He had enough of this. The fighting, the mourning, the cries of people dieing echoing in his mind.

He wanted to go back to the basics. To where it all started. To trading.

Trading is the essence of Sirius. Without trading there would only be isolation.

There was only one problem: trading is regulated by the governments and they are curropted to the bones. Bribed by the Megacorporations of Sirius the governments obey their command.

He didn't want to be a slave of one of the Megacorps. He would have to find another way of.....free trading.

After several drinks at the bar he came up with an idea. He would found a new Trader Alliance. All Traders that want to trade freely could join in and contribute to the economical power of this alliance. once this power is enough, the governments have no choice but to either obey them as well or start a full-scale War.

The idea became clearer. He found a name quickly: Allied Traders of Sirius. A clear name that states the intentions. All he needed to do now is to start it and maybe find a way to get rid of some unwanted competition.



His name is Jesco.

So Jesco founded his AToS. Wasn't too difficult. But then again, only time could show if this alliance would prevail. But he had an idea to strengthen the AToS.

It was a risky idea. That was for sure. But he needed someone to occupy the Megacorps and the Governments. He was watching TV as it crackled and the face of someone else appeared, talking to the people in the background if that damn thing was on.....not very professional. Introduced himself as Black Scorpion, Leader of the CCoF. Lamented about 'The Truth' and that it shall soon be seen....

But then again......Jesco thought he just found the one to occupy the Government. At least until his own plans could be set into motion. He readied his Valkyrie, called in a favor from an old friend and sent him to Omicron Gamma.


There his friend talked to a bloke called Captain Nobodie. Silly name. However, that Captain was easy to persuade. Jesco's friend introduced himself as Mr. Smith, a lackey of Mr. Jesco. They talked a lot about their 'common goals', 'the truth' and other hollow words. After the talk he left "Mr. Jones" at that Corsairs disposal. Jones was a specialist in constructing cloaking devices. A small price for what the AToS got in return. The CCoF would take care of their competition AND ensure the safety of their freighters.


Pirates.....money always gets their attention.......




OOC:
I had to edit the story so it is in unison with statements of the Pilot Diary. Sorry for that. I was just not paying attention.

Several days after the contract with the CCoF came to be Jesco had to admit that those particular pirates were more than just a bunch of blood- and moneygreedy people. Apart from a single incident that yet has to be investigated, they kept their word. For the AToS Sirius became all the safer.

He decided to find out more about their leaders once he had time for it. But for now, more urgent agendas had to be followed. The CCoF was causing mayhem amongst AToS-Competitors and that was very much to Jesco's liking. When the day is over, for most people all will stay the same. Pirates doing pirate stuff (Jesco doubted that the CCoF would care if they got all the blame), Traders doing trader stuff.

But those who look closer could see a small shift: Some trade routes already were in AToS lone possession and their market share in nearly every branch grew steadily. AToS membership counts also have increased by 300%.

There although was an increase in Artifact sales and drug consumption. But nobody seems to know where those contrabands came from.

"If it stays like this," he said to himself "AToS will soon be the Monopolist in every major branch. And when that is achieved, i can bring my true plans into motion."

He fell into his bed and dreamt of the things that will be...
