The Personal Log of Antonio Banderas - fpsdoug - 03-04-2008
Log Entry, Sirius Date, 03/04/08, Brother of the Corsair Brotherhood, Antonio Banderas
Quite a day I must say. I was getting a bit low on funds so I and brother Valentine headed to Sigma-13, we got more than we bargained for. I won't go into details for now but in short, two Novapg, a Gold Chrysanthumum, and a Kusari Naval forces ship all fell to us. The truth is, I had heard my sister Maria was in Sigma-13, I had gone to talk to her, try to reunite our great friendship in our early years. I never found her however, something tells me it will be in vain anyway, she just doesn't want to be my sister anymore, she wants me daed, so much so that she put a bounty on my head a while back.
Currently I am docked at Yanagi, savoring the drinks and women, though none of them have showed intrest, I am not particularly pretty. There was a CNS news report on a screen, I looked up and saw the picture of my sister. Listening intently I strained to hear it. I heard these words.
"Maria Banderas, Outcast bomber pilot, chased down a Freelancer gunboat to New Berlin, the Rheinland Military just released the first report on the incident. A total of four Rheinland Military ships and the Freelancer gunboat were downed, we will keep you up to date."
I grinned and thought to myself, "Thats my sister."
I then looked to the door to see a thin woman with a cloak on walk out. For a moment I thought it was Maria, then I turned back to my drink and finished it and thought no more about my sister, but feel into drunkeness.

I awoke late this morning from the late night of drinking and partying. Worst hangover I have ever had, anyhow I got out of bed and went to check on my docked bomber. As I inspected it, I could barely believe it was still flying, it had been through so much. To the left of my bomber was another, a Blood Dragon bomber, I frowned and thought to myself, "Outcast or Blood Dragon scum." I walked over, and for a moment I wished I could fly it, its small design and forward firing turret were tempting. But I turned to my Praetorian and smiled, it had never failed me and the heavy armor was signifacant against capital ships. I turned back to the bomber and found this etched on the ship.
Maria Banderas, Kills Against Rheinland
Five notches were etched underneath looking just like this
<strike>||||</strike>
I looked up at the cockpit and saw Maria there, snorting some cardamine. She looked striaght at me, obiously stoned because she smiled a huge smile and waved. I walked away into my Praetorian and took off.

Late today, I was called to Omicron Eta due to Elder Lucendez being attacked there. I put all power to my engines but didn't make it in time. His Titan was ripped up by a gunboat and light fighter. I arrived, wanting to avenge my Elder's ship, and possibly his life. I fought a short battle before the gunboats engines failed! This was the lucky break I needed, I took the time to first my Supernova...I fired, pulled off and heard the resonding explosion of the gunboat.
I then turned on the light fighter, shot off its sheilds, and force fed a mine to its cockpit.
I am currently back home at Crete, even lower on funds than before, I really need to get some pirating done...

Today I decided it was time to familraize myself with Bretonia. The coming invasion will require this of course, so it is important. Nothing major today, a shot down BPA officer and a damaged Molly, after the Molly I headed to Gran Canaria from Dublin, docked and drank there. Didn't feel like getting drunk that night, besides the drinks weren't great. An Outcast woman approached me, I didn't recongize her, she had a missing leg and arm, and a deformed face. She spoke to me.
"You, you're Maria's brother!"
"So what if I am?" I replied. The woman coughed, and drank some from the mug in her hand.
"I was her former co-pilot, Enriquez Esteban, I saw her looking at you on a screen in our bomber one day."
"So why aren't you her co-pilot now?"
"After we fought some of your brothers in Sigma, we were damaged to badly to continue fighting, we drifted to New Berlin. Once in New Berlin we drifted to the Planet, navy ships and that damned Freelancing gunboat, Victor_Remond swarmed us. We turned ourselves in, but our mine launcher malfunctioned forcing them to destroy our ship. We both ejected, I lost conciousness and awoke on board the Hessian cruiser, Varyag. Unfourtunatley there was a miscomunication and they didn't realize we were related at all."
"I see..." I was about to say something, but decided not to.
"She still thinks I am dead, she even named her ship, Enriquez's Vengeance."
"Well, I am almost sorry to hear that." I said. Enriquez looked me straight in the eye and said.
"She will come for you, nothing you say can change her mind, she has decided what she will do, fight you to the death, even now you both realize what you, Antonio got eachother into. If one of you doesn't kill the other, you will be expelled from the Corsair or Outcast nation." Enriquez left with these words. I pondered them, I realized that what she said was true, whether I liked it or not, I and Maria would have to fight.

I was called back to Gamma today, I and Centurion Sephardi brought down a SCRA bomber quite easily. We then headed to Delta in our bombers hearing reports of Keepers. We saw them attacking Yaren, and helped defend. We stayed up as long as we could, Sephardi went down. To avenge his broken ship I took down the Keeper bomber. There were still two gunboats left, I forced one to run, the other I got to 1% hull, then it shot me down. I blacked out and awoke in the Yaren hospital ward. "Is he alive?" I said to the nurse.
"Yes, he made it out of his ship in time."
"Thank god..."
I blacked out, and dreamed of terrible dreams about the Nomads, this was my first encounter with it...their ships were...terrifying, Corsair though I may be.

Today as I was heading back home to Crete after my treatment on Yaren, an Outcast bomber came onto my scans and intercepted me in Kappa. The pilot was flying a Blood Dragon bomber, my comms channel flashed, I openned the video comm. It was Maria.
"Its time to finish this Antonio, there is no other way, and you know it."
"I do, I have always wanted to know who flew better."
We closed the distance, I ripped off her shields with my Coladas, but she hit me with an Inferno. She turned before I could and her four codename weapons ripped up my hull, I repaired and engine killed and fired a supernova right at her, it struck...right as she used sheild batteries. I swore as her code guns ripped off a Colada. It continued like this, she ripped off another Colada before I hit her again with a supernova, but it hit her supernova. It blew off, I wasn't sure if that was good or bad, atleast I couldn't get blown to pieces in one hit. I was out of regenerations, she still had all her nanobots of course. I had 50% hull and both our shields were down, I jousted again...took a deep breath, lined my left wing with her hull...I pulled away, I looked out the back, pieces of hull drifted by. I breathed a sigh of relief and scanned for a pod. I found none, the only thing I found besides pieces of hull was all of her logs, I tractored them in, At the bottom of the last pages I wrote these words.
R.I.P Maria Banderas 816 A.S. 03/06
I then copied her logs and jettisoned the original into space next to the remains of her hull. A tear welled up in my right eye as I realized what just happened. She had no chance, the supernova must've hit her cockpit. I remembered what we used to do when we were younger, I wished for a moment I had never left Malta. I flew towards Crete once again.
//Maria Banderas is now dead, her things will be distributed between the BPA and TBH. Editted the end some

Tonight, after sleeping an hour or so on Crete in my comfortable bed, I was haunted by dreams of Maria, I saw her ship flying along with a ghostly appearance, then I heard the cracking of her ship's hull. I shivered, looked around and could've sworn I saw a ghost with the looks of my sister. I blinked and it was gone, I couldn't sleep after this and decided to go enjoy the night life of Crete.

I can't believe this! Today as I was mourning the death of my sister at the site of her ships destruction while space walking my ship was destroyed! As I was blown away from the explosion I was picked up by a Corsair patrol and taken back to Crete to replace my ship. Must've been a Nomad, no one could have done that in safe mind, attacking a defenseless person.

I am sorry, every time I tried to write in my diary the past days, a tear would drop on it. My emotions towards Maria's death, I have been keeping to myself...I am really rather weak for a Corsair, huh, lets hope no one finds out. But now, I am finally over it, but I wil never add the notch for her kill under the word "Outcast."

I am sorry to say this, but this is most likely my last log entry. Some damned Mandalorians caught me with no nanobots or shield batteries. I and Elder Lucendez in our Titans were gunned down by a gunship and two fighters. My pod was then blasted away by a solar flare, towards the Malvada Cloud. I had the good fortune so far to miss rocks, who knows how long that will last. I sent out a distress call, something tells me it didn't make it to Cretetian command, before my life support in this tiny pod fails, I will jetison this log in a radiation tight box. Hopefully my Brothers can find me before that, I only have about two hours left before it is all over. I will live for as long as I can...the last member of the Banderas family, Antonio, must prevail! Viva los Corsairs!
