The analysis of the vessel's power arrays is now complete. As we suspected, the adapted weaponry is putting a strain on this Molly-built ship. As such, the power couplings have been partially damaged, delivering only a portion of the power core's energy to the weapons. For this ship to be of use for us, the power couplings have to be ripped out completely and replaced by something new.

The rotary mechanisms of the weapon mounts appear to be constructed from and supported by sentient nanorobots. The ship appears to be rerouting the nanobot reserve in case if the weapon mounts suffer any damage. Additionally, further hull inspection has revealed several navigator sensors mounted across the fuselage of the vessel. Upon checking the ship's computer, we were able to deduce that the sensors were utilized for advanced automated piloting, such as even a blind person would have been able to pilot it. Fascinating.

We suspect for the ship to possess an advanced artificial intelligence, though it made no attempts to communicate with us or show any signs of response when we did. Addressing the black box logs may reveal some truth regarding that matter.

The black box is currently being deciphered. From what we have now, it appears that the ship had at least five owners. This negates our theory about the dead woman being an assassination target - it is clear that the ship belonged to her.
