Real Starship Troopers (the book) stuff!

And just picture it: a Flying Battleship is dropping at you at over Mach 1, brakes right on top of you, you jump on board and they hit the gas and off you go! Dude! I wish I'd had more officers like Magdebridge who would stop at nothing for their troops. I was privileged to have three such. Damn fine fellows.
I think the secondary characters could all have more screentime and some mini-arcs devoted to them. It is really a shame, since they seemed to have those in S1 and that seems to have died down in S2. But I guess they had to cut stuff somewhere, with all the plot to get through.

Anyway, a fine crew, indeed. Kinda reminded me of the secondary characters in Macross Frontier.
