Record+-+Argos+Jaeger+05

I have just received verification of the untimely death of Lord Navigator Jace. This does not bode well for the remaining leg of our voyage, never mind the return trip. It seems my role reassignments cannot wait for our return to the void. I will have to notify Fek of her promotion and immediately put her to task in leading the investigation into this matter.

As for the role of first officer, I have broadened my potential candidates to include Winter, and potentially Ser Gideon. The man has become something of a hero to the entire ship, having saved both me and my crew from peril on more than one occasion. While some would see a place at my right hand as a just reward for his services to the ship, he is too honorable to accept it. He has stated, however, that a sufficient tithe to his house would grant us his continued service. I could have that arranged, seeing as we are supporting one less noble on out vessel, with the Lord Navigator deceased.

Ultimately, my choice of first officer should not come down to whom I favor most. I need someone who can provide alternate perspectives when required. I believe it may be best to consult with War Priest Deacon on this. It would be good to get an outside perspective on these matters.

Would that I had lost my arm when I wasn't in the midst of a voyage across the galaxy. I am growing impatient that it will likely take the duration of the voyage and the return trip to obtain a replacement. I wonder how the precision of a well tuned prosthesis compares to the original arm. Yasha, with her two prosthesis is able to be the best known pilot on our ship. I wonder if her prosthetics help her with that at all, or if she is merely that good to be go with? If they have increased her abilities, it would be prudent to find who provided her with such arms for acquiring my own.
