MEMO: 1789.2.29 (ARCHIVED)
As instructed I've kept a close eye on the crew currently occupying the Firefly-class formerly known as X-913.
One of my agents recently managed to board the ship under false pretenses and I now have a limited feed aboard the ship.
Since my last report the crew left Hera to head out to Greenleaf. They took on cargo and passengers both legally. From what I could tell, the first part of their journey was quiet. However a number of the passengers on board weren't who they say they were. But then who is nowadays? Because of a course miscalculation they had to stop at New Melbourne for additional fuel. It was in the second part of the journey that things became interesting. First they passed an Old Trans-U model, which I can only assume was a real Reaver ship, not one of ours. No incident occurred however. Later in the journey one of the passengers was murdered and the crew timely rounded up the suspects and made a quick investigation. They reached the conclusion that it was a suicide, I'm not inclined to agree with that fact but it's really of no concern. The reason their investigation came to an abrupt end was that they were intercepted by an Alliance ASREV, apparently the murdered passenger was carrying an emergency signal ring. The Allaince told them to stand down and prepare to be boarded. They let the ASREV dock but opened fire as he marshals boarded the ship. With use of grenades they made quick work of the Alliance officer and their ship. After this encounter they quickly returned on their journey to Greenleaf, abandoning the derelict ASREV in the hope that they wouldn't get caught by the Alliance.
Some interesting observations I've been able to make using the new feed.
The ship's pilot, Luz is continuing with his endeavor to check for listening devices of various sorts, he has yet to find ours but with his persistence I'm worried how long it will last. He also seems to have an innate distrust in people, even members of his own crew. We might be able to use this later.
The ship's captain, Nathaniel seems to handle well under pressure, making split decisions, taking quick control of a situation and coming up with complex plans in a moment's notice. He also seems to appose the Alliance and doesn't seem to have a problem with killing. His first priorities seem to be to his crew and not getting caught. I'm confident that he will also display these qualities on any missions we send him on and thus could be a valuable ally. We will of course at that time have to make it clear that it is in his best interest to help us.
The ship's engineer remains a mystery, my team still has not found any background about him. What worries me more now, is that he has shown himself to be more than capable in combat. I'm uncertain if he's a danger to our plans or his own intentions.
The ship's companion has taken permanent residence in one of the shuttles, using it to fly to one clients she might have. She has shown herself to be more than willing to help the crew, even on their more obscure jobs.
I'd also like to express concern that another corporation might be keeping an eye on the crew. I can't really say anything right now but I will let you know something when I know more.
Regards,
Black

Rising Sun (pt 1)
Rising Sun Corp.
MEMO: 1789.2.15 (ARCHIVED)
I've acquired the data core and have sent it along the agreed delivery route.
As I mentioned in my last report (index 1789.2.07), contact was made with Nathaniel Hawk and an agreement was reached for him and his crew to retrieve the data core from the Prometheus research station.
After a single meeting, I directed him towards Jim's Used Space Ship Lot where I had made agreements to have the Firefly-class ship X-913 delivered upon payment of 2100 credits. A point of interest on the character of Captain Hawk is that even though he was made aware of the arrangement, the proprietor of the ship yard managed to swindle the full 3000 credits that I had given Nathaniel for the ship and repairs.
After inspecting the ship, Nathaniel hired a crew to do the job.
The first he hired was a pilot by the name of Luz. I would like to note that I'm unsure at this point if this man is a danger to our operation. Outwardly he seems innocent, but he searched his own ship various times for listening devices, obstructing any attempts I would make to place them. My sources also tell me that he throughly investigates any abnormalities that might indicate tampering. I have put in a request for a more detailed background check on Luz.
Nathaniel also hired a mechanic. A second troublesome figure, who might be a problem. I tried my own background check on the mechanic but could not find a single record on the cortex. Thus far I have even been unable to confirm his name. The only thing I can report is that he attires himself in black garments with black sun glasses and never goes anywhere without a gun.
Nathaniel also has taken on a companion, Morena. At first she was a passenger but now she has permanently taken residence in one of the ships shuttles. I've been unable to find anything out of the ordinary about her but I'm going to get in touch with my contacts within the Guild.
Despite my original doubts, the crew performed admirably and efficiently in retrieving the data core. Morena and the mechanic swiftly acquired the location of the Prometheus station from Harker, who as I had reported had in turn learned the location from merchants who had stumbled across the station.
However it should be noted that Nathaniel showed some questionable behavior. While on the mission to retrieve the data core, he also took along some passengers and some cargo, namely a race horse bound for Beaumonde. My sources tell me that on route to Beaumonde the crew woke up to find the horse missing without a trace. One of the passengers by the name of Don was then discovered covered in blood and eating an unknown meat-like substance. He's also reported to have been very delusional. The response of Captain Hawk was to dump the horse container on Whitefall and abandon the passenger on Beaumonde.
I've sent a more detailed report to the psycho-analysts to determine if this kind of behavior can be used to our advantage.
Following the psychological report and background checks, I believe that this crew has potential and it would be in the best of the companies interest to keep an eye on them. I also strongly recommend them for any future mission that need to be run in this area.
