Hurley Park, Togher System, Stardate 3308.09.25

Well, if this isn't freekin' FANTASTIC. I stopped at Cavendish Mines in LHS 3384 a few days ago for some routine maintenance and some...equipment of questionable legality that I can only buy at anarchy stations. Cavendish Mines in LHS 3384 is owned and controlled by the aptly-named Children of Anarchy faction. I got ahold of said equipment for legitimate salvage and exploration purposes easily enough and left the station to continue mapping other parts of the sector, conducting salvage operations as I went. I'm now in the Togher system, approximately 34LY rimward of LHS 3384. Stopped in at Hurley Park for general maintenance and made a very disconcerting discovery. This is the LAST time I trust anyone from Children of Anarchy to work on my ship without my direct supervision. I've just discovered that all my flight and travel logs from the last six months or so are missing in their entirety. Maintenance logs, map data on systems I've visited, my general pilot log entries, personal logs, records of courier data and other general data logs from this time period are no longer present. The actual data I transported has been delivered safely to the recipient and was not compromised, but the records containing the names of client factions, the type of data transported and what I was paid to do it have been stolen from my ship's computer! Mr. Minus was quick to tell me how stupid I was to let that happen (he's got a mouth on him, that one...) and how it serves me right for letting these anarchists work on the ship without watching what they were doing at all times. It's like he thinks I left the keys in the ignition or something. All in all, nothing particularly important is missing....but it is going to look odd that my logbook now goes directly from Stardate 3308.03.28 to 3308.09.19 as if nothing happened in between, and my flight log has me magically appearing at LHS 3338 from LP 547-159 with no record of the trip and 20 or so stops between, any of the cartographic data I took on those systems, etc. Children of Anarchy as a faction has just lost any sort of trust they may have once had from me. I don't know what they wanted my data for, but I won't be letting them pull a stunt like that again, and next time I see one of the hangar pukes that touched my ship, I'm gonna slap the shit out of him.In other news, I recently came through the Noatiaca system, taking cartographic data and performing a couple salvage and rescue operations on my way back towards the Core Sys Sector. There has been some notable Thargoid activity rimward of the bubble since the massacre at HIP 22460 and some strange visual phenomena (referred to as "the anomalies" by the media). Of note here: While performing a salvage operation on the surface of one of the moons in Noatiaca, a non-human signal source was detected. Turned out to be the remains of a damaged Thargoid sensor. I don't know if it's normal to find such a thing so far from the Pleiades sector and on the opposite side of the bubble, and I don't know what it might indicate. I'll continue this log if I find out any more. In the meantime, I'm just going to continue doing what I've been doing.
