My fellow pilots, I'd like to start by saying it's a true pleasure to be back on the force and serving our fair Liberty with honor and integrity. It feels like a lifetime ago that I was taken out of active duty due to an injury sustained during a Rogue skirmish. With my wounds healed and my ship repaired, I once more take flight into the star sea to be the eyes of our blind lady Justice.
I had the distinct pleasure of patrolling with Catherine Raven today. She's newly promoted, but as level-headed as always. Besides some spirited conversation though, not much else occurred in space. As we finished our patrol of the core and outer systems, we came upon a Bretonian Firefly by the call sign of "The_Raven". Local comm chatter picked up a request from the aforementioned vessel for the sale of cardamine. This ship bears a significant resemblance to another Bretonian Firefly I've seen by the call sign of "The_Defiler".
I hate to be hasty in my conclusions, but a possible operation may be springing up under our noses. Of course, The Raven gave a long winded explanation for his solicitation that amounted to nothing more than a pathetic cover for his true intentions. However, the hold was empty and he seemed to be a minimal threat. Whoever his potential dealer was decided not to show. Catherine gave him a stern warning and we let him be on his way. I'll keep a special eye out for that one.
Besides that situation, nothing of interest is left to report.
