The Ankaa bar was full with ship captains, and crew. Jack Nitloc was just looking for a drink, something to calm his nerves before his first journey. He looked unsure about whether he would be able to cut it in the Merchant game. His father, Jack Senior, had been a merchant of many...misfortunes. His merchant fleet was destroyed by Rim Mercs, when his escort was confronted with hostile ships, and turned on him. Reports showed that remains of the turn-coat escorts were found, with dead among them.

Tonight, thoughts of his fathers death, and others rolled through his mind. His fathers death had always been the drive for him to graduate from the Ankaa Pirate Academy, and follow in his footsteps, with a little more fortune. Although Jack Sn had died when he was still young, he remembered the wild stories of escaping close encounters from borg, and riches beyond his wildest dream. His father always had ideas of grandeur. Jack Jr had no such aspirations, but he did hope to in some way to help the system prosper through trade, and maybe "make a little coin" for himself.

Jack took a seat at the door, wondering what his first move would be. "Ill have whats on tap please" Jack said to the bartender. The tall man behind the counter dropped a mug full of yellow liquid infront of, with thick foam on the top. Jack thanked the man, and began drinking.

"How can you drink that stuff" said a man sitting a stool down from Jack. "What?" Jack replied, a little puzzled. "Beer, that stuffs horrible, how can you drink it?" the man said flatly. "Its easy, I open my mouth, and I let artificial gravity do the rest" said Jack smugly. "Funny." said the stranger. "My names Sitruc, nice to meet you" said the man, as he moved one stool closer to Jack.

"Hi, the names Jack. Jack Nitloc" said Jack. "Do you want something?" said Jack, as he took another drink from his beer. "Just making friends, I guess your not here for the same reason" Sitruc said sarcastically. "No, im just here to collect my thoughts" said Jack, and took another drink. "In a crowded tavern, with alchohal? If I were your crew, I would be a little more then worried" said Sitruc.

"Well your not my crew- Wait. How did you know I was a captain?" said Jack accusingly. "I was a teacher at the acadamy you know. Untill they fired me a few weeks ago. Apparently women don't like to be slapped on their ass...repeatadly". "Charming" said Jack "What do you want?".

"Just thought you would like to know; there is a mission that suits your skills. You are the son of Jack Nitloc are you not? You do bear his name, and look strikingly like him" said Sitruc. "How did you know my father?" said Jack, a little stunned and confused. "I used to work on his ship as his Science Officer. He also let me go, too much respect for women I'd say." Sitruc laughed a little "Worked out for me though, it was right before his main fleet was attacked by the same people meant to protect him. Kind of ironic if you think about it".

Jack was a little annoyed at this point. He couldn't believe someone would regard his fathers life so lightly. He was a human being, a person. "Look, thanks for the information... but I would prefer it if you didn't talk about my father." said Jack, slightly pissed. "Ok, ok. Im sorry. Just owed it to Jack for saving my life and all, even if it was unintentional" said Sitruc. "As far as im concerned" said Jack "You saved your own life. You owe nothing to me, or my father. You are the one with no respect". With that Jack got up, paid the bartender and left the tavarn.

He walked upto the nearest mission terminal. "Theres the mission" Jack muttered quietly. He entered his name into the terminal, and uploaded the information to his ship. His comms officer contacted him.

"Sir" Announced the comms device "We have just recieved a mission log from Ankaa. They wish to varify whether we accept the terms, and they want to know when we will be leaving sir."

Jack answered the comms after a moments thought "Have helms ready for a pickup, for the Arms. Tell Ankaa we need a location for the pickup, and we are leaving as soon as we aquire the weapons."

With that, Jack Nitloc, new Pirate Captain, and Aspiring Merchant, set up to the docks to board his flag ship, and begin his journey to create Trade Routes through out Erridani system, and become known as a the single most famous Merchant Captain.
