Crashed Slaver Ship

During the mutiny, the slaver ship that carried us to … was badly damaged. After the crash, our first priority was survival, and other than stripping the ship for resources, we gave it little thought. But now the time has come to uncover the secrets of our former masters.

To do so, it will be necessary to restore power to the ship's central computer. As a first step, our … engineers rigged a series of solar cells to the ship's outer hull. The command consoles in the bridge are now operational. Unfortunately, the engineering deck was sealed off during the crash, and breaking through the blast doors won't be easy.

Say this much for Minamar Specialized Industries: the slave-holding scum know how to safeguard their secrets.

Prying open the ship's blast doors has proven a monumental task. What few laser cutters we possess were designed for low-scale mining operations. Only by tunneling up from the deck below was the team able to make any progress. … engineers are now hard at work restoring power to the rest of the ship's systems.

While our … engineers have managed to restore power to the ship's computer core, a significant chunk of hardware was damaged in the crash. It should be possible to repair, but doing so means putting even more of a strain on our already overburdened science team.

Thanks to some incredible, outside-the-box thinking, our … engineers have managed to restart the damaged computer core. By introducing a procedural AI to the ship's systems, we were able to engage it in dialogue. Essentially, we convinced the machine to work with, rather than against us.

The breakthrough has provided our scientists with new insights into the nature of data encryption. As we continue to make our presence felt on the galactic stage, such knowledge could prove invaluable.

The damaged computer core has been fully repaired, and while most of the data is encoded, decryption efforts are already underway. If we're willing to put in the time and allocate the resources, it's only a matter of time before we have access to everything - including the location of our former home worlds.
