802 A.S, Planet Malta, Sound of Screams and Cries, same story as usual. Another Slave Liner had docked.
Men, Women, Children, most in dirty clothes, some with no clothes, crying and begging for mercy. No use.
"Get on your feet and move or I'll make you crawl like the dirty worms you are." Vincent Quintero shouts,
Vincent Quintero is known to be one of the cruelest Commanders in Outcasts forces,
Many have died for disobeying him, and his favorite entertainment ? Playing around with new Slaves.
"You there gringo!" he shouts and points at an old man, "yes ?" the man says, with a scared look on his face
"Stand up!" He orders, the old man struggles to get on his feet, "What did you answer me when I called you?"
Quintero asks the old man, "I said yes ... ?" the old man could see the evil in Quintero's eyes.
It happened so fast that no one even had time to scream, a ray of light from Quintero's Light arm, and the old
man drops on the floor. "That should teach you to say 'Yes Master ?' when I call you, not just 'yes ?'" He
shouted at the rest of the slaves, then walked to a mother and her child - not older that 3 years for sure.
"Who brought them here ?" he shouts as he points his gun at the child, the mother hugs her child tightly.
One of the crew of Slave Liner steps forward and says "Her husband had a debt he couldnt pay, so we
took his wife and son instead of money." Vincent points his gun at the man and shouts "Amigo, You think
we have extra food to waste on every single worm you bring us ? If he cant work, you are just wasting
our bullets, Do you get that ?" The man walks a few steps backward saying "Sir, you can drop them in Eta
if you dont need them, so the hungry corsairs will rush to eat them, and you can kill them all together, isn't
that a good idea ?" Vincent scratches his chin with his gun and suddenly bursts into laughter "Perfect!" he says.
"But this one smells so bad that even those dirty sairs wont eat him" and fires a shot at the boy.
Scream of the mother was so loud that no one could hear anything else, even noisy engines on the Liner.
The woman starts punching Vincent's chest while crying, but it didn't hurt him even one bit. After standing
and laughing for a few seconds, Vincent punches the woman in the face "Get off me you dirty whore!" he
shouts, "I should teach you some manners before using you in the way you deserve!" and starts laughing.

803 A.S, Planet Malta, "Stupid bitch! I should've killed her as soon as I found out she is peragnant" Vincent
tells one of the nurses at Malta Central Hospital, "Senor Quintero" Doctor calls as he walks out of the room,
"Si ?" Vincent answers, "Your wif.... um, I mean, the woman you brought here, gave birth to a boy" Vincent
looked at doctor for a few seconds then walked to the door, kicked it open and shot the woman in bed from
there. "What the .... ?!" The doctor shouted, "What are you doing ?" and ran to the bed, Vincent pointed his
gun at the doctor and said "If you try to save her, You'll join her. Now, Where is the boy ?" Doctor moved a
few steps backward, keeping his hands in front of him, "We moved him to the other room ..." and points at a
door, "Lets finish it then," Vincent walks to the other room. He finds a beautiful baby sleeping in a crib there,
points his gun at the child, unable to shoot, seeing the peace in child's face, and the smile on his face, he
realizes he cant kill his own son, no matter who the mother is .... or who the mother was.

The boy grows up and becomes one of the well known students of Malta Military Academy, Gabriel Quintero,
the only son of Vincent Quintero. First one after his father who managed to enter the Academy before age of
twelve. But nothing like his father, a kind, generous boy who loves helping anyone who asks for help. In a
summer day, 816 A.S, Gabriel and Vincent visit one of the Cardamine Fields on Malta, all Gabriel could say
was that strong smell of Cardamine felt so good. "You see hijo ? We let these low-lives breath in these fields,
and in return, They have to farm Cardamine for us, fair deal, isn't it ?" Vincent says,
Gabriel stands without a word and watches the slaves working on the field, suddenly Vincent walks a few steps
away and presses his finger on his earpiece and starts talking, a few minutes later, he walks back to Gabriel
"I have to leave, some stupid Colonials are close to Alpha hole again, We have to teach them another
lesson," Vincent says and leaves, Gabriel stands there, watching all the slaves working on the fields, thinking
if their lives are as good as his father tries to picture it.
"You boy!" an old man yelled as he was making his way through the Cardamine branches to get to the boy,
"Are you son of that animal ?" the man says, "Don't even dare to talk about my father like that!" Gabriel yells,
"Or what ?" the old man says "He will do to me, what he did to your mother. I'm not afraid of death"
"My mother ?" Gabriel asked, "What do you know about her ?" The old man looked at young Gabriel
"He never answers your questions about your mother, does he ?" the man asks, Gabriel stands there in
disbelief, staring at the old man, "What do you know about her ?" he whispers. The old man suddenly looks
behind the boy's shoulder and starts talking in hurry "The guard is coming! Tell him I was begging for food,
ask doctors at Central Hospital, they'll know." and runs back into the fields.

Four months passed as Gabriel started asking around secretly about his mother, finally when he could put the
story together, he couldn't believe what he had learned. Vincent Quintero really was an animal, as the old man
in the fields called him months ago. He couldn't let a being like that live and continue ruining innocent lives.
He knew his plan, Vincent Quintero will die and one of the slaves would be blamed for it, but this sacrifice will
save hundred more lives. Three weeks later, Vincent and Gabriel were standing at the Fields again, Everything
Was ready and as planned, The old man who had talked to Gabriel a few months ago had accepted to help
Gabriel with his plan, help him with his life.
"Oh look!" Gabriel pointed at one of the slaves, "Seems that pig is not working as hard as he can!" Vincent
Grinned and grabbed his hand gun, "Want to teach him hijo ?" Gabriel took the gun from his hand and looked
at the man working a few steps away, Then turned around and pointed the gun at Vincent "what ... ?!" Vincent
was shocked, "What you think you are doing ? Pulling a gun on your own father ?" Gabriel looked at him,
"You are not my Father, and I'll make sure you wont call me 'Hijo' ever again!" It all happened as fast as
years ago, A ray of light going toward Vincent, The body hitting the floor, and Gabriel tossing the gun to the
old man. "Now you will die too Pig!" The old man shouted and acted like he is going to shoot Gabriel,
He fired a few shots behind Gabriel's foot, who was running for his life, and suddenly the old man was on the
floor, one of the guards had shot him. "Get a transport here, Commander Quintero is shot!" The guard shouted
and ran to Gabriel, "Are you alright ? what happened ?" he asked, Gabriel was trying to look shocked, which
he could tell was nearly successful, "he ... He Jumped up and grabbed ... the blaster ... It all happened so
fast!", "Are you alright amigo ?" The guard asked, and Gabriel nodded. "Don't worry he will be alright" the
guard said and looked at Vincent's Transport leaving the fields .... But Gabriel was wishing it wont happen.

818 A.S, Malta Orbit, Gabriel now has his own ship, often flying around Omicron Alpha, But knowing the truth
had changed him a lot. The Truth grew an strong hatred in him, hating outcasts, hating who he is, All the reason
keeps him in Malta is that he is bound to Cardamine for rest of his life, and He can't leave, but that won't stop
him from hating his own nation, and killing any unaware slaver he finds. For the pubic, He is known as a jumpy
teenager who turned offensive toward everyone after death of his father, Most of those who he have killed
are believed to be murdered by Corsairs, Colonials, or even Slaves, and him, arguing and disobeying the
outcasts High Commands, is believed to be that he blames the Guards acting late when his father was killed,
His 'Father', being a Commander, is a good cover for him, because no one thinks Son of one of the cruelest
Commanders in Outcast forces, would be the one who is trying to destroy the nation from inside.
