Preparation for the expedition has gone well, Lord Captain Jaeger, Chief Chirurgeon Winter, and my self met with Captain Jaeger's tribal contacts and have successfully initiated diplomatic discussions with the tribe and we'll be waiting for their return to speak with their leader. Despite Chief Chirurgeon Winter creating a social situation with Captain Jaeger's contacts that almost escalated to combat. The contacts will return in 30 days to take us to begin discussions with their leader, I have made arrangements to have the expedition team's armor fitted with environment resistance. Winter's ability to create a negative social situation is happening all to frequently, this will be something I will have to look into fixing.

Late into the 30 days an altercation occurred between Dallas and Urlek, Dallas shot Urlek in the head with, what I can piece together, his inferno pistol killing him. This has set back the plans to open discussions with the secutior fleet. Lord Captain Jaeger was the first to the seen and his reaction to why Dallas shot Urlek was to fire both his bolt pistols into Dallas apparently blowing off his arm. The Captain had thought Dallas dead but he was just seriously wounded. By the time I had arrived on the scene Dallas had already regained consciousness and gone into hiding, the arbites could not find him and the Captain has given the order to have Dallas stripped of his rank. I have moved the remaining astropaths to the ship and given them instructions to relay a message to to Kalegri to have the notification that was meant to be sent to Urlek sent to another astropath. As well, I spoke with the navigators left on board to see if it would be possible to make a short jump to inform Kalegri of the same if the astropaths were unable to get the message through.

Other duties on the ship had me ensure that the entire crew was aware that Dallas Lampertus was stripped of his rank and was a wanted man. Fek had volunteered to hunt him down, a suggestion I ran by the Captain, he had informed me that she was to do so with his full authority and any equipment or man power she required.
