Morgan Weisser portrays Nathan West, a former space colonist turned Marine. He joined the Corps just before the war broke out as a means to finding his lost love. He and his girlfriend Kylen were members of the Tellus Colony mission. A mere hours before the launch, they were informed that one of them must be removed from the program because the In Vitro affirmative action plan called for a replacement. Kylen alone realized their dreams to travel into space -- and was with the Tellus Colony when it was destroyed by the aliens. Feeling betrayed by the people in whom he trusted, Nathan is searching not only for Kylen but for his faith.
