The "Pirate Cache", a very small planetary outpost, obviously trying to be well hidden with several pieces of junk and scrap lying around. There are several Settlement Comms Log Uplinks under the big scrap canopy, but with only one of them containing a message.

   GETTING YOUR HANDS DIRTY
   If I hadn’t shot him we would have been knee deep in police by now. Do you want us to get caught? Is that it?

   If you didn’t want to get your hands dirty, you shouldn’t have signed up to this. If we hadn’t vented the ship, the crew would have called the police and we’d be so much space dust.

   Stash the loot and make sure any transponders are disabled. We didn’t steal these things just for someone to track them down. We’ll come back in a few days to collect it once the heat is off us.



Despite having a Data Uplink, there is nothing noteworthy valueable lying around. This Pirate Cache seems to be picked clean and is not of future interest. The incident referred to in the log is a wonderful example of behaviour of our dearest human pirates. I don't want to be too judgy, but pirating is objectively some of the most senseless activity someone can pursue. There are numerable ways to get rich beyond imagining as a pilot in the galaxy. If you have a functioning ship, you can make much more money with pretty much any other activity. Pirating is ... inherent.
