This memory occurs a little over a month after the wave. Foxlip and Polegrave arrive as a scouting party for Cox and the Raiders. Nobody is up at the cave, which was never opened, but a lot of the men, including Mau, come down to the beach to see what's up. Pilu is the only one around who speaks any English, but it doesn't matter, because they start acting threatening right away, and someone -- a young man of the Nation rather than Ataba, who isn't even at the beach when they arrive -- gets belligerent right back, and they shoot him dead.

At this point, Foxlip and Polegrave just want to leave, because as far as they can tell, there's nothing in particular of value here. But once everyone has had a second to get over their initial shock, they want to retaliate -- a group of grown, armed men surround the pirates, who try to shoot their way out, killing another person and wounding two more before they're taken down and killed. (Milo gets Foxlip and the Chief gets Polegrave.)

Everybody is just sort of stunned and confused about what has just happened, but it certainly doesn't breed any goodwill towards trousermen in general... and nobody learns what's really vital, which is about the existence of Cox, and the fact that he is on his way.

+ welp. this is clearly going nowhere good.
+ kind of mad at this alternate version of himself for not being more helpful.
+ ugh ugh don't think of this world as a real place...

Unlike regular memories where there is a strong sense of the emotions and sensations in a memory an alternity is more like watching it on TV. Your character is very aware this is someone else's life and while they may get some emotional impact from it -- it should be more like an information dump.
