Curtis, that man is a real hero.
Curtis....boy that takes me back.
We were in the coalition's navy together , we got shipped out to the war at the same time too so we got to work in some pretty hostile situations. Curtis saved my ass countless times, he's the kind of guy i'm not afraid of turning my back on...thats pretty rare in this world...
He used to be quite the ladie's man too from the stories he told me but not so much now...a damn parasite disfigured him and i wish i was on duty with him that night so i could have at least tried to save him...but you can't beat yourself up on things of the past. He took it pretty well even when the coalition deemed him unfit to continue his service. He was decorated like the rest of us at the end of the war at a big ceremony on earth but he was honorably discharged shortly after.
Having to work with him again was just what i needed to cheer me up after all this bad luck.....I haven't seen him since the ceremony, the coalition refused to give me his informations and i'm guessing they did the same thing for him.
I'll make sure that we wont lose contact this time, he can count on it.
