Yes, guys, it is time for another text-based forum adventure! IN SPACE.
Previous, less-in-space adventures:
The ADVENTURES of M.G. Fink, Daring Theif
And now for the SPACE!
YOU are a Space Marine! You have seen more than a few space battles with the evil space aliens. You've even fought in one, too. However, thanks to your stereotypical shaved head and tough appearance, people figure you're a veteran and have been in more battles than one can count. Which you haven't. You don't really mind, though. People seem to treat you better this way.
Anyway, you have just been transferred into a new space base. As you walk through the well fortified, totally-not-going-to-be-overrun-with-aliens walls, you are stopped by a superior officer. He says he's worried about spies, and wants to make sure that everyone here is supposed to be here. You personally think that it would be kind of obvious if someone was a spy considering space marines generally don't look like evil aliens but you decide to work with him anyway.
He asks you your name in generic this-is-the-part-where-you-name-the-character fashion. What do you say?
An adventure. IN. SPACE.
Stop making references when suggesting a name. I hate having to google every name to make sure the suggestion wasn't just a joke.

You tell him your name is Sam "Minion Puncher" Franklin. The guy tells you that punching minions is actually a pretty idiotic strategy. That's kind of why they give you guns. He lectures you for like 5 minutes on it.
After the boring speech, he checks your name and sees that you are, in fact, supposed to be here. You briefly consider pointing out how a spy could easily just use someone else's name but decide against it due to the risk of having to listen to this guy more.
You head down the hallways and begin making your way to you post. You are supposed to guard the room farthest from the exit. You're sure that won't be a problem in the slightest. At all.
You get to the room. It's fairly large and open. And empty. You are not sure why exactly you are guarding it. You consider asking one of the other guys guarding it, but they all look really focused, and you don't want to distract them.

You check your equipment. It consists of a pistol. That's it.>Check your equipment
ala INVENTORY
You begin to feel very tired. You consider just falling asleep. The other guys seem really intent on guarding this room. They probably won't notice if you catch a few Z's. You begin to doze off, absolutely sure no aliens or anything will invade while you are asleep...Go to sleep.
I'm sure nothing will happpen to your post while you arn't paying attention.

You are now a space biker. You are driving your space bike at very illegal speeds. Rules are, after all, made to be broken. That's your motto. Or, at least, it is now. It probably won't be tomorrow. You tend to change mottos a lot.
Anyway, you are just flying your space bike when, all of a sudden, the police catch sight of you! The space fuzz begins chasing after you. You immediately put the pedal to the metal, despite the lack of pedals on a space bike, and take off. This is the part where you yell something along the lines of "Try all you want, coppers! You'll never catch me, *insert name or nickname here*!"
This is also the part where come up with a name.
