So, I’m still a newbie both at Terran Conflict and English writing, but that won’t stop me to post here about the spiteful vengeance of Morgan Rock, the snotty pirate exquisite.
So, what this DiD will be? I’m going with TC 3.1 Bankrupt Assassin start, with some house rules and a fair bunch of mods. I'll also be making up objective as the story goes, I hope that in the end all will make sense and you'll enjoy the reading.
I’ll be using the ship rebalance mod, the bonus pack, the codea weapon system + military transport + personel transport + base salary if I get to have a carrier, which is quite a far fetched goal, the turret missle defence mk2 script, equipement for the otas company just because it’s there for another game and marine repairs.
The house rules will be:
no M6/M7/M2/M1 except for the flagship and then only if I’m on board (a true pirate would never trust a capship to one of his fellow comrades!)
no factories or trading for profit or race trading/escort/build/scan/defence missions (kill, ship retrieval, sector charts and all yaki/pirate missions are fair game)
no using of bailed ship (the bounty is here to be sold, arrrrr)
no argon trading
no insurances

This is going to be big. the family reunited is going for a forced resupply from a Space Fuel distillery, this very day. All the operation will be directly lead from my father, he wanted not to take any risk in this. He’s suspecting a set up from the argon hence the nature of the secrecy and urgency. His carrack will lead the main forces, I’ll be on the north gate for traffic control and my cousin Mallard with the full interceptor wing will be on the south gate providing security from the argon police forces.
I’ve my orders.

Here I am.
Where am I?
Aldana Hill.
After the emergency jump, I’m all messed up. I’m now hiding in this damned forge in this damned sector, surrounded with all those dammned Argon ships.
I’ve no reports about O’ren, but nuw I’m just lucky to be here safely. Argon police seems to have lost my tracks, which is a welcome surprise as I was an inch from certain death just a minute ago. Damn O’ren and his stupid crusade.
I’ll need to lay low for a while, at least until I’m safely at home again. And the jumpdrive is gone.

Now I’m here, at the Telady trading station of Freedom Reach. But where is everyone else? Nothing seems to make sense. Our base is gone, ruins scattered all over the sector.
On the way there, I’ve been engaged by some bounty hunters. They were dead before I could ask any questions but the ship nevertheless got some dent here and there. Everything seems to be okay, but I’ll need to fix it.
Some trader here told me a voice from the rehab center out of the north gate. One of the janitors working there says something about an argon fleet coming trough some time after we left. I need to check this rumor.
Everything is lost. My father engaged the police force to let us escape, and I’ve no idea of where it may be, not even if he’s still alive. I’ve to be prepared for the worst case scenario, but I hope he got away. Or got captured, at least.
Mission Status: Gain enough respect from the Yaki to dock at their base. Check with their informants about the argon fleet rumors. If this was a set up, I’m going to get at the bottom of it, whatever it takes
Property owned: one mamba.

The plan had a major setback. I'm getting a lot of attention from Boron and Paranid, and I'm not prepared for a so long journey trough Paranid sectors.
On a positive note, it seems argon are no longer hunting me. Maybe they think nobody was left alive after their raids? That may also imply there were no survivors to report my absence.
Still, I can't wage war to all the known world and without a safe heaven nor a jumpdrive, I need to be careful in my actions. I'll keep my facade of being an anonymous split courier with the Argons and I'll try to avoid pissing the Teladis, which right now are the only one that tolerate me for what I am. I think they just care about what I can sell them.
This pirate base here at Priest Pity seems a good place where to stop. Still, I'll need something way faster to fly into, and the nearest shipyard is of those damned Argon.
Sill: Paranid wants war? I'll go send them a signal. But I'll be basing my ship laundering in Ceo's Sprite, even if that means navigating five times enemy sectors and losing lot of the loot to bounty hunters; Argon will pretty soon be informed of my actions.
Journal Addendum:
I'm getting some mixed luck in looting. sending ships from Hatikvah`s
Faith up to the shipyard results in two in three ship lost to pirates or police. Nevertheless, I've made about 300k credits, enough to sell those 2 HEPT for a full 8 PAC battery. Not the best fighter setup, but I'll be destroying a lot less lot this way.
I really need something with a turret, missiles almost got me twice, and repairing the ship is burning trough my hard worked credits.
I'll also need to pose for the good guy with the telady, or I'll not be able to obtain the permission to purchase a ship from them.

Argon Police Report #2523412
Morgan Rock, wanted for arson, treachery, murder, piracy, theft and smuggling, supposedly died in a fight with a Paranid military escort in sector Split Fire.
Multiple reports from Teladi traders place him at an equipement dock with a shady man, suspected of being part of the Yaki Syndicate in Company Pride some mizuras before the facts.
One witness overhead a conversation about a contract hit in the aforementioned sector, but was not sure about the nature or details of the agreement.
All of the suspect properties were sold shortly before the facts, except for a recently purchased Kestrel.
Debris compatible with that model were found on the scene of the investigation. Preliminary analysis and evaluation of the scene, plus eye witnesses of the moment before the accident took place, point the probable cause of death towards an asteroid which suddenly crossed the flight path of the supposed Rock Kestrel, killing him on the spot.
Bioscanners revealed a darker spot on the asteroid impact area of supposed biological origin. Further analysis are required to determine whether or not that material is compatible by the known traces from Rock father.
