Lance Corporal J. Brode
Species	Human
Death	In GFMC Compound within 30 days prior to Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Gender	Male
Affiliation	Galactic Federation

Lance Corporal J. Brode was a Galactic Federation trooper and a member of the GFMC Task Force Herakles who crash-landed on planet Aether while in pursuit of a Space Pirate vessel. While on the planet, Brode and the rest of his team were assigned to guarding and repairing their ship, the G.F.S. Tyr. While stranded, resources soon ran short, and even Brode - whom SPC F. Triplette regarded as “the stingiest grunt I know” - was shocked to find himself running low on ammunition. Ultimately, this left them woefully underequipped when the Marines were attacked by a brutal onslaught of Ing-possessed Dark Splinters. By the time Samus arrived to investigate GFMC Compound in Temple Grounds, all she found were the corpses of Brode and his comrades.

Man, I hope that this is the only breeding ground for these things. If there's more, we're in big trouble. We had a hard enough time taking that one out of commission. I almost ran out of ammo. I never run out of ammo!
