Continued from Case's bio from Robotech MUSH
After a few years, and a few more children. Case had joined the REF and was prepared to leave with the SDF-3 on its voyage towards the Robotech Masters homeworld. Still being the Infantry man he was, when the Cyclones were developed, they because the REF's Infantry, and he would learn to rather enjoy riding the suped up motorcycles.
When the time came for launch, he was there, as was most of his family, except his youngest child, Kassandra, back on Earth. His decision was a simple one for the fact that she was just to young to be taken with them. The SDF-3 left Earth orbit, and arrived in orbit over Tirol to the war going on between what was left of the Robotech Masters forces, and the Invid.
For the most part, he wasn't involved in the war that would follow between the Invid and the REF. There wasn't much need for the ground troops to be used on Tirol. He also did not go with the Sentinels when they left to liberate the rest of the planets the Invid had conqured. He was content to stay with his family, and stay out of yet another war.
But fate can be a cruel mistress. When the REF decided to send fleets back to Earth, to figure out what was going on. Case was one of the first to be sent back with the small fleet given to Colonel Wolfe. The day he left, he kissed his wife and children goodbye, tucked some photos into his pockets and walked away, knowing in his heart, that he'd probably never see them alive again.
The trip back to Earth was uneventful. When they arrived, the fleet set down, and the REF forces went after the Invid. After a time, Case grew tired of the conflict. He'd been in the military for over 20 years at the time, and he had grown tired of the fighting and the conflicts. While he didn't truely go AWOL from the REF forces, he told his superiors he had enough, and wished to leave and retire to somewhere peaceful. He left the next morning, taking his few possessions with him and heading where ever he felt like going.
His first stop, was back to the crater were Boston had stood so many years ago. He stayed there for awhile, making a small homage to his lost home, then turned and left, having finally made peace with himself about the loss of the city during the Zentradei War. He hoped onto his old and battered cyclone, and speed off towards the southwest, following the coast line through the old southern states of Lousisana and Texas, then followed it down the Mexican coast, and somehow managed to push through the jungles of Central America, and the northern sections of South America.
It was by chance that he stumbled upon the town of New Rio. By that time, he'd been travelling for a few years, and he decided that it was out of the way of everything, and figured he'd settle down there. There would be a bit of a language problem at first, since the people in the area would speak Portugese, and English, but he'd learn Portugese soon enough, already speaking more then one language as it was, it wouldn't take him long to pick it up.
He floated from job to job for a bit. Then settled for work on a horse ranch not far from the town of New Rio. In part because it was work that keept him outside, it paid well, and it also reminded him of his wife, and her love of horses. He worked the ranch for a few years, learning everythign he could. Then when the original onwer died, he would buy the land and ranch, since the owner had left no will, and no realitives.
Case mostly runs the ranch now, he does help out with the actual grunt work of it sometimes, keeping the buildings maintained, helping with the animals and all that, but he's mostly a paper pusher. He spends a lot of time in town, listening to news that anyone may bring from the outside world, and in general, just being an upstanding citizen type. Most people don't know that he does help, and will help any resistance fighter that many need it. He will not fight except to defend himself, but he will hide them, give them food and shelter, even supply them with a horse or two on occasion and share news of Invid happenings in the area. He has fought his wars, his fighting days are over, but he still does not like the idea that his beloved planet is controlled by another force.
