Jaeger Journal Entry 02

By the graces if the God - Emperor, we are alive! While forced to make an emergency return to real space, we have found ourselves safely returned within a Solar system. Navigator Jace has informed me that we are now well off course, and that the solar system we are now in has yet to be identified. Getting to our destination may require a return to well trafficked imperial space before we can resume our course. I have had Urlek contact the Administratum in order to confirm our time, but I have not received word back yet. It would be a shame to have to have to reissue my letter of marque before we even reach our first major destination. Still, our present situation is far better than what it had been moments before. As long as I have a ship and a means to steer it, we can keep pressing forward. If we aren't immediately assaulted by enemy vessels, I may just announce an immediate shipwide holiday to give the crew a moment to appreciate that they are still living.

While Lord Navigator Jace determines the best route to the Lyncis system from here, it would be prudent to inspect our immediate surroundings for potential threats and opportunities. If we can find or do something worthwhile here, we can turn this setback into a blessing in disguise. I will speak to Dallas on this matter, as I know home to have something of a nose for opportunity.

After some initial discomfort as a result of his discovery of our runecaster tech, I have managed to get Myrmidon Deacon. As long as we can have him working constructively rather than deconstructively, I don't foresee any conflicts that we cannot have resolved with that much difficulty. First officer Roland has expressed some misgivings of my handing authority for training our guardsmen to the Inquisitorial Asset. I am aware of the possibility that if disgruntled,  he may attempt to use his position to stage a coup, still, from my current observations, we will stand to gain more from working with him than against.

Our Master Chirurgeon, Winter, must presently have her hands full dealing with the casualties of our recent ordeal. As a trained missionary of the ecclesiarchy, I am hoping that she can assist in maintaining solid relations with the Inquisition.

The estimated damage to our crew from that warp beast is estimated to be in at over two thousand. I may need to have Fek draw from our known mutant population for the time being to ensure that our systems remain at optimal efficiency. Having extermination as an only alternative to service should be a good incentive for hard work.
