An acquaintance, [[K. Stark|Staff Sergeant K. Stark]], who had been a member of the 19th Battalion, was killed in action. Tarkov attended Stark's funeral and afterward volunteered to be an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]].

One [[Brute Major|Jiralhanae Major]] struck Tarkov while he was moving up the line, knocking off his helmet and inflicting deep gashes in his face and throwing him into a puddle. As the Brute was approaching the helpless Marine, who was firing his pistol at the Brute to no avail, a severely damaged Banshee crashed into his back, killing the Jiralhanae and saving Tarkov's life. Years later, Tarkov, now a battle-hardened veteran and whose gashes have turned into scars, and four other [[ODST]]'s held a field burial for a dead comrade. As plasma detonated in the distance, the ODSTs put on their helmets and moved out. | One [[Brute Major|Jiralhanae Major]] struck Tarkov while he was moving up the line, knocking off his helmet and inflicting deep gashes in his face and throwing him into a puddle.
