In a twisting plot of investigation and intrigue, we have uncovered the corruption that has fallen on House Vorenus, and brought the remaining Navigators to heel once more, though they are now the decrepit husk of what they once were. Our efforts to conceal the charts of this new ghoul star system seems to have been the trigger of this atrocity. Deacon, has graciously shown a measure of understanding regarding the sensitivity of the handling of these charts, and has entrusted them to me. I have also been made aware of an unusual trait possessed by the War Priest. According Urlek, he does not carry any psychic presence. It seems that this had both him and our late Navigator unnerved. I can understand why, considering what an advantage this would give him. It is likely that this trait has assisted him greatly in his work for the ordo hereticus, though I doubt that knowledge of this mutation would do well for his standing on the vessel, even if it has been seemingly sanctioned by the inquisition. I will do him the favor of not discussing this aspect of his nature with him.

I should also make a point of meeting with Urlek to restore some goodwill between us. It was, as I had suspected, too easy to accuse him of these crimes, but it was necessary to clear him off as a suspect before seeking out traitors within the Lord Navigator's own house. As much as I find his presence distasteful, I do admire the circumstances of his rise to his present station. He is a reminder of my father's philosophy of seeking and drawing out the potential among even the lowest in the Imperium.

The now crippled state of the Navigator house will likely make them unable to compete effectively against the other houses, especially now that the true Vorenus Bloodline has come to its untimely end with the death of Lord Jace. The remaining Navigators may need assistance in asserting their claim to the house. However, I must be careful in my handling of these matters as the navis nobilite would not look kindly on House Jaeger if we are perceived to have a Navigator house serving as a slave house. It may be prudent, once we return, to make contact with another Navigator house to assist in these matters, or at least discuss with the remaining members of their house how they should proceed.

Dallas has continued to maintain good form, having repeatedly gone above and beyond the duties of his position in battle. For the moment, he is still my primary candidate to succeed Roland. He has also shown some understandable concern regarding the current state of chaotic factionalization of the mutant population. I share these concerns as well. I would like to hold a meeting with both him and Winter to discuss these matters and to formulate a plan.

It is good to see that Fek is acclimatizing well to her new position. I hope that her brand of leadership will bring the guardsmen in line with my expectations. One of them, a Sgt. Lee, I believe, was jumpy enough to drop his rifle just at the sight of me. He seems to be functioning as Fek’s primary assistant, so I’ll likely be seeing more of his face around the ship. I just hope next time, he’ll have his salute down pat.
