Remnants and Fallout

"Si, si, I see him!" Alvarez remarked, as he sprayed a burst of shots into the unsuspecting man operating the gunnery controls. "You sound like my father, always nag-this... nag-that!"

Pasha flashed an unimpressed grimace at the young Captain, "your father is a hero of the revolution..."

"Si, si, but right now my father hasn't been born yet... kinda... and well... I ... time... and stuff!" he hurried to pull the corpse off of the console, grimacing as he looked at the name badge and insignia... No Corsair who knew his history could fail to recognize it.

"Capitano Alvarez..." Captain Alvarez stated in shock.

"What?" Pasha asked gruffly. "Have you lost what little remains of your brains?"

"No, hermano, no..." Alvarez said, hauling the dead man up so that he faced Pasha... "I just KILLED CAPITANO ALVAREZ!!!!"

"Who?" Pasha inquired, nervously checking the corridor after Enrico's rather panicked scream.

"He's... the progenitor of the Corsairs... and ... oh my god... I just killed the Corsair nation... oh my god!" Alvarez collapsed to the deck in shock.

"Get a hold of yourself!" Pasha demanded. "We need to turn off the cannon..."

"You don't understand... I just killed my Great... great... great... great.... great... great... a lot of Greats... grandfather!" Alvarez's eyes were wide in shock. "I just wiped out the whole Benitez clan... and probably most of Omicron Alpha!!!!"

"So, that's a good thing, Da?" Pasha remarked. "Too many of those damn Benitez around if you asked me... you spared the gene pool a thousand years of devolution!"

"My family was descended from this man!" Alvarez said, still in shock. "I just killed my whole family... like... my great aunt Flora... Uncle Alejhandro... Uncle Montoya... Grand mama!"

"Quit your whining," Pasha snapped, finally shutting down the weapon. "So you no longer exist... could be worse... you could have hemeroids!"
