Phil enlisted so that he could earn enough money to finish his masters. He will leave the corp and get a job with the private sector, probably with WY. All the while, he continues his relationship with his girlfriends, settles down and gets married. Two kids in suburbia, white picket fences, the works.

You can give a smartgun to every marine, and they would still find a way to FF with it.

Get a property, build a wooden cabin somewhere around the outer rim and have a ranch basically, then get visited by a Businessman who gets Paul drunk and sign up for a bizarre job to escort someone very important and then get abducted by predators and fight in one of their hunter games...

Or it was all a dream... but was it really?
Paul : "John, this green blood... is different to the other..."

Paul: " Oh you Fu- "

Probably retirement, as Folk is 42 and got in as a penal marine not so long ago. He'd just return to a wealthy area of Tau Ceti if he can afford it, otherwise, just getting a janitor job on any pleasant station/ship. Space-life can be great.

I'd like to imagine Mortimer would become a bartender robot or a waiter if he was ever removed from the corps and put into any other business, but that would never happen.

Olaf would return to Sweden and become a hockey coach, or if the need arises he would join the side of democracy in an UPP civil war or something, seeing how close they are to Russia.

Lyla would definitely become a PT instructor back in Earth and leave the military shit behind.

Wouldn't be a bad life now, would it?

Assuming she survived to retirement, Kestrel would head back to Earth and sign up at the local gym as a trainer. Motivating people to get fit, hoo rah!

Her mother Klaasje would sign on with Wey-Yu as a security consultant, helping make sure their properties are defensible against overt and covert threats.

Assuming that the Almayer's xeno incident is inevitable, a few different ones based on the outcome.

1. Death (most common)

2. Escape of takeover/SD leading to severe disillusionment and possibly defection to CLF if the possibility arose.

3. Winning:

Either by a steamroll, which wouldn't change much since I would think 'bug hunts' where marines just squish weird dumb alien creatures that act as a nuisance for colonies would be common in a world where FTL and terraforming technology is common. Rooder would probably just keep working to get his discharge and end up back in the criminal world somehow or another.

Or, through an arduous and harrowing battle, especially one that reaches the Almayer. In that case, I think the survivor/hero factor would change a lot of things. My only worry is if W-Y would really allow the Almayer survivors to live given what they'd know about xenomorph intelligence and the source of the outbreak.

Hm, what an interesting question.

Since Hans served in the corps already most of his life, he might sneak up the ranks even further as the years go by and his hair starts getting whiter and whiter. I can imagine him getting a XO somewhere and finally putting the cane in the XOs quaters to a use. He will then think about his good old times with the Charlie squad while wondering what his old squadmates might be doing by then. If he has to leave the Corps at some point, he will eventually head home, to earth and southern germany. Visiting his families graves after all the years and settling down while trying to track down the germans he used to know back in the time for a slow, slooow visit.

Frankie probably doesn't make it out due his luck running dry. If by some miracle he does, and he's on his own, probably a mercenary of some sort running safe jobs. He'll probably stay on the move without settling down, no matter what he does, ending washed up somewhere.
More likely, though, he'll hit up one of his contacts from his time in the USCM and ask to be hooked up with a job. What job that is probably depends on who he talks to.

Going back to a life of crime is probably more trouble than it's worth now that his old contacts are dead and gone, so Aleric's likely to go private sector. Some cushy job with the Wey-Yu PMC if possible, or just a freelancer group if not. No sense wasting the skills he picked up in the Corps.

Not after. If.

If he will get out before Alien shit, Jeser will become some Civillian Engineer and will be making projects for colonies.
If he will somehow survive Alien shit, most likely he will get PTSD, return to Earth and will slowly get paranoia and lose his mind over time.
