Captain's Log: 10 May 822 A.S.
J. Scott, Commanding Officer SV-Atreyu, Corvo Class Science Ship
Repairs to the ship have been completed and all but the most injured crew members have returned to duty. I have suspended our research mission momentarily in order to pay for the repairs that were required after The Core assault. We have hauled 1000 units of Iridium to Newark Station in New York which more than paid for the repairs.
While we were in New York I granted the crew some leave so that they could relax before we headed back to the Omicrons to continue our mission of scientific research and discovery. With the help of the autopilot I took the ship into the Pennsylvania system and took on 1000 units of alloy to sell at the Freeports in the Omicron systems. On the way back from Pennsylvania a Rogue snub craft disabled the lane and demanded I drop my cargo. Instead of following the pirates demand I fired two Razor salvos and destroyed his vessel. Prior to departing the New York system I left the rogue with the local police authority on Manhattan.
Back in the Omicrons an independent Core ID'd Battlecruiser disrupted our cruise engines approximately 10 kilometers from the Omicron Zeta jump hole. As a precaution I immediately ordered the crew to go to battle stations and charge the newly installed Battle Razor in case this individual was as dangerous and unpredictable as the others I have encountered. Luckily the Core vessel just wanted to "Say Hello", I am beginning to think that they just like to harass people for the fun of it. Either way when we are in their territory I will maintain a full defensive posture to ensure my crew and scientists are safe.
Once in Zeta we encountered two Nomad patrols and quickly eliminated them before they could call for reinforcements. Luckily the rest of the journey has been fairly quiet. I am currently looking through old system charts in an attempt to select a system for our next scientific survey mission. My hope is to be able to explore the Aegian Nebula and the radiation it emits in the Omircron-94 system but I will have get approval from the Corsairs in that system which is unlikely at best. If we are unable to secure passage to the Nebula then I will shift to the Tau systems since we have already explored all the accessible Omicron systems and do not have any desire to head deeper into Nomad controlled space.
