Recently, I accosted a Universal Shipping Mastodon near the Cortez jump hole in California. Her captain proved unresponsive (and later, suicidal and fluent in gibberish), and so the tedious task of destroying it in a Scimitar began.

One of your pilots, Marc Riviera, was nearby and moved to assist. While a Mastodon is far from a dangerous opponent, I was still surprised - and grateful - to see a Dagger engaging. Every extra gun helps.

His performance was quite impressive given his ship and, I assume from his equipment, the fact that he only recently joined your band. Unfortunately, few of the scientists aboard the ship could be rescued in time. A scan did pick some up in Riviera's hold, so perhaps he was more successful than I; I hope they made it to Mactan safely.

Your recruit shows considerable promise. Keep an eye on him.

Greetings Administrator Whitenoise

Thank you for informing us of these actions by our recruit. We will indeed keep an eye on him. As I am sure you know, good recruits are few and far between.

Good luck in bringing misfortune to all the corporate snollygosters, and stay safe out there.
