'Evenin Sirs and Ma'ams.
Rather uneventful patrol last night. Maintenance finally got that transponder installed, had to have the thing shipped in from the Rio Grande. Regardless, it seems to be working well enough though I'm still waiting on the corresponding papers.
The Pirates seemed to give me a break last night; looking at other reports you lasses and lads gave them a fair pounding. Hopefully they'll learn not to stick their noses where it hurts.
Heading to Manhattan I encountered a highly unusual vessel (Callsign: 'Pokeracef'), carrying all sorts of odd equipment including Rheinland weaponry. I've informed him of the law relating to the situation; with any luck he'll fix up his load-out. If not... We'll see.

Communication Log
Continuing my patrol; I came across a mercenary, one James McDowell carrying a Rogue communicator. I originally mistook the man for a Rogue himself, however he produced the appropriate paperwork. Regardless, his close affiliation with the Pirates is concerning. I've aksed the LSF for any appropriate files.
The Mercenary
Nothing else of note to report, although the Logistics branch at West Point had a few Vengeance IV's lying round and was kind enough to allow me use of them.
