The unspeakable sadness in my heart.It is so hard to believe this,so hard to accept the truth.I know i'm supposed to hate you,you are traidor but still...
But it is hard to find hatred in this corazon...
You led me in thousand battles,you saved my tonto ass...
You were always more than hermana,amiga,almost like a familiy.I felt like we were bounded by blood.
It will be hard without you.I pray we don't meet on field of battle.This time on opposite sides.
I would hate to see you burned and shattered to pieces by mine guns...
*exhales slowly*
Well this is final goodbye i suppose.Farewell Baila and buena suerte!
This gap that you left will be impossible to fill...
Jeronimo Gonzales,also known by the nickname 'Ex' is a capitan of a Corsair cruiser 'Exterminador'
which is currently used as a 'guardian of Mindelo'.Capitan've received the orders
from Tripoli shipyard to move to Omicron Gamma.The reason for such an order was
the increased activity of Red Hessian forces in nearby systems.
He ordered his crew to prepare the ship for a trip to home.30 minutes later,
the vessel and the crew were ready to go!Captain gave the order to navigations officer
to plot course to Omicron Gamma. The trip was quiet and boring,
which made him start thinking...and in one moment,he thought of someone who he once considered a hermana .
After a couple of minutes of thinking,he ordered navigation officer
to change the course to Battleship Fes,which was not too far from their current position.
After they've reached the Fes,he notified the crew that he has something to do in there.
Some crew members noticed the unusual capitan's behavior.They could see
something they've never seen in him...the sadness.
After he successfully docked with Fess,he slowly moved to the prison deck of the ship.
In prison deck he noticed two guards.He asked them to show him the cell of
a prisoner named Baila Morena. 'Her cell is the third on the left side of the deck,senor'said the guard.
The guard escorted him to the cell.
He silently spoke to the guard 'I would like to have a couple of minutos of privacy,if it's not a problema'The guard nodded and walked away.
When he was sure there is no one nearby,he slowly opened the cell doors.
He slowly walked inside the dark cell,where he could see Baila,all beaten up.
He could feel the familiar smell in the cell...it was the smell of blood. He slowly approached her,shaking his head
'Baila...Baila...hermana...'[color=#000000]he silently spoke 'What in Rum's name happened to you!?'he spoke louder 'Sharing a bed with a Reaver!? A bastardo who killed our hombres for cash!! Look at you!'*he points at her*
'Because of this gringo,you got blood on your face,you big disgrace! You dissapointed
the whole Empirio del Corsario! Especially,me,the Brotherhood and
hermanos from Mindelo!'*He breaths deeply*
'Remember all our battles and assignments...we used to blast every
gringo together,we used to save each others culo,
we used to find ourselves lost in the middle of nowhere on your lead' *he chuckles silently*
"...and now...every time I think of those good times,I'll think of a
hermana dating a Reaver.
I still have a hope that I am experiencing the worst nightmare there it is,but,
after every minute it's clearer to me it is not!
Hermana...if I should call you that,what were you thinking? You knew the
consequences are going to be fatal,not only for you,but for the rest of your
hermanos and hermanas.
You made ME and your hermanos open fire at you,
do you understand how hard was it to do such a thing,opening fire on a hermana?
I can now imagine the future,in which I see the children of Crete listening
to the story about Baila Morena,the Hispanic whore. And my name probably
being mentioned in it." *he sighs*
"Well,Baila,this is where do we go our seperate ways. Since I used to consider you a hermana,
I would like to do one more thing for you,even if you don't deserve it.. " *he grabs a small bottle of rum hidden in his uniform pocket' "This bottle of rum...it should help you go through this,that's the last thing I can do for you,hermana. " *he puts the bottle on the floor* "May it remind you of all our time together.'
'Senor,it's time!'said the guard ,*he noded*
*he turns his back to her*'Baila,you should be watching me leaving this cell,because...
this is the last time you are going to see me. I am sad that it finished this way and I can do a thing about it....Adios,hermana,adios!'He slowly walks out of the cell and returns to 'Exterminador'
'Are you okay,capitan?'were the words he could hear from most of the his crew members.His response was just a lazy and silent'Si...'followed by a small nod.
'Senora Salamanca,plot course to Omega-41 jumphole,get us out of this place!Full cruise speed!' said capitan when he reached the bridge
The ship engages its cruise engines and jumps to the next system.
Steps are heard along the corridor of Bailas holding cell, and suddenly he guards start moving some paces away. The little light that shines through the cell door is darkened out by new shape.
Baila. Wake up...and listen. This might be our farewell....it is Trueno here, from the Benitez family, remember?
*he breathes deeply*
I heard what you did...mingeling with the enemy, the ones without honor or principle..the ones who only love the pesetos. How could you? You disgrace yourself and your family! What did your pero say to this mess?
*he shakes his head and his voice saddens*
Do you know where i come from? I come from Crete's spaceport, it is initiation night today...our younglings will fly unprotected into the Maldava to show their bravery and honor the empire. Do you remember yours? Do you know what i have seen today? Young soon to be senoritas pained mustachios on their Legionaires...and why? Because they were inspired by your bravery...your honor- they counted on you!
He grasps the cell door
They counted on you...and you spit in their face, you lost your honor and this saddens me. If this story gets out more corsiars will die...so if you have any littlesmall crumb of honor left- plead o your captors to send you to Yaren base and go down fighting the Nomads or the Core. This is the only way out for you if you ask me...all other paths lead to more dead and desillusioned younglings.
He steps away from the cell, but before leaving he takes a heart and turns once again to the imprisoned Baila
I always liked fighting by your side guapa, i guess now you desillusioned me, too. Hast la vista...and think on my words...
Twenty four hours later the door to the cell opened.
After the last visit a big stroboscope flashed continuously,
and a terrible song played very loud on repeat.
Through a megaphone , Matador and Santi (armed with earplugs) were loudly yelling at her:
''YOU LOVE ESPI,
ESPI IS THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE,
YOU WILL OBEY ESPI,
LOOK INTO THE LIGHT,
YOU ARE A TERRIBLE PILOT,
YOU ARE A GREAT KITCHEN MAID,
YOU WILL OBEY,
YOU WILL OBEY,
YOU WILL OBEY!"
Squeaking noises from the megaphone,
combined with the false notes from the music made a remarkable composition of madness.
If there was such a thing such as pure evil to be found in Sirius,
it was in this cell at this moment.
