Marauding Maldos defeat the Nuclear Ningons in Phaserball, when an emergency news update.  The reporter android started talking about an embargo on the Pluton Domain and the usual warning about the Xenos Imperium.  Adrian decided he would check back at base now.
